No Complaints Here!
Susan was great! I had to cancel shortly into my scheduled lessons due to medical treatment, but my time with Susan was well spent and I have every intention of resuming lessons when possible. She was very attentive to my needs and moving at a reasonable but productive pace. She has many years of experience in voice coaching and performing and it comes through her teaching. She knows exactly what you need to do to progress and is ready to give you exercises and tips to get you there quickly. I recommend Susan for anyone who is looking to improve their singing or voice control.

Great teacher!
Susan is an encouraging and helpful teacher. In a few short sessions I already feel more confident in both my speaking and singing abilities. Susan strikes a good balance of fun and challenge.
