In the last decade, singing pedagogy has fragmented. Weekend certifications. Licensed methodologies sold by the manual. Tips and tricks on TikTok. Teachers around the world write to us with the same question, phrased a hundred different ways:

Why can I diagnose one student perfectly and the next one not at all? Why do my results feel inconsistent, even when I'm doing everything I was taught? Why does my knowledge dissolve under the pressure of a real lesson?

The answer is not another method. The answer is formation — the kind of long, lineage-based training that classical pianists, conductors, and elite athletes have always received. Hours of study with the people who carry the tradition. Years of integration. Real questions answered in real time.

The Profty Singing Teacher Development Program is built to restore that model for the modern singing teacher.

The Line of Direct Knowledge Transfer

In 1991, the legendary voice teacher Seth Riggs — creator of Speech Level Singing and the teacher behind Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Prince, and Barbra Streisand — personally selected Greg Enriquez as his Associate. Greg went on to study with Riggs for more than thirty years as one of roughly a dozen Master Teachers in his inner circle, accumulating over 600 hours of one-to-one instruction and serving on the team that oversaw teacher certification worldwide. He is, in the most literal sense, a direct heir to that lineage.

His own students include Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Solange, and Keala Settle, alongside a long line of touring and recording artists who depend on their instrument night after night. His reputation rests on a single, rare ability: to hear precisely what a voice is doing, name the imbalance behind it, and give the exact correction that frees the sound. At that level there is no room for guesswork, and it is this standard of certainty that he brings to the teachers he trains.

At Profty, Greg carries the first pillar of the program: vocal technique. He teaches the next generation of teachers to diagnose quickly, build technical strategy for every voice type, and lead a lesson with the confidence that comes only from truly understanding the instrument.

Rhonda Carlson has spent more than forty years teaching music and theatre, and in that time she has worked on stages and in studios across Los Angeles, Beijing, Moscow and add other cities. Her career bridges two worlds that most teachers never connect: the technical discipline of singing and the live, human craft of performance. She teaches singers not only to produce sound correctly, but to mean something when they open their mouths.

Her students have gone on to appear on Broadway and the West End, and to compete onThe Voice and American Idol. They share a common quality that audiences feel before they can explain it: presence. Rhonda's work is the study of how that presence is built, lesson by lesson, until expression becomes second nature.

At Profty, Rhonda carries the second pillar: performance and emotional expression. She trains teachers to take a student from correct singing into compelling artistry, integrating intention, emotion, and storytelling without ever sacrificing vocal control.

For twenty years, Justin Levy has worked alongside international artists across the full range of contemporary music, from Kelly Clarkson to Justin Timberlake. His domain is the one most teachers find hardest to teach: style. Knowing how to move a voice convincingly between genres, how to make stylistic choices that serve both the song and the singer, and how to do all of it without ever endangering the instrument.

His authority here is not theoretical. Justin has sung gospel in his church every Sunday of his life, inside the very tradition that shaped the phrasing, the runs, and the emotional vocabulary of modern American singing. That lived, weekly practice is the source of a stylistic fluency that cannot be learned from transcriptions or video alone.

At Profty, Justin carries the third pillar: style and musicality. He trains teachers to cross contemporary, and gospel-rooted styles with confidence, and to help their own students build a genuine artistic identity while keeping the voice healthy and free.

A three-year professional formation, designed for sustainable mastery rather than rapid credentialing. Each year deepens the work of the one before it.

Profty stands on a dialogue between three sources of authority: time-tested bridge-based vocal traditions transmitted by lineage, modern vocal science validated by our partnered research universities, and the real-world demands of an industry our Master teachers have served for decades.

Our research partners contribute new studies in neuroscience and vocal science to the curriculum each year.

The result is a program where teachers do not only know what to teach. They understand why it works, and they know how to apply it to any voice in any lesson.

What graduates report

The program does not require a specific degree or certification; it requires genuine readiness for a demanding three-year formation. The following describes the foundation we expect every applicant to bring.

A three-year professional formation, guided live by three Master teachers in small, selective cohorts. Tuition reflects the depth of that instruction and the seniority of the teachers who lead every session.

Annual tuition: $4,950 per year
Or, twelve monthly installments of: $445
Three-Year Paid in Full: $13,500 (saves $1,350)

Payable by card or bank transfer, before the start of each academic year. The monthly plan and the paid-in-full option are simply ways to time the same commitment — every graduate completes the same program and earns the same certification.

This cohort's rate. Tuition for the 2027 cohort is fixed at the figures above. As the program's reputation and graduate results grow, tuition for future cohorts can be rised. Joining now secures this rate for the full three years of your formation.

Enrollment for the 2027 cohort closes: February 15, 2027

What your tuition includes: all live sessions with the three Master teachers across three years, full access to the Profty community-learning platform, recorded replays of every session, applied coaching on your own students, and graduation into the Profty Certified Teacher network.
