My daughter has been taking voice lessons with Alexa and we have been very happy, as she has improved a lot. I was only able to select one area under “subject” above so I selected “singing”; she works on several areas such as performance, has helped my daughter with audition preparation, fundamentals that she needs for her school chorale program, etc. Alexis is talented herself, very personable, easy to work with, and flexible. My daughter’s previous teacher left her (moved) with no warning and we found Alexis. It turned out to be a blessing as she is wonderful!!
