Specializing in Bel Canto vocal technique, JSB Voice provides vocal instruction in all styles. Through the use of appoggio breathing and la lotta vocale, students learn to manage their breath efficiently. This preserves the voice as it grows over time. Vocal exercises and the building of appropriate repertoire are two chief ways to implement these healthy breathing techniques and result in improved tone, color, dynamics, phrasing and diction.
Here at JSB Voice Inc, it is our philosophy to nurture that which makes us individuals, and by doing so, free the student to explore and find their own voice. The Human Voice is an intensely personal aspect of each of us, respectively. The term "finding your voice" has a great many connotations. It often implies obtaining a sense of self, an opinion all one's own, and the ability to express all that this encompasses. Why do we sing? We have something to say, to share. It is not just the sound we make, but who we are at the deepest levels that enables us to create and give in the art of singing.

Jessica Stolte Bender is the real deal. She is the only teacher I send my chorus students to if they are serious about learning how to sing properly; no one else. Ms. Bender is very knowledgeable about the mechanics of the voice, repertoire, foreign language diction, and performing skills - all the things that a good voice teacher needs to know. One cannot find a more supportive teacher than Jessica - always there for her students ensuring their success in every audition and competition. Lastly, she sings beautifully! Jessica is a true gift to so many!

Our daughter had always been singing, her musical abilities growing rapidly through the years. She had moved from one program to another, both in school and extracurricular ones, quickly exhausting the group and teacher’s ability. For several years, we felt frustrated that our daughter was not getting the level of vocal instruction she needed. So we were delighted to have found Jessica. Under Ms. Bender’s instruction, our daughter’s abilities improved all the time. Jessica knew just when and how much to push a young vocalist. Jessica’s real-world experience and calm yet professional instruction was instrumental in helping our daughter win singing awards; compose, perform, and publish an original CD; and prepare for a career that will include music.

Jessica Stolte Bender had been the voice teacher for my girls for 6 years, and my youngest for 10. Her technique and dedication has elevated my girls voices to another level. She not only pushes them to be the best they can be but takes the time to have a relationship with them to get to know them and their capabilities. They have performed in various recitals singing in Italian, German and French as well as numbers from various Broadway Musicals. They never imagined they would be able to sing and perform the way they do. She prepared my youngest daughter for NYSSMA and she obtained a 27 out of 28 in spring 2017. Through this process Ms. Bender had been there for her; encouraging her and rehearsing with her up until that date. This makes my daughter feel confidante in her performances. Now that they are grown, both my daughters attended performance colleges; my youngest is now at Berkeley College of Music in Boston and is thriving. I cannot thank Jessica enough for all she has done for my girls.

I am a professional working as a head administrator in a top, nationally recognized college-level music department. Our department includes vocal faculty that teaches vocal instruction at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and runs after school programs for K-12 students. As such, I have worked with many musicians and teachers over the years. Jessica Stolte Bender is an excellent vocal teacher. She is a true professional with vast experience. Working with young performers who are often at critical stages of their development, Jessica knows just the right things to say and do, to help those growing young adults recognize their own talents, believe in themselves, and push them “just enough” to get better and better over time. I have seen young performers work with Ms. Bender and attended many of her recitals; it was remarkable to notice how these performers improved so drastically in just six months, and were at a whole different level of professionalism just a couple of years later. Jessica’s instruction and friendship has helped many of those students win awards, receive top scores in NYSSMA competitions, and get admission to top performance departments in colleges nationwide. I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica to any parent wishing to give their child the best possible vocal instruction.

I studied voice with Jessica for the past few years during my high school years, and I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be the musician I am now without her. She helped my voice improve dramatically in the time I spent with her, and with her help I was able to get two perfect scores at NYSSMA and eventually go to All State. She also helped me hone my original music and composition skills side-by-side with the actual vocal training I was receiving. To top it off, she’s a wonderful person with an amazing family and the most welcoming personality. A lot of my previous voice teachers made me feel like I wasn’t doing good enough, but Jessica instead motivated me to get better and push my limits. I still remain in contact with her, and to this day she is still a loving teacher and friend.
