Broadway-Trained Voice Teacher Specializing in Acting Through Song in Both Modern & Classic Show Styles.

Mr. Mello was an incredible teacher and mentor during my school-age years at the Heart to Heart Conservatory and theatre camp. Through voice lessons and acting instruction, he helped me develop both my singing abilities and theatrical skills.

His professionalism, talent, and genuine passion for the arts made such a lasting impact on me. He created an environment that was both encouraging and inspiring, allowing me to grow as a performer.

He’s great! He gives feedback and lets you explore new songs that you’ve never heard of before

He is very calm and helpful and i feel comfortable and confident when singing and he gives me good corrections to enhance my voice

Working with Jeffrey not only improved my vocal skills, but also helped me gain the confidence to use my voice. In just three lessons, I learned how to sing while switching between my lower and higher registers and quickly gained the confidence to perform the songs I needed to sing. I really appreciated how quickly Jeffrey was able to identify the parts of each song that I needed to work on, and he knew exactly what I needed to adjust to sing them well. Overall, I had an amazing experience!

I'm not going to lie I was a bit nervous, but Jeff was so down to earth and funnyq. Even more, after only singing half of a song he was able to provide a detailed plan on what I needed to work on. What my strengths were and what I needed to do in order to improve everything else. I learned more about story telling and ways to connect in my first lesson than I had after a year with my old coach. Although I had to pause lessons (college) I'll definitely return for the summer.

It has been absolutely wonderful time. As a male voice navigating my own voice change throughout my teenage years, having a male teacher has been absolutely essential to figuring out my own vocal chords. I feel much more relaxed when I sing, and have been able to belt higher notes much more comfortably since I have started working with Jeff.

He’s helped me so much with my role as Troy Bolton in my schools musical, High School Musical. He is super flexible with his schedule and has been able to adapt to last minute changes- just what I need! He’s also helped me expand my vocal range which I am very thankful for. Great singing coach!

Jeff is a wonderful coach and person! Completely personable and incredibly encouraging when you doubt your own abilities. He’s accommodating to scheduling conflicts and patient if you hit a tough spot musically.

He is an excellent voice teacher who is incredibly fun to work with while still continuously helping his students to grow and improve their craft—a balance that is hard to get right yet he does it effortlessly. In a few short lessons he has corrected errors and helped me with both acting and singing technique and caught mistakes no teacher has caught before him. When teaching he is incredibly vigilant and thorough while maintaining his kindness and silliness which creates a safe environment for his students to grow. I would highly recommend him as a music teacher!

Very noticeable improvement and great coaching! Individualized, attentive, and very to the point as well. Working with Jeffrey is a pleasure and it is always a blast!

Jeff was so kind and attentive to my needs. He worked hard to make a detailed plan for my lessons to help me achieve my goals!

Jeff has been an excellent vocal coach for my daughter. She has gained confidence, improved her strength and overall performance. She has also learned a lot about her voice and how to push outside her comfort zone with Jeff’s guidance. Highly recommend!

So kind and so so helpful! He's really helped with proper vocal technique and I feel more confident and have felt that I've improved very quickly, which could only be a testament to how great of a teacher he is!

Jeffrey is an experienced teacher with the tools to help his students advance their abilities and the emotional sophistication to create an environment in which others will thrive. Jeffrey and I worked together at the beginning of our careers. Then and now we are both believe in sharing the transformative power of musical theater with aspiring artists and giving them practical skills to achieve their goals.

Jeffrey is a constant professional. He understands the voice as an instrument and knows how to guide you to your optimal potential. He is encouraging and supportive. The best!

I worked with Jeffrey on a musical review he produced in New York.

Working with Jeff was a total pleasure. He brings humor and positivity and has a great voice with good pop piano skills as well.

I’d recommend working with Jeff for private lessons and believe he’d also be a good group setting director/teacher.

Jeff has such an amazing ability to bring out the best in performers! He directed me in a musical review, “Heart & Music,” and it became one of my favorite performances. He helped me improve the vocals and brought out the layered storytelling of the song. Highly recommend working with him!
