Estelle Liebling (April 21, 1880 – 1970) was a vocal coach who taught singing using the three register method. She stressed the "unmusicalness" of the seventh octave, as well as the avoidance of the head register in men. One of Liebling's most famous pupils was Beverly Sills,[1] a coloratura soprano.

Estelle Liebling had been a pupil of Mathilde Marchesi[1] and carried forth the Manuel Garcia Jr. (Manuel Patricio Rodríguez García) tradition.


Liebling had been a favored soprano of John Philip Sousa earlier in her career.[2]
