About Mia
Excellent vocal technique gives the artist freedom to sing in a healthy way in any style of music, for life. The most important part of this is learning how to breath in a way that supports the voice, which affects pitch, phrasing, tension and every other aspect of singing well. Other important aspects are mouth position, interpretation, diction, posture, pronunciation and music theory skills. I take the singer where they are now, whether a brand new student of singing or someone with many years of experience, and apply the technique to one's training.
I particularly love working on musical theatre and classical repertoire, but I am happy to work on any style of music. The technique remains the same. It has been very rewarding to see my students win conservatory scholarships. It is fun and interesting work to help prepare students for auditions including rep selection, mock auditions, preparing applications and videos. I have a network of other professionals who can prepare a student's monologue or create a dance combination as well.
My kids’ friends were looking for lessons, and I decided to give it a try. This was almost 20 years ago, and I discovered that I really loved teaching, in addition to performing and directing.
I have over 15 years of teaching experience, sang professionally for over 20, have served as Music Director for multiple children’s musicals and evaluate singers on a regular basis as General Director of Opera Theatre of Montclair.

Mia is absolutely amazing and so incredibly wonderful to work with. She is patient and cares about all her students. Best voice coach I've ever worked with :)
Montclair Voice Studio Distance distinguishes itself from other studios in providing a most optimal and holistic learning environment. Each student is fully assessed and given the tools to identify and correct “weaknesses”, build upon strengths and cultivate ones’ scholarship all while encouraging one to connect with the best opportunities for one’s own artistic/recreational/professional development. I truly cannot say enough about what a wonderful and RARE gem and model is found here. They see you at your best potential here and you leave the studio reaching that potential! Isn’t that the point of learning?!!!
Working with Montclair Voice Studio carefully and warmly helped shape my career as a healthy, young vocalist. I was fortunate enough to work with Mia starting when I was 11. She taught me the fundamentals of how to support and take care of my voice. Not only do I love and value Montclair Voice Studio for what I learned, but I do for the incredibly warm and comfortable environment that I was taught in. Mia made me truly feel at home and cared for. Montclair Voice Studio was an incredible place to study voice, and I highly recommend it to others.
Mia is an expert, and she's fun too.
My daughter has been working with Mia for a couple of years now, and still thoroughly enjoys the sessions. Mia is a true professional, and keeps her training fresh and fun. Mia even keeps a close eye on the student’s vocal health. We feel really lucky to work with Mia.
Mia Norrie is an expert professional vocalist. As a teacher she imparts her knowledge of singing in a fun and challenging method. She encourages her students to physically strengthen their vocal chords while developing their personal style of singing. I personally benefited from learning how to control my breath, strengthen my vocal cords and effectively cured a scratchy voice due to throat nodules. I really enjoy her positive upbeat method of teaching while learning how to best sing my favorite songs.
Mia makes you work but we have fun at the same time. She is Open minded and respects all genre
Mia Riker is an outstanding teacher. She is skilled and knowledgeable. Not only is she an exceptional voice instructor, but is also an amazing person.
My daughter has been taking lessons from Mia for a few years now and she has had incredible progress. Her lessons are effective, fun, and full of insight. She has made my daughter reach ranges in her voice she didn’t know she could reach, making it seem almost effortless. Mia has truly inspired my daughter to believe there are no limits in what she can achieve.
Mia encompasses all the qualities of an excellent teacher -- knowledgable and experienced, patient, a true talent in her own right, adaptable, and focused -- while also being a genuinely kind and approachable person. Her dedication to her craft and her students is tangible, and she not only helped prepare me for an excellent undergraduate program in voice, but she has continued to support and foster my artistic growth since leaving her studio. I learned so much from working with Mia and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
