I have seen Marlene sing and entertain over many years. She is the consummate professional and loves to get the audience engaged! Wherever she sings, she packs the place. We also had her teach our son, who came a long way in a very short time. I can't recommend her highly enough!

My daughter decided to join the local performing arts group and wanted singing lessons. Another parent recommended Marlene Arden. We already knew who she was because we have seen Marlene perform locally. She is an amazing singer so it wasn't even a consideration, we wanted her! As an overprotective parent, I'm always concerned who my child spends time with. Marlene is also a great person and I trust her completely. She is always prompt, professional, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Marlene.

I took singing lessons with Marlene for quite a while as a kid and I loved every minute of it! I used to do musicals and loved to sing and she really helped me to get a better understanding of the music and how to properly perform it as well. I no longer pursue singing but to this day I still hum the warmups here and there (and I still have all the music sheets!). Marlene is very patient and being a very shy singer I loved how comfortable I always felt around her. For anyone looking for voice/singing lessons, I highly recommend going to Marlene Arden. She is a lovely and insanely friendly woman with amazing talents and a large knowledge on the subjects she teaches. She helped me to find my voice and I know she can help find yours too.

Marlene is an amazing voice teacher who fostered my daughter’s growth into a talented and confident vocalist and performer. Marlene’s kindness and genuine enthusiasm for the success of others inspired my daughter to work diligently to achieve her singing goals. Through Marlene’s skilled instruction, my daughter advanced from a girl who liked to sing to a musical theater kid who has enjoyed successes including supporting and leading roles. I can wholeheartedly recommend Marlene to anyone looking for a talented, kind and trustworthy voice teacher!
Christa McCabe
Marlene has been our daughter's voice teacher for more than two years. We have seen so much growth in this time - especially in our daughter's ability to put a song across with great feeling and emotion. Marlene does not just teach how to sing - she teaches how to perform! We couldn't be more pleased.
I should add that if you have a chance to see Marlene and her partner Phil perform, don't miss it!

I was looking for a voice teacher and was aware of Marlene Arden through her advertisement in the room where our choir practiced. I heard Marlene sing at a local venue and I was blown away by her voice and talent. I decided that I would go to her for instruction. Marlene was easy to like and so encouraging and patient! I would recommend her as a teacher!! Also, if you have an opportunity to hear her sing, you must go listen. Impressive!

I was a student of Marlene’s from 2018-2019 before I moved to Los Angeles. She helped me prepare for all of my auditions with Grace Arts, a HUGE audition I had with two label companies and for a competition i went to in January of 2019 called IMTA. Where she helped me win 3rd place out of hundreds of girls from all over the world in a singing competition. Marlene is not only an amazing teacher, but a wonderful friend. She’s there for you, encourages you, and wants the absolute best for you. I’ve learned so much from Marlene in my short time of learning with her. So if you’re considering lessons, I would HIGHLY recommend it. You or your child will be gaining amazing knowledge, technique. Focus on not only learning scales, but breathing techniques, connecting with your song. So, thank you Marlene for everything! You’re one of a kind.

Marlene is such an amazing vocal coach. I have been doing my lessons online through Zoom and they have been really great. I look forward to every session, because it's all so fun. I feel like I'm quickly making significant improvements. She's very flexible with her schedule, which has been so helpful for me. She took the time to design a lesson that best suits me. She has great constructive criticism which is such a nice positive way for me to learn. It doesn't matter where you're at because if you're looking for a great vocal coach look no further. I believe the lessons are worth every penny!

Gina Padilla
I have been taking voice lessons with Marlene Arden for about 1 year and 6 months. She is very welcoming and sweet. I have always had a fear of singing in front of others, but she quickly put me at ease. When giving her feedback, Marlene has a way of being honest while simultaneously being encouraging.
After a year of lessons with her, she challenged me to apply for a singing scholarship. I was petrified of applying, but with her help, I was able to send in a video. And as it turns out, I got the scholarship! I think voice is a hard instrument to help others train. Marlene does this very well and made it easy for me to conceptualize how the voice flows in a intuitive manner. I am happy to call her my friend.
