“I was a voice student of Alena Taylor for about a year beginning in 2008 when she worked at Page Music. I just wanted to say what a wonderful and inspiring teacher she was. I enjoyed every lesson she gave me. There was never a class when she was not upbeat, even if there were times when she wasn't feeling up to par or had a long day at work. She was always very mindful of my needs and knew her stuff; I learned so much from her.
Although I may have missed a few of my lessons due to my own forgetfulness, she never missed or was tardy, and I was very appreciative of the extra time she took to either record a practice accompaniment for me to work with or transpose music outside of the lesson. Alena went above and beyond in my book. I hope you find her to be just as enjoyable and hard working as I did!”

“Alena Taylor is an exceptional voice coach! I was afraid to even entertain the thought of taking voice lessons in the beginning, but my fears were quelled when I began my lessons with Alena. She was so patient and understanding. She is wonderful at getting to know you as a person and finding out what kind of a singer you desire to be. Then she tailors her lesson plans accordingly, using every tactic to work with you. She always created her lessons to be fun, friendly learning environment. She also did her best to continue pushing your skills and capabilities, which in turn helped you to gain your confidence and strive for more than you even hoped for. Look no further, she is truly the best vocal coach in the city of Boston!”
