Singing Coach Joseph Stanek Performs “The Music of the Night” from The Phantom of the Opera
I have never considered the time I spend as a professional singing coach a “job.” Leave the “job” aspect of it to everyone else out there.
Being a singing coach is a testament to the transformative power of dedication. This video is so much more than just a performance I am proud of: it's my proof that anyone can learn to sing.
This "The Music of the Night" performance is my own powerful reminder of what’s possible when you dedicate yourself to mastering a new skill. It’s a Phantom of the Opera cover that reflects not only years of vocal training, but the passion behind my work as a Broadway vocal coach and professional singer NYC–based.
Witness my journey, from a pitch-challenged child to a professional singer, and understand the fire that fuels my approach as a highly respected singing coach. If you’ve ever wondered what true vocal mastery looks and feels like, you’re watching it come alive right here.

From Vocal Struggle Bus to Stage Sensation: My Singing Journey
I wish I could show my 9-year-old self this performance. That was how old I was when I first heard a recording of my own singing voice. Back then, “singing” wasn’t even the right word for what I was doing... I couldn’t even match pitch. I was shocked as the pieces came together. I was mortified that my voice sounded the way it did, and even at such a young age, it was a harrowing realization of just how far I was from my dream.
But a fire ignited within me: I would become a professional singer, no matter what. This "The Music of the Night" cover showcases the result of years of dedicated work — the kind of operatic musical theatre singing that felt impossible to me as a child.
It’s the same determination I bring to my singers as their Phantom of the Opera singing coach, helping them rise from vocal struggle to stage-ready confidence.
This is the kind of Broadway vocal performance I once only fantasized about, and now it’s part of my life’s work to show you what’s possible in your own journey.
If you’re ready to train with a Broadway vocal coach who teaches both online and in NYC, I’d love to work with you.

The Power of Transformation: Your Voice, Your Potential
Today, as a leading singing coach and professional singer NYC, I stand on stages I once only dreamed of. If I could play this Joseph Stanek Music of the Night video for my younger self — this full, dramatic Phantom of the Opera cover — to show him that he is capable of singing the SH*T out of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most vocally demanding composition ever, he’d probably just tell me to shut up as he hit “replay.” Because deep down, he knew the potential was there.
And I know it’s in you, too.
This is more than a display of Broadway vocal performance abilities; it’s a demonstration of what dedication and training can achieve. It’s the culmination of technique, storytelling, and vocal mastery — the same qualities I train into my singers every day.
Trust me, I’ve been through every painstaking step of becoming a career singer. And now, I’m here to make sure that your vocal journey is as rewarding as the one that changed the trajectory of my own life... and then some!
