Somehow took me several years to get here to write a review; didn't even think he was on Yelp…read more Robert has been teaching me how to use my voice as an instrument. How to care for and train it, and how to play it. I went from shower singing to singing in public, performing in public within a year and my confidence and my ability grew along with my repertoire. He is a past master at analysis of strengths and weaknesses, reenforcing the former and transforming the latter. Whether you want to sing in public, need help in finding your voice in business meetings or just want to have fun, Robert is for you, the thinking person's singing teacher.

I've been taking singing lessons for the past 6 weeks and Robert is great. I have never sang in my…read moreentire life (well not in anyway that i thought sounded like singing)- and he has been incredibly confident, kind, and unbelievably knowledgeable in helping me understand where my blocks are (self confidence, sigh) and teaching me that - actually- I CAN sing. My singing lessons thus far have been 1 part knowledge about how the voice works, 1 part practicing technique (and we are starting at the step 1 that is for sure), and 1 part therapy. I am genuinely in awe watching and listening to him do his job. I feel very lucky that I found him as my voice teacher (incredibly enough he was the only voice teacher i found on yelp that actually called me back- it seems it was meant to be). What is particularly cool is that he records all our sessions and then sends them that week for me to practice with over the following weeks and months. Also he makes pretty incredible (albeit interesting) suggestions on how to move through certain blocks (ie go to a shooting range to open my root chakra - which i am fully planning on doing - even as i HATE guns). he just has the knowledge and experience it takes to really make this possible for me- which is really exciting. i couldn't recommend a voice teacher more.

Michele Thomas (owner of Soulstream Music) has been my voice instructor for a year now and I can't…read moresay enough positive things about her. She is a phenomenal jazz vocalist and brings both her expertise and sensible compassion to voice lessons. She encourages you to develop a vocal goal and that is what you will work towards. Unlike other voice instructors I've had, you are allowed to pick your own music here so you can practice what you are both good and comfortable at. She holds semi-yearly recitals for students to display their talents and also holds seminars and other activities to promote musicianship and knowledge in the music business. If you are looking for a caring and competent voice instructor, she comes highly recommended and her fees are ridiculously reasonable.

I never thought to check out Michele on Yelp. I have been going to her for a few years now and she…read morehas coached me through fronting a cover band and on to singing for my original projects. She is not only an amazing talent, but a patient and supportive mentor. She is good about helping you set realistic goals and achieving them. She doesn't have the one size fits all teaching method. She meets you at your current level and helps you move forward. She helps you develop YOUR voice.
