My fiance & I took singing lessons with Val for our wedding. We're having karaoke and we'll be kicking it off with a song. Unfortunately, I was never able to carry a tune well...my fiance's more of the performer. Val really helped me become confident and was able to teach me to hit the proper notes when singing. Who knew I could sound half way decent!! He really helped us with our rhythm as well. We'll be performing in a week and I'm really excited to go up there and be a rock star thanks to the teachings of Val!

Val is a ten! He has given me technics as I need them so far to strengthen my breathing mechanism, therefore to produce and speak the vowels in notes to emphasize this critical need. He remembers my dream, and I know that together, we'll make it. Thank you guys for being around to support me. I am getting out of my shell, and I'd like to emerge as a pearl!
