Before I started lessons with Janelle, I would hear classical and operatic singers at church and elsewhere, and thought to myself, "I would never be able to sing like that." However, after only two months of lessons with Janelle, I am now able to hit notes at a much higher range than ever before, and even add vibrato and dynamics to it. High range and good dynamics were two of my main goals when starting with Janelle, and in just this short time, the exercises she's given me have helped me make incredible progress toward that goal. One good example - Janelle shared with me some very good therapeutic vocal exercises that involve singing through a straw, and other challenging but good exercises that help you control your breathing and strengthen your range. We were working on a song where the chorus required me to sing above my normal comfortable range. So Janelle led me through the therapeutic exercises, then had me sing chorus again right afterward, and like magic, I was able to hit the highest notes with much greater ease, less strain, and even some vibrato. Definitely reach out to Janelle if you want to have an excellent and well-educated teacher to help you sing pop, classical, opera or really any style.

My kid likes her and is very happy to take piano and vocal classes with her every time! Janelle interacts with kids and motivate them quite well. I don’t have to push my kid to practice everyday. She just wants to do it. Janelle really nails it!

My 6 year old daughter and I have both been taking lessons with miss Janelle. We look forward to it every week. She is patient and fun and my daughter learns a new song every week. She also started singing with her and now she can sing and play together! I myself have learned some challenging classical pieces and enjoy playing them at home.

Janelle is a wonderful pianist and teacher. She takes time to get to know her students and their preferences and style. I have one kid that enjoys jazz, and she nurtures that love, and another that loves pop. She introduces them to multiple genres as well.

Janelle is an exceptional music teacher who we would wholeheartedly recommend to any parent looking for vocal lessons for their child. Our 15-year-old has been taking voice lessons with Janelle Finamore for nearly 3 years, and it has been worth every cent. Janelle is a true professional- not only has she helped our child develop her vocal range and projection, but she has given her confidence to successfully audition for solo performances through her school choir! She is a true gem of a teacher. You will not regret choosing her for your child!

Janelle is wonderful; both my son (9) and daughter (8) love her! I appreciate her patience and attention to detail. We have been taking lessons for 4 years and it makes me proud to know they are learning music.They are learning not only how to read music from lesson books but also learning fun pop songs to keep them engaged.The time and resources invested in piano lessons has helped build confidence and another way for both to understand the world through music.The piano recitals are really fun too. 😊If you’re lucky enough to hire Janelle (she’s usually booked) then look no further.Thank you,Drew

Janelle is a great piano and voice teacher. My daughter and I have been taking lessons with her for five years now and she has helped us both progress in such a nice way. We tried two other teachers before we found her, and she is by far the best. My daughter also does voice lessons with her and she loves doing the recitals. Janelle is easy going and a professional. I highly recommend using her not only for your children, but for adults as well.

Ms. Janelle has been teaching my daughter Paino and voice lessons for the last 2 years. We have done a combination of in person and online and I am amazed how much my child has learned to read and play music. She is prompt and very reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn.

My 10 year old daughter is so happy she found miss Janelle. She looks forward to seeing her in person every week. She is a fun and friendly teacher. My daughter is learning how to read music while also playing fun pop songs. She also takes singing with Miss Janelle. She loves the breathing exercises and all the disney and pop hits. Highly recommend Miss Janelle for kids looking to learn new instruments!

Wow! This was the best piano lesson experience that my daughter has ever had . Janelle was amazing and patient with my daughter and was able to accommodate our busy schedule with no problem. Highly recommend her and so grateful we met her. My daughter can finally read music on her own and sing along with the piano. Thank you so much for everything!

I have been a student of Janelle for 3 years now. I have improved tremendously. I went from barely even sounding on tune to being able to sing effortlessly with the help of her. My diction and performance also improved greatly. Learning the basics with her helped strengthen my voice and for that I am grateful that I got to be her student. I would really recommend signing up for lessons as it has helped me over the years and can help you or your child too!

I've been taking online voice and piano lessons with Janelle and it's been great so far. I've been using a tripod for the piano, and I've been learning so many fun Disney songs. I've also learned how to read notes and stay on pitch, I really enjoy the lessons and I recommend her to anyone who wants to learn voice or piano!

Janelle has been a great piano instructor. I learned to play notes and chords at the same time. She has improved my vocal quality while displaying great patience and persistence with my progress. I highly recommend her.

I have just started taking voice lessons two months ago and I can honestly say Janelle is the perfect teacher and accommodates your needs for success. For example, she would sing soft and light for me because I could not go loud without going flat on the notes. In the end, Janelle is the perfect voice teacher along with her honesty and kindness to help you to either get the role you want!

For the past year I’ve been taking combined voice training and piano lessons by Janelle. Coming to the process as an adult with kids, requires a unique approach and she was able to tailor the lesson to my specific needs and skills as well as my learning style. I enjoyed the weekly lessons which broadened my horizons. Not only did I learn new musical skills but she incorporated technique, theory, and musical background to add more depth and scope to the class.

My daughter was very shy when she started to take piano and voice lessons with Janelle. Over the past couple of years her confidence and music skills have grown tremendously under Janelle's patient teaching. Janelle is a great teacher and is always kind and willing to walk through the basics as well as work through advanced skills. I recommend her without hesitation.

Miss Janelle has really helped me to improve my piano skills. Since working with her I have moved up in my piano levels. My technique has improved and I have learned to memorize some really fun and fast songs. One thing I never knew was to sing and play piano at same time in front of people. She really focuses on the techniques of things and she teaches you how the voice actually works. I would definitely recommend her.

For as long as I can remember, I loved playing the piano and singing. I have never met a teacher who’s classes are informative and fun at the same time. I am now much more skilled and my technique is outstanding. Thank you Janelle!

My 13 and 9 year old daughters have been taking piano lessons with Miss Janelle for over five years. They began with the Faber Piano Adventures series which included a multitude of fun pieces, performance selections, as well as, holiday songs. My girls quickly progressed to more advanced arrangements under her tutelage. In addition, my older daughter is playing a collection of challenging, classical pieces, including Moonlight Sonata. Miss Janelle is professional, punctual, caring and patient. She is a pleasure work with and my children love learning from her. For all of these reasons we have valued our relationship with her for over five years and my girls have excelled in their piano skills. I would highly recommend Miss Janelle to anyone looking for piano lessons for their child.

My sister and I have been taking lessons with Janelle for over 3 years. With struggling to find the right piano teacher for years, we finally found a fit for our specific needs. I wouldn't even sing in front of my parents before meeting Janelle. I now play and sing at the same time in front of many audiences including her annual recitals. She is fun and friendly and makes each lesson a week enjoyable.

I have been taking lessons from her for 3+ years. Janelle has a creative approach to teaching me piano. She does not have a cookie cutter approach. She has a lesson plan that keeps me motivated. We learn to play songs I enjoy ranging anywhere from pop radio hits to Broadway. She never has to remind me to practice because I enjoy practicing daily! I am very pleased with her lessons and my progress!

My daughter Savannah loves taking pop vocal and piano lessons with Janelle. Her goal was to sing and play piano at the same time. Janelle taught her pop chords so that she could accompany herself while singing. She also taught her proper singing techniques including breathing and vocal exercises. Janelle makes the lessons fun and my daughter feels comfortable around her. She is also patient and knows when to slow down and fix trouble spots. I am impressed with my daughter's progress.

Janelle is an excellent vocal instructor and she has been working with me for over a year. Janelle has helped me progress tremendously with power, control of my voice and now I am able to sing songs that I have always wanted to sing correctly such as "You're My Everything" my Santa Esmerelda. I can now sing this song with confidence and am no longer worried of my voice breaking at the high point. I was actually singing the song one octave higher than the original key and I am still doing it well!

Ever since my lessons with Janelle i'm happy to say my voice has gotten a lot better. Throughout my Voice lessons she has taught me proper breathing that has lead to a whole new style of singing.I have joined my churches choir and have enjoyed singing and traveling. Don't think i would have made it here if it wasn't for the Voice Lessons :)

So my nephew has had a passion for playing musical instruments and just started playing piano and i thought i would get him a few lessons with Janelle for his birthday.After a few lessons i immediately saw a huge change in his finger work and what used to be difficult songs to play he eases on through them.Finamore Voice and Piano Lessons has taught my little nephew not only how to play better but also taught him how to have patience when learning new music. Thanks!
