I cannot say enough amazing things about my voice teacher. From the very beginning, she believed in me in ways I did not even know I needed. I came to her carrying a lot of insecurity and lack of confidence from a college experience over 20 years ago, where a former teacher told me I was tone deaf. She was genuinely upset when she heard that and made it very clear that this was absolutely not true, and she has proven that to me time and time again.
When I doubt myself, she holds the confidence for me. She does not let me give up, even on the days when I feel frustrated or overwhelmed. I came in knowing almost nothing about lyric diction, reading music, or understanding keys. I am mostly self taught and used to just singing along with the radio. She has patiently and skillfully taught me all of this, breaking things down in a way that makes sense and feels empowering instead of intimidating.
She is also helping me work toward a very personal goal of performing in front of a crowd at a very special upcoming event, something I never thought I would have the courage to do. Because of her, I am stepping out of my shell and truly growing as a vocalist and as a person.
Her knowledge is incredibly broad and includes multiple languages. We are currently working on a bilingual song in English and Spanish, and she even helped me write and shape the translation so it would connect with and attract the entire audience. That level of dedication and care is rare.
She is talented, passionate, patient, and deeply invested in her students growth. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their talents, build confidence, and truly find their voice. Working with her has been life changing.
