Meet some of our academy students:
Fiona
In my past experiences of singing teachers, I didn’t experience the encouraging, digging-deep approach that Zoe has.
Apart from our regular classes we are offered helpful resources and are given advice to use certain apps such as nail the pitch, sheet music direct and on the vocal academy platform there are countless warm ups and technical exercises, masterclasses and blog-posts that can be a big support when you are practicing on your own.
All in all Zoe is a very knowledgeable, encouraging and honest teacher. I have learned a lot from Zoe and I believe there is a lot more to learn from her!
You can Find Fiona on her YouTube channel

We worked on her high notes for this song (it is hard!)
Muriel
Learning vocal styles, anatomy, and how everything works together has been so important for me. I’m discovering who I am as a vocalist and creating sounds I never thought I could make.
One of the best feelings is performing authentically—expressing emotion and personality through the words I sing. Working with Zoe has truly transformed my voice and my confidence as a singer.
Check out Muriel Performing:
We worked on her belt in this song. How to sing loud withour pressing.
Vanessa
Zoe is a fantastic teacher – thanks to her I’ve finally managed to sing with less pressure and effort and discover a whole new lightness.
Thank you, Zoe! 🙌🏻

We worked on getting more power in her high belt.
Nessie
She made such fabulous progress, she went from being nervous to sinigng in front of me, to releasing her covers on her YouTube channel.
I am so proud of her hard work and determination, I wish her all the best.

We worked on Nessie’s pitching, and change chest to head voice.
Juleen
Zoe has an exercise for everything and if you just put in the work, like what I did you will see results super quickly.
What I love about her lessons that she has so many tips that no one else before her has told me.
I’ve worked with different teachers and coaches before and the things that she says are just so um actionable and different from what everybody else says, but I feel these are the things that really help me.
I can highly recommend working with her and just get a different perspective on things and just have fun.

Sara
My daughter, Sara (11), takes online singing lessons from Zoe since almost a year now, and she is flying high with her dreams to become a pop star one day.
Sara is the happiest when it’s time to sing and learn new songs with Zoe.
You rock, Zoe! And above all, you are one of the most amazing and kind humans we’ve ever come across.
Thank you for being you! We’re so inspired and in awe! Much love, Divya and Sara

We worked on her timing and stage presence. Sara wants to be the next Taylor Swift. Let’s get here there!
Jodie
I trust Zoe entirely with her guidance about my singing and she makes everything very easy to follow and is a fantastic teacher.
I can’t wait to keep working with her on my singing online and develop my voice further. I would highly recommend her as a vocal coach and if you’re thinking about taking up singing sessions DO IT!
Book immediately with Zoe 🙂

Simone
I’ve been taking lessons with Zoe for several years and have learned a tremendous amount since then. The lessons are relaxed, and you always practice new techniques directly on real songs, which is very motivating, especially at the beginning, because you quickly notice your progress.
Zoe also puts a lot of effort into providing us with practice materials, including YouTube videos and the academy platform.
Check out Simone
Performing:
We worked on her chest voice and sounding fuller over her passagio in this song.
Katja
Zoe is simply a wonderful person. I sang a lot as a child and teenager (choir, school band). When I was an adult, someone close to me made a negative comment about my voice, and for a long time, I lost confidence in it.
I only sang for myself.
Zoe taught me to trust my voice again, and through targeted exercises and practicing difficult passages.
Zoe, from the bottom of my heart: thank you 🫶.
Check out Katja
Performing:
We worked on stage confidence for this performance. Katja did a great job, singing in front of such a big crowd!
Feedback from our academy students.
Kia Ora! I'm Zoe, your Vocal Coach
BMus, MA, EMT
- 18 years experence as a vocal coach (it paid better than waitressing)
- 18 years as a pro singer (I starred in my first pro show at 16 years old)
- I suffered from stage fright and performance anxiety. Now I coach singers to overcome it like I did.
- Had vocal surgery in 2017 and re-learned how to sing again. This time properly, using my step by step methodology and Estill Voice Training.
- Trained classically, performed and got an MA in musical theatre, and now I work as a pop & rock singer. I can show anyone how to anything with their voice.
- I know you can learn to sing, someone just didn't explain it to you in a way that worked for your voice. That is what I am here to do for you. I got you.
Posted on Fiona SethiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hello:) I started singing lessons with Zoe because I wanted to grow and strengthen singing skills, range, agility and feel connected to music and after approximately 3 years of lessons and great concerts I can see that Zoe has taught me a lot! In my past experiences of singing teachers, I didn’t experience the encouraging, digging-deep approach that Zoe has. In our lessons we try to take every challenge step by step. For instance, if there is a section of a song that is not in the correct pitch - we slow down and do an exercise that helps me get better at that specific part of the song - and we try again. And this is one of the many important lessons I have learned from her: being patient and practicing details makes a huge difference. Apart from our regular classes we are offered helpful resources and are given advice to use certain apps such as nail the pitch, sheet music direct and on the vocal academy platform there are countless warm ups and technical exercises, masterclasses and blog-posts that can be a big support when you are practicing on your own. All in all Zoe is a very knowledgeable, encouraging and honest teacher. I have learned a lot from Zoe and I believe there is a lot more to learn from her! -Fiona

Wow thank you so much Fiona! That is so fabulous to hear how you have grown as a singer. You have made such great strides with your singing and I am really looking forward to another great year of working together. Your performances have become so strong, it has been an honour to help you develop as a singer and as an artist.Posted on Jenean RawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve always wanted to sing from an early age, even though I didn’t grow up in a musical household. In my 20s and 30s, I loved karaoke and even took voice lessons for six years, but I could never quite get my pitch. Now, I take one-on-one lessons with Zoe twice a month, attend master classes every other Monday, and study with Holly—one of Zoe’s amazing teachers—every other Sunday. The Vocal Academy is an incredible community with inspiring on-demand classes and students from all walks of life. We all share a common goal and truly support one another. For the first time, I feel completely comfortable exploring my voice without judgment. We’re all at different points in our vocal journeys, and being able to connect with other students has helped me learn and grow so much. Looking back, I’m proud of how far I’ve come—improving my pitch, understanding vocal registers, and learning to move through them with confidence. Learning vocal styles, anatomy, and how everything works together has been so important for me. I’m discovering who I am as a vocalist and creating sounds I never thought I could make. One of the best feelings is performing authentically—expressing emotion and personality through the words I sing. Working with Zoe has truly transformed my voice and my confidence as a singer.

Jenean! Wow that is so amazing to hear that you have gained so much confidence in your singing since we started working together. Go you!!! I am so proud of what you have achieved. Let's keep on working on it !!!Posted on Muriel GarberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zoe ist eine wunderbare Gesangslehrerin. Ich bin nun seit mehr als 5 Jahren bei Zoe und meine Stimme hat sich in vieler Hinsicht verbessert. Aber Zoe ist nicht nur super einem die besten Übungen und Leitfäden in die Hand zu drücken, die deine Stimme verbessern, sondern sie weiß auch genau wie sie dir helfen kein dein Selbstbewusst sein für einen Auftritt zu stärken, dass schätze ich besonders an ihr. Meine Stimme ist durch den Unterricht bei Zoe viel stabiler und facettenreicher geworden. Danke dafür Zoe!
Owner's reply
Muriel I am so happy that you have found more stability in your voice. Wow thank you so much for such lovely feedback. I am so proud of everything you have achieved, from meeting you at the jam session 5 years ago to today, it is a different woman that I see on stage. Let's keep up the awesome work!!! (But I told you this all in person as well anyway ; )Posted on Taylor ReneauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zoe has been such an incredible vocal coach. I've been working with her for the last 5 months, and there is a noticeable difference in how my voice sounds now from when I started with her. Before, I didn't really know how to get my voice to sound "sing-songy", but she taught me all about thyroid tilt and made sure I was doing it correctly, and now I'm able to do it on command. I think what I like most about her course is how well structured it is, especially for someone who's never sung before. She has masterclasses, group sessions, one-on-ones, AND online videos--which is SO much more information and help than you normally get with other vocal coaches. Not to mention, she is super encouraging, so even if you're scared about singing in front of someone new (I was), she makes it a really safe environment to learn.

WOW! So happy for you that you notice a difference! Taylor thank you so much for taking the time to write such great feedback for others about the academy. It has been a pleasure to help you find that more sung part of your voice, and I am so happy that we connected again to work on your singing. I am really looking forward to the next chapter of getting that voice in even better shape! yay!Posted on Petra Tonsky-KatzerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zoe Stibi als Gesangslehrerin war DER Glücksgriff für unsere Tochter! Sie ist jetzt 11 Jahre alt und hat schon immer gern gesungen. Im Lockdown waren wir dann auf der Suche nach Online-Gesangsunterricht und sind so zu Zoe gekommen. Gerade vor dem Hintergrund, dass Online-Unterricht den Kindern in der Schule kaum etwas gebracht hat, hat Zoe ab der ersten Minute ein Motivations-Feuerwerk abgefeiert! Seit vier Jahren sind wir jetzt bei ihr und sie sieht die Talente ihrer Schüler und entfaltet sie. Das begann dann schon mit dem ersten Online-Konzert mit ihren ganzen Schülern von zuhause am Rechner. Im Live -Unterricht ist sie dann mit unserer Tochter richtig durchgestartet. Bis heute veranstaltet Zoe zwei Konzerte pro Jahr und wir lieben die Atmosphäre und freuen uns darüber, was unsere Tochter alles gelernt hat. Auch macht sie viele Videos und Recordings, über die wir uns wahnsinnig freuen. 5 Sterne sind noch zu wenig!Posted on XandanaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe seit einigen Jahren bei Zoe Unterricht und habe seitdem wahnsinnig viel gelernt. Der Unterricht ist ungezwungen und man übt neue Techniken immer direkt an richtigen Songs, was gerade am Anfang sehr motivierend ist, weil man seine Fortschritte schnell bemerkt. Zoe gibt sich außerdem sehr viel Mühe, uns Übungsmaterial bereitzustellen, unter anderem YouTube Videos und ein Online Portal. Dabei scheut sie auch keine Mühe, neue Dinge auszuprobieren. Am besten finde ich aber, dass sie regelmäßig Live-Konzerte für alle Schüler organisiert. Im Unterricht wird intensiv auf den Auftritt hingearbeitet und man geht dabei auch richtig ins Detail, dass am Ende jeder Ton sitzt. Es macht richtig Spaß, weiter so! ☺️

Danke dir liebe Simone! Es macht immer viel spaß mit dir zu singen! Es ist natürlich viel einfacher für mich als Lehrerin wenn jemand so motivert ist wie du! Freut mich wieder auf unser Konzert morgen.Posted on Karen MühlbergerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Meine 7-jährige Tochter nimmt seit über einem Jahr Gesangsunterricht bei Zoe und wir können nicht glücklicher über diese Entscheidung sein. Zoe ist eine unglaublich talentierte und motivierende Lehrerin, die es versteht, Kinder zu begeistern und ihre Liebe zu Musik zu entfachen/ stärken. Von Anfang an hat Zoe einen herzlichen Umgang mit meiner Tochter gepflegt. Sie nimmt sich stets Zeit, auf Ihre Bedürfnisse und Wünsche einzugehen und schafft immer eine angenehme Lernatmosphäre, in der sich meiner Tochter sicher und geborgen fühlt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass der Spaß zu jederzeit Zeit eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Sie gestaltet die Stunden so abwechslungsreich und lebendig, dass meine Tochter jede Woche aufs Neue mit Freude und Begeisterung zum Gesangsunterricht geht. Zoe integriert spielerische Elemente und kreative Überrunden, die nicht nur das technische Können verbessern, sondern auch die Freude am Singen fördern. Dank Zoe einfühlsamer und motivierender Art hat meine Tochter bereits große Fortschritte gemacht und ihr Selbstvertrauen gestärkt. Ich bin dankbar, dass wir Zoe gefunden haben und kann sie jeder Familie, die auf der Suche nach einer liebevollen und engagierten Gesangslehrerin ist, wärmstens empfehlen.

Oh wow! Karen this is just so lovely. Thank you so much! It is always a joy for ME to teach your daughter. She gives me just as much energy back, I always love our lessons. This just made my week thank you!Posted on FioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zoe Stibi is an absolutely wonderful Vocal Coach. She is well informed on how the voice actually works. With her humble and positive nature she motivates you to get going on your vocal journey. She embraces the challenges of vocal training and helps you very efficiently to get to the core of what you as a student need at that very moment! I highly recommend her and the courses she offers.

Flo!!!! Thank you so much! It is always a pleasure to work with you and your fabulous voice. I am so happy to hear that you have been enjoying our work together, and I look forward to our next class!Posted on Manu ThurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Motivation, Spaß, Wissen, Positive Energie und Wertschätzung - das alles bringt Zoe in jeder Unterrichtsstunde mit. Bin nun seit mehr als einem Jahr bei Zoe - sie hat mir sehr geholfen beim Thema Intonation und hat mich nun dazu gebracht auch das erste Mal auf einer Bühne zu singen. Obwohl ich kein Musiker bin, keine Noten lesen kann und schon gar nicht nach Ihnen singen, arbeitet sie stetig mit mir daran ein Gefühl für die Musik zu bekommen und bereitet mich darauf vor auf einer Hochzeit zu singen. Bisher konnte ich einige meiner Ziele erreichen und freue mich darauf mit ihr an den Nächstes zu arbeiten. :)

Wow danke dir Manu! Was soll ich sagen, ich bin sprachlos. Danke dir. Es macht immer spaß mit dir zu singen und ich freue mich auch auf die nächste Zielen!Posted on Divya WadhwaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are super fortunate to have found Zoe in our lives. From curating the best birthday parties for our daughter to now being her private vocal coach! My daughter, Sara (11), takes online singing lessons from Zoe since almost a year now, and she is flying high with her dreams to become a pop star one day. Sara is the happiest when it's time to sing and learn new songs with Zoe. Never knew virtual lessons could work so well. Zoe offers the perfect combination of virtual and live, disciplined & focused yet fun. Sara's first concert performance in December (all thanks to Zoe) instilled so much confidence in her. She can't wait to sing on stage again. You rock, Zoe! And above all, you are one of the most amazing and kind humans we've ever come across. Thank you for being you! We're so inspired and in awe! Much love, Divya and Sara

What’s the difference between the Vocal Academy and the Vocal Hub?
The Vocal Hub is my free community. You get warm-ups, a challenge, and one open training per month. It’s a great place to stay inspired.
The Vocal Academy is where the real personalised training happens.
You get 1:1 lessons, guided practice groups, masterclasses, open coachings, and messaging support.
If you want real, consistent progress — the Academy is where that happens.
How do the 1:1 lessons work?
Your lessons are online via video call.
We work on your technical needs, your songs, and your goals.
You’ll leave every session with a clear plan and the exact exercises to work on between lessons.
How often do the practice groups and masterclasses run?
Masterclasses are on every Monday evening at 20:00 CET
Practice Groups alternate between Thursday’s at 21:00 CET and Sunday’s at 19:00 CET
You can join as many as you like — they’re included in your membership and all recordings are available if you miss one.
Is the Academy suitable for beginners?
Yes. Absolutely.
Beginners thrive in the Academy because everything is personalised, gentle, structured, and broken down clearly.
You don’t need experience — you just need curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Is the Academy suitable for advanced or professional singers?
Yes — the Academy is designed for beginner to advanced singers, and they thrive here because everything is broken down clearly and personalised to their voice.
Professional singers are very welcome too, especially if (like so many naturally gifted performers) you were never truly taught how to sing and feel like you’re still guessing about technique.
If you want to build solid, reliable technical foundations, the Academy will absolutely support you.
However —
professional singers have specific technical demands, roles, and vocal challenges that usually require deeper individual attention.
For that reason, if you are a working or high-level singer, you will also need to apply for 1:1 training with me (Zoe) so we can build a programme around your exact needs, repertoire, stamina, and career goals.
The masterclasses and practice groups are fantastic tools for everyone, but pros will make the fastest and safest progress with a combination of the Academy + tailored 1:1 coaching.
What if I’m shy about singing in front of others?
This is incredibly common.
The practice groups and open coachings are small, kind, and very supportive — there’s zero pressure to sing until you’re ready.
Almost every shy singer eventually gains confidence simply by being in a safe environment.
What if I’ve had lessons before and I’m still confused?
You’re not alone — this is the most common story I hear.
The Academy is built to give you the clarity you never had:
why your voice behaves the way it does, what actually works for your instrument, and how to stop guessing forever.
How much time do I need to practice each week?
To see real progress, we recommend a minimum of 20 minutes, 5 times per week.
This doesn’t mean hours of practice — it means doing the right exercises consistently, which is exactly what you’ll get inside the Academy. Our training includes accountability, structure, and clear expectations, because we want you to succeed and actually hear the results you’re working for.
The Vocal Academy isn’t designed for casual “karaoke now and then” singers.
It’s built for people who truly want to improve — and are ready to put in steady, achievable work to make that happen.
If you can commit to regular short practices, you’ll be amazed at how quickly your voice grows.
What happens if I join mid-year?
You can join the Vocal Academy at any point in the year — you don’t have to wait until March. When you join mid-year, you simply start at the right level for your current ability, and you work through the modules at your own pace.
You’ll get immediate access to:
- the live masterclasses
- the practice groups
- the open coachings
- and the full library of recorded trainings
You won’t miss anything — everything is designed so you can begin confidently at any time and still progress through the year’s training smoothly.
When you complete all 12 modules, you’ll be invited to move up to the next level, no matter when you originally joined.
Check out my vocal warm ups?
It’s where over 141.000 singers learn to sing like their favourite artists.
Partnerships I’m thankful for
