Excellent 1st lesson. She was very nice, very knowledgeable, and very understanding. Explain things throughly and actually works with you. She's very organized and has a system that seems fail proof. I feel like I will definitely be making great progress and will achieve all the goals that I set out for myself plus more. I don't usually write reviews but this one was well deserved. Definitely looking forward to my next lesson and many more to come

Karmyn is an excellent singing instructor and an excellent educator. She has clearly put a lot of thought into how to convey ideas to students of different ages and skill levels. Karmyn has a warm and engaging manner. We couldn't be happier to work with her.

My first spoken voice lesson was great! It was like getting a glimpse on a set of new and totally unknown tools that I could eventually find out how to use them for my expression. Though it was only a short lesson, it felt intense and concentrated and after the first excercises we did, I already felt that my throat had opened up a bit and that everything felt more clear and more connected. In a situation where I had to suddenly speak publicly right after the session, I remembered that I could reach a slightly deeper pitch after the excercises. It helped me relax my voice right in the situation. It's really great working with you, Karmyn! I'm looking forward to the next lesson.

With just only a few lessons I can really tell a big difference, she is teaching me so much more than just singing,how to do great stretches and exercises to get the best sound possible,plus she has a very encouraging and up lifting spirit about her that gives you the confidence you need to do your best with every lesson,I'm truly blessed to have found her and hope that she will be with me on my journey towards a successful career for years to come.karmyn truly wants to help you succeed and that is priceless.

She's the best, she's the very best out there. THIS HUMAN BEING, is like no other. She'll make it worth your time and money. I have learned a lot and my voice has become stronger & powerful. She does genuinely want you to get better and she'll help you, she's very patient, understanding, nurturing, she's a GODSEND. If you don't take her, I understand if it's cause of financial issues, but she's very much worth it. I will follow her as far as possible, she's really been a great help. I do not know how will I ever repay her back.

Karmyn taught me how to sing correctly!

SO grateful to have Karmyn as my vocal coach . I decided to take voice lessons at around 50 after wanting to sing all my life, but never having the courage. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! And, with much thanks to Karmyn, who has supported me from the start and who has taught me how to sing correctly. I will sing the rest of my life.

Taylored to the Student

Working with Karmyn is a pleasant experience; she's an incredibly nice lady and -- unlike some teachers -- sets her ego aside to focus on the student's desired outcomes. To that end she allowed me to choose my own song for evaluation so that she could help me move in direction I wanted to go. Honestly, it was a little unnerving singing in front of such an accomplished singer, but Karmyn is very kind and gentle with her guidance. I'm not a professional singer, nor do I ever intend to be; I do it for my own joy and entertainment of friends. I sought Karmyn because I wanted to make small improvements in what I was doing, and ensure that I if I had a bad habit or problem, it could be eliminated.

Karmyn is the real deal; one only has to listen to her music (you can find it on line). What she brings to her teaching is her southern kindness, and a genuine desire to help her students reach their goals, no matter what those goals might be.

A dynamic vocal instructor!

When I was ten years old, I was given my first voice lesson from Karmyn, and today, as an 18 year old, I cannot begin to tell you how much my voice has grown: my range has increased, my control has strengthened, and my overall sound has developed in an amazing way. Karmyn is a dynamic vocal instructor who critiques and explains what I am doing wrong with effectiveness. Karmyn has taught me the importance of taking care of my voice and has never pushed me farther than she felt I could go. With her positive attitude and continuous smile, Karmyn has also made a great impact on my life. It is for these reasons and others that I will continue to take voice lessons from Karmyn. Karmyn cares, is a great person, and continues to give me the tools I need to increase my vocal ability.

She is the best!

I would like to say a very special thank you to one of my very best friends, Karmyn for having me try out her new vocal warm-up for tenors! I used them this morning prior to performing in church and I could really feel the difference in my voice. Karmyn, is one of the most talented vocalists and teachers I have ever known and I love her so much! I encourage any vocalist who needs good warm-up exercises or other vocal resources to contact Karmyn or check her out! She is the best!

Unique Professional Vocal Teacher

I have had the pleasure of working with Karmyn for over 20 years. As her manager I am constantly overwhelmed with her versatile talent in singing and acting. I have also seen her work with students to bring them to a level of professionalism without losing who they are as an artist. She teaches a student to tap into their uniqueness as an artist and not become a carbon copy of someone else. I have even signed a few of her students into my agency. Simply put: When you take lessons from Karmyn, you take from the best.

An excellent teacher and mentor!

f you have the opportunity to take vocal or piano lessons with Karmyn you should jump at the chance. Karmyn has years of experience working with a variety of age groups. She is patient yet detailed in what areas need improvement and practice techniques. She will discuss the goals with the parents and the students and work toward those goals. She has real world experience with students in competition shows like American Idol, live theatre and television actors working on auditions and shows. While living in Los Angeles, she had a steady gig singing and playing and had a loyal following. She understands the demands of the entertainment industry and has great resources for her students. Karmyn is organized, reliable and motivating. We were lucky enough to have her as a teacher here at Burbank Music Academy and were very sad to see her move to New York. Her students miss her and the teachers that took over her students see a solid foundation they continue to build on. Karmyn will be an excellent teacher and mentor to students of all genres and backgrounds.

First Class Teacher

Having had Karmyn as a student, then a colleague, I can say, without reservation, that she is a gifted performer and top-notch teacher. Her vocals are impeccable, and she has the pedagogical skill to impart her own method to other singers. Karmyn is a delight to work with, and will ensure her students a bright future in music, whether the goals are professional or personal.

The best of the best!!!

I would not be the vocalist I am today without Karmyn!!! I started taking voice lessons from her when I was just 6 years old (I am in my early twenties now). Every time I establish a goal, Karmyn is there for me every step of the way until I achieve that goal!! Through her instruction, I have won many awards including several talent awards in the Miss America system, placed top 10 at the state level, placed 2nd in Loretta Lynn's talent search, and debuted my first CD with original songs at the age of 13. I wouldn't trust anyone else. She's AMAZING and truly the best of the best. Her methods are genius. Karmyn can and will help you reach your full potential. And Karmyn is more than just my vocal coach, she has been my friend and mentor for many many years. If I "grow up" to be even half of the honest, caring, smart, and talented woman she is, I will be ecstatic!!
