    Excited! Judy is woooooow! She is fabulous! she is just the best. I am enjoying my piano lessons with her, after my first lesson I can now play some songs on my own, and to crown it all she's such an interesting person. Oh yes, I will definitely recommend her.

    I'm excited for my next lesson! I'm extremely happy to have Judy as my voice teacher! Here's why... I assumed I would spend a few months working with different teachers to find a great fit. After reading other positive reviews, I went to Judy first. Halfway through my first lesson, I was convinced she was the right teacher - the entire experience was tailored to my particular strengths and weaknesses. There was no sense of a "canned lesson." As she walked me through a few exercises, she paid very close attention to my (good and bad) habits, and offered insightful feedback. After a few lessons, she had completely changed the way I looked at singing... there's hope for me after all! She knows her stuff, and it doesn't take long for that to become obvious. I'm excited for my next lesson!
