My daughter has been singing and performing with Jackie for 4+ years all around the world from California (in person) to Korea (zoom). Miss Jackie took my daughter in as an evaluation as a new 5 year old and fell in love with her. Her technique and ability to teach and connect with little ones is so amazing. I don't know how a 5 year old manages to follow and remember everything she says. My daughter self sufficiently trains herself everyday whether it is breathing, warm ups, pitch, ear training, theory, or posture because Miss Jackie said to. Miss Jackie is one with her students and finds ways to unlock their potentials. It's hard to find a teacher that is so in tune with their students and she tries to challenge them to explore their ranges and genres. It's refreshing to hear my daughter sing things from musicals, pop, rock, and even the oldies. She doesn't only teach singing the way the kids will understand, she teaches them how to tell a story with the song in their performances or auditions. My daughter is learning about objectives and audiences to connect to the music to bring the song to life. It's so nice that Miss Jackie works with the parents and helps the kids in anyway she can. Because of Miss Jackie's eye and guidance for the last 4+ years, my daughter has been singing on stage, dabbled commercial/film acting, performed musical theater/plays, and has experience in voice over acting. I think we will be following Jackie forever or at least until my 10 year decides this is not her thing anymore. She will definitely be a lifetime mentor for my daughter.

She has given us the most beautiful gift and has become like family. Every week, she pours into our daughter and gives her not just an amazing voice lesson, but so much more! She is helping her read music and really understand the songs she is performing. She helps with audition tips, acting and so much more. I am amazed at how Jackie can tweak just one part of a song and take it from good to magical! In less than a year with Jackie, our daughter has made the most tremendous improvement in her vocal ability. Her technique, tone, ability to sustain long notes and hit every note on key has become strong and consistent! The feedback we get from people who haven't heard her sing recently is amazing. It seems like she has gotten several years of experience out of just 11 months of coaching with Jackie. She has taken our daughter one step closer to being a professional singer and we could not be more thankful to her! We love her so much and highly recommend her to anyone looking for the real deal!
