Teresa Nocita is a dynamic and highly skilled vocal coach who is beloved by her many students across the world. In fact, they often become her friends. That’s because of the genuine care she shows to each of them, and also because of her proprietary teaching method, the Vocal Compass®, which transforms their singing almost immediately. As Teresa says, “That’s when the body is relaxed and in balance, so the magic is inevitable!”

Teresa has been coaching developing vocal artists globally since the 1990s and is an accomplished musician and member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS). She studied voice technique and musicianship at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, and under the instruction of several notable Canadian and international vocal coaches.

A respected professional in the music industry, Teresa has sat on panels alongside Grammy-award-winning producers and large label management, producing vocals for many emerging artists.  She has also owned Studio E Music and Arts for 14 years and has over twenty employees. 

Teresa is a talented vocalist in her own right, with a unique and powerful sound. She started singing with a band at the age of thirteen, performed professionally throughout North America and Europe, and currently entertains audiences across Ontario as the lead vocalist of the funk and soul band, Velvet Soul.

As if all of that weren’t enough to keep her busy, Teresa’s deep love of wellness and health led her to become a yoga instructor, to study Buteyko breathing, Ho’oponopono and to receive her Master Level in Reiki. Teresa is learning everyday as she now studies to live an Ayurvedic life and expand all of her intuitive and clairvoyant gifts. She lives just outside Toronto, with her spouse, Jason and daughters Ariana, Sofia, and Chiara. The Vocal Compass® 2.0  is Teresa Nocita’s 3rd published book.
