"When I first found Saul, I knew absolutely nothing about singing, other than that I knew I needed help. I had recently become the lead singer in a hard rock band, but I knew if this was to last, I had some work to do. During my first lesson, I literally could not even match a pitch. I doubt that there is anyone who could start much closer to zero than I was, but I knew I wanted to improve. My initial plan was to take lessons for maybe six months, enough time to gain a basic idea of the fundamentals of proper singing. That was over seven years ago, and now not only am I still singing rock, but also performing classical arias in recitals. I will be the first to admit that this has not been the result of some unknown, hidden talent that was lurking deep in my unconscious. Rather, with the help of Saul, I have constantly worked hard and persisted to build my voice dramatically. It has not been easy, and there is still much progress to be made, but there is no doubt that Saul has given me the knowledge to improve by leaps and bounds.

There are those who may worry that a classically-minded training won't be right for them, that it will ruin them for singing pop or rock or something else. However, I can say that I have investigated vocal training across many spectrums, and even the most extreme vocal styles employ the basic tenets that Saul is using to teach his students. The fact of the matter is that the most research has gone into classical training, and, regardless of the genre, it offers the soundest and safest way to explore the full range of one's vocal abilities.

I will not lie to you, becoming a good singer is not, for most people, an easy task. It will require a commitment of one's self. If you are not willing to work, you should probably not even waste your time, because you will not improve magically just by taking lessons. However, if you are serious about improving your singing voice, and want a knowledgeable teacher, Saul definitely has the background and approach to provide you with this opportunity."

Helped My Singing

"As a Speech-Language Pathologist, my role is to facilitate the improvement of communication skills. This role can span from treating patients with severe voice disorders to educating individuals on fundamental voice maintenance. Seeking to increase my knowledge of good vocal technique, I found a wonderful voice coach in Saul. During my time with him, he has patiently worked with me, taking into careful consideration my personal singing goals. He is incredibly knowledgeable and his love of teaching and music is readily apparent and makes learning fun. I consider myself privileged to be one of his students and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their vocal talent."

Great Teacher

I have been a vocal student of Saul Fox for about a year now. I thought I had a pretty good voice when I went to see him, but I soon realized I had not even scratched the surface of what was possible. Saul is one of the best teachers I've had in any discipline. He challenges you to work hard and go beyond what you think you are capable of doing. He is always positive and encouraging while making clear what areas need more work. Saul always knows what songs to teach you to complement your particular voice and maximize your strengths. Also, he provides opportunities to perform and develop your confidence in front of a live audience. If you have a desire to perform someday as a singer, I highly recommend you give Saul Fox a try.

Improves Even Accomplished Vocalists

"I found Saul Fox several years ago. My vocal career started as a child soloist in church, and later in the Duke University Chapel Choir. Then several decades elapsed (without time for music) before I retired and began to think of singing again. I wanted to sing "pop" songs, and was the vocalist for a local dance band for over a year. My wife and my ENT Physician thought I needed voice lessons (imagine that !). Thus, I sought vocal instruction. After being "fired" by two teachers, I stumbled upon Saul Fox. This was the luckiest day of my musical career. He was clearly the most knowledgeable, but also the most reasonable and most pleasant. He accepted the fact that I wanted to sing "pop" and did not try to force classical music on me -- but yet, suggested that classical vocal technique was valuable regardless of the type of music sung. This approach has been extremely helpful to me. And, most importantly, I have not been fired!

Mr. Fox also teaches piano for my 8 year old grandson, and has been amazing with him as well.

As a music teacher and as an individual, I would give Mr. Fox my highest recommendation. But Saul is not just a teacher. He is also a performer, with a marvelous tenor voice that is unparalleled in this part of the country."

A Hidden Talent

"After a thirty year professional / military musical career traveling the world my wife and I located to Virginia Beach, VA. A professional colleague recommended Mr. Saul Fox. Frankly I was skeptical. There are many competent teachers but very few great ones. Saul Fox is simply a great teacher. Children, amateur, semi-professional, and professional musicians in my humble opinion cannot do any better. Why travel to New York City or Los Angeles when Mr. Saul Fox is right here?"
