Ariel

I am a lyric singer living in South Florida, and have studied with Ariel Mendelson last summer intensively, and keep regular lessons with him in spite of the distance. Ariel has a deep understanding of the different aspects of the vocal technique and his approach to singing is comprehensive and holistic, which includes development of range, stamina, breathing techniques and relaxation to mention a few. A great advantage of studying with Ariel is the fact that he is a well rounded musician and singer himself, which enhances the experience of learning and working repertoire with him too...

I am a Venezuelan mezzo-soprano, living between Caracas and Miami. I had good voice teachers and not so good  voice teachers in both places, but two master classes with Ariel Mendelson in Argentina changed my singing in such a positive way that I have no doubt to recommend him as the ideal voice teacher. He helped me to recognize my own voice, the real one, in order to produce it with less effort. I could understand better the importance of a good breathing technique and a correct choice of the repertoire. He is a complete musician and an excellent human being, and he really knows how to work your vocal issues, combining mind and soul, which I think is essencial for our art.

I want to inform about Professor Ariel Mendelson...he has a great professionalism, wisdom and experience. All of this made me grow and to have a great development as a singer. His capabilities and knowledge are not only applied to the "singing voice" but to the "spoken voice" and "oratory." He also helps his students very much to develop their own vocal identity and to find the adequate repertory for each singer. The specific combination of different physical, sociological, pedagogical, and musical disciplines makes the students be in touch deeply with themselves, and therefore quickly discover their own voice and incorporate easily the "vocal technique."

The best therapy!
With Ariel, you really enjoy every class. It's a very peculiar experience...We used to start the class with a relaxation exercise in order to go away from the daily madness, and to attend body and spirit. After that, he proposed different vocalization exercises to "warm up" the voice and, at the end of the class, we applied all the work to a song...
Really the best therapy for body and spirit!

In my years of studying Vocal Technique with Maestro Ariel Mendelson my personal and professional growth has been excellent. At times it was unexpected too. I was deeply disillusioned after many years trying with different teachers without solving my technical problems with my voice.

In two years and a half, my vocal performance changed completely. I used to sing with great effort and I couldn't sing high notes, then I sang as a baritone, being a high tenor. After that time I reached a very easy and effortlessly emition and my voice grew up in such a way that I could be able to take an unknown repertoire, I could sing many Tenor Opera Arias and sing them with great pleasure. Ariel is a very complete person, he not only looks for vocal advances but he also takes care about emotional and psychological problems, looking for spiritual well-being and vocal improvement. He is an excellent pianist also, and this allowed me to work both in Jewish Liturgical repertoire and Opera.

This is in reference about Mr.Ariel Mendelson as a person and as a Singing Teacher:
He is an excelent person always trying to do his best for his family, friends and students, addressing also his student's emotional difficulties, giving to them Relaxation Techniques to enhance their vocal conditions.
As a Voice Teacher he has a strong knowledge about vocal anatomic, physiological, and emotional human's elements that allows him to guide not only advanced, but also beginner students, to discover ways to open their voice, to transmit their potentials and inner energy.
I have had the privilege of being one of his students.

I was thrilled to work with Prof. Mendelson. Our internet sessions broke the distance barrier and allowed me to stay focused on my progress.
