Vanessa L.

Amelie loves Vanessa, We started Amelie taking lessons online due to not being able to find a local Voice teacher. We have since been contacted by locals to teach Amelie and each time she has chose to stay on-line learning from Vanessa. Amelie does not get much time to practice singing, but absolutely loves to sing with Vanessa. Amelie has came a very long way in her voice ranges, also her breathing while singing. We will stay with Vanessa until Amelie can sing as well as she wishes! Amelie has Aspergers and is a quiet soul, Vanessa brings out the best in her.

Vanessa is very strong on technique and is very flexible and encouraging. My daughter is slowly moving into a more confident singing place thanks to her. If my daughter were ever to have more lessons we'd return to her without hesitation. From my daughter :"she's kind, fun and a good instructor". Thank you,Vanessa!

My daughter (age 12) really enjoyed lessons with Vanessa. She was very encouraging! She progressed quickly in a short amount of time. We really liked the availability of having lessons via Skype. It was just as good as a one on one lesson and more convenient without the drive! Highly recommend Vanessa if interested.

I honestly had a wonderful time. Vanessa is a GREAT teacher and is patient with her students. She gave me various exercises that improved my singing. If I trouble performing an exercise, she would give me another that targeted the same area she was teaching me. Some exercises were easier than other, but in the end, improvement comes from practice. Awesome singing teacher!

Fun and engaging! She challenges my daughter with vocal drills and positive feedback. She also motivates my daughter to perfect classic Academy Award-winning ballad music like EY Harburg 'Over the Rainbow'. Great use of technology to keep my child practicing with in-home (in real time) singing lesson sent directly to my email for my daughter to listen during her practice. She has always been on time, willing to accommodate date change and extremely friendly. Highly recommend.

My Growth with Vanessa

Vanessa is honestly a very talented singer as well as a great teacher. Her experience is seen the way she teaches. She gives you just the right amount of push that you need to succeed. Her teaching has helped me discover new avenues of my voice I never would have thought to develop. Through the way she explains every little detail, I was able to feel like I truly knew what I was doing in each and every song we perfected. If you're looking to seriously commit yourself to discovering the full capacity of your voice, Vanessa would be a great teacher for you.

Vanessa is a very good teacher!

Vanessa is a very good voice teacher. She is talented, fun, patient, and encouraging. Her classes are interesting - we do a mixture of technique/skills and fun songs. I look forward to her class every week, and my singing has improved a lot since I started my lessons with her. I really like Vanessa as my voice teacher.

A whole new world has opened for me

I wholeheartedly agree with all of the glowing reviews. Vanessa is a wonderful teacher. I so appreciate her spot-on ear and her excellent training, performance and vocal teaching experience to help me express myself and become the best singer I can be. I am a relative newbie to singing, and I feel so fortunate to have found Vanessa who is so genuine and is passionate about helping me learn proper technique. Consequently, a whole new world has been opened to me, and I’ve been achieving a depth with my singing voice that truly astonishes me. When you have a desire to creatively express yourself but have no concept or clue as to how to get there, or perhaps have hit a wall, it is a true gift to find a kind and generous teacher like Vanessa who has such an amazing ability to assess your needs, to help you learn proper technique, and to help you discover (and strengthen) the voice you never knew existed.

I'm on my way because of Vanessa

When I started training with Vanessa I had not had any formal education on singing since middle school. I needed to re-learn my fundamentals of singing. Her warm and encouraging teaching style made me comfortable immediately. She quickly found out where I was lacking and taught me I can be in control if I learn how to Breath while singing. Sounds easy right? Well no Vanessa really had to break my bad singing techniques because I wasn't using breath control. Well now my breathing and my tone has developed all due to Vanessa giving me the tools to sing properly. I highly recommend her if you are a serious student wanting to achieve your own sound properly and save your vocal chords from burning out due to bad form.

An inspiring vocal teacher

Vanessa gave quality instruction while making it fun. She went over and beyond expectations with her scheduling flexibility. She also included a wide variety of music to sing. Her mannerism was kind and encouraging to the student. She is an amazing vocal teacher who is patient with her students.

lessons

Vanessa is an amazing teacher. She is so sweet and encouraging! Whenever I'm having trouble with an exercise she is able to pin point what I'm doing wrong and correct me, which I really appreciate. I've only had a few lessons with her but I can already hear the progress! I highly recommend taking lessons with her. She's great!!

An Amazing Instructor

Before my lessons with Vanessa I never knew or had faith that anyone could ever truly teach someone how to sing. I thought either you were born with a natural ability or you weren't.. I was wrong!After a few lessons with Vanessa I couldn't believe my ears! I actually stopped in the middle of one of my notes saying "Is that me??!" :)

I love my lessons!

My lessons are awesome! Vanessa is really a phenonmenal instructor. She has an upbeat personality and she is very passionate about teaching. With previous instructors I felt like I was just sitting there listening to the instructor. But, Vanessa gets you involved. As she is teaching you are singing along with her. Its awesome! Thank you Take Lessons for providing such a great teacher.

Vanessa is AWESOME-Love her!!!

Vanessa is totally awesome! My son and I love her. She is so full of energy and is always smiling. My son is very shy when he first meets a person, but with her beautiful personality, he started opening up by his second lesson. He is going into his 2nd month now and making much progress. Venessa makes his lessons very enjoyable. She is constantly complimenting my son when he does well and is totally patient when there are challenges. That is very important in building self confidence. She is by far, 5 stars!!!! Highly recommend her.
