Ginni is a sweetheart. She helped my daughter enormously with her tryouts. We are waiting till after dance competition season to consider more lessons.

Fun, Educational & Professional
Ginni taught me so much!! Her warm, positive attitude is infectious. Ginni's encouraging words will always stay with me & push me to continue practicing!!

Fun, Educational, Inspiring, Full of Technique
She is genuine, honest, patient, knowledgeable, determined, thoughful & a delight to work with. She has taught me more in the last few weeks than I had learned in 9 years of school. I like that she asks how the previous week had gone at the beginning of each lesson & is willing to sit & listen or give advice to build knowledge and confidence. Her knowledge of the piano is rewarding for her students learning to read music or basic piano techniques to improve singing techniques. I look forward to learning all that Ginni is willing to teach.

Feedback for Ginni A.
We could not have found a more perfect voice or piano teacher. Ginnie you are a perfect balance. You allows our girls the freedom to enjoy and choose songs that they like all while gently teaching them the fundamentals of music. Also, you have been so accommodating to our needs, and with our busy lives it’s nice to know you understand. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with our girls!

Ginni is a very dedicated voice instructor. She is passionate about bringing the best out in you. She takes you back to the basic and makes you reach each lesson. I'm truly learning alot and feel I'm growing vocally.

Ginni Saved My Voice
Before lessons with Ginni, I had all but completely destroyed my voice with a bad cigarette habit during college. With just a few months of instruction, Ginni has opened my voice up to places it could never go before. I have since been able to reclaim the resonance, understanding, and aptitude my voice once had and THEN SOME.
I am thankful to say I am now auditioning and being cast in musicals again, and I cannot express my gratitude for eall the things, besides the teaching, that go along with a truly great mentor; the time conversing about things completely unrelated (yet intrinsically woven in) to the vocal lesson, the willingness to go out of her way to help me pick/copy songs (despite my laziness), and spirit to encourage and inspire me on those down days.
This little comment box won't hold all the qualities you or your child will be more than appreciative for, when taking lessons with Ginni. :)




Excellent teacher!
Ginni is awesome! Very patient and easy to be with. Goes at your own pace! Thank you Ginni for everything you taught me.

Great piano/voice teacher for young children!
Ginni is an excellent piano/voice teacher for young children. She has amazed us with her natural ability to keep our 3 year old engaged in learning in a warm, caring and respectful way. We highly recommend her for children AND adults.
– Amy K. February 14, 2009



Wonderful
Ginni is warm, wonderful and talented. From the basics to the intimate details of singing she can help mold you into the best singer possible. I felt musically challenged in an atmosphere that also felt safe.

Best teacher ever!
Ever since I've started singing lessons with Ginni she has made it fun and comfortable for me. She is very patient, encouraging, and always stays positive in her lessons. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher!
– Brittany C. September 01, 2008



I had a great session last week with Ginni. She is very professional, warm & an excellent instructor! I have tremendous confidence in her teaching ability.
– Kathleen B. March 19, 2008



I think Ginni is a wonderful teacher!
I think Ginni is a wonderful teacher. In only two lessons, she has shown a rare dedication to helping me understand singing concepts that I've had trouble with before. Today she told me she did some research on how I could understand raising the soft palate (something very important in singing). We then practiced using different exercises until we found one that worked for me. Just taking some time outside of our lessons to help me, showed how much she cared about her students and understood singing. After being with several other teachers, I've finally found an excellent instructor who is able to inspire and help me learn the art of singing.
