She's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. The laryngeal massages and targeted vocal exercises she's guided me through have made such a difference in helping me understand my voice and reduce tension. What I appreciate most is how supported I feel during our sessions. She truly listens and tailors everything to what my voice needs that day. If you're struggling with vocal tension or MTD, Paloma is someone you absolutely want on your team.

I'm not surprised that Paloma has perfect. Five star review on yelp - I'm so glad I went based on…read morethese recommendations when I reached out to her for lessons I had not sung in decades when I began working with Paloma in October, with one very meaningful goal: to prepare Ave Maria for my mother's 80th birthday Mass. Paloma is a seasoned professional with an absolutely beautiful voice, and she made the entire process approachable, easy to digest, and genuinely fun. She taught me how the voice truly works--breath support, diaphragm use, vocal anatomy, resonance, tongue placement, and effective exercises that rebuilt my voice with care and intention. Her depth of knowledge is exceptional, yet she explains everything in a way that feels clear and accessible. Most importantly, I felt extremely comfortable and supported every step of the way. Thanks to Paloma's expertise, patience, and encouragement, I was able to deliver a heartfelt and beautiful tribute to my mother. If you are returning to singing after time away or preparing for something truly meaningful, I cannot recommend Paloma highly enough.

If you are looking for affordable fun singing classes, then this is the place to be. Ashton is…read moresuper patient and knows how to gage the level of each individual student. I've been coming here for about a year, mainly because I wanted an extra activity to do between work and I have to say, I have learned a lot about my voice and how to use it properly. I used to strain my voice all the time just singing in the car but now I can sing for hours on those long road trips haha. I also train people at work in software and am required to talk quite a lot. Ashton has taught me how to effectively use my voice even if I am not singing. I used to run out of breath and my voice would be gone after a four to five hour training but now I'm breathing properly and projecting my voice with my diaphragm instead of my throat. The small details and the exercises that Ashton gives really make a large difference. I have since convinced my girlfriend to take lessons. She was hesitant at first and not very motivated to start singing lessons but now she loves it. Along with the singing lessons, Ashton also does some fun events such as Christmas shows, music videos with all the members and other fun stuff. These are not required but they are excited to test out all those hours of vocal training. Highly recommended for all ages and especially if you are just looking for something new to try.

Not much works with the craziness of my schedule but Jenn has found a way to give her remote clients as good an experience as those she sees in person.

We don't spend the session running boring scales instead she provides creative ways to embrace different sounds and really challenges you to bring out the performer inside. Totally recommend Forbsey for anyone wanting to improve their vocal technique and get their passion back for singing!

They just had their 1st recital last Saturday and they did an amazing job! Grateful for the school especially my son's violin teacher Ms. Allegra and daughter's piano teacher Mr. Nico who chose beautiful music pieces to perform for the recital. Ms. Allegra is sweet, organized and super patient with my son, who's usually really shy but he was so confident during his recital and he was happy he did a duet with his teacher during the recital. I'm amazed how fast he was learning. Mr. Nico keeps the lesson fun for my daughter. He really educates her in reading notes and playing. He's very encouraging and committed to teaching. The staff and owner, Jennifer, is very accommodating. Always emails or calls back at a timely manner whenever I have questions. Scheduling make up lesson is also a cinch just by doing it online. I highly recommend Prado Music Academy to parents who want their child/ren to receive top notch music training. Can't wait for the next recital and how much my kids will improve!

With her comprehensive & signature warmup, Terri takes you on a full vocal journey, exploring all areas of the voice. This is incredibly helpful for singers at all levels because if you're ever struggling with a song, there is something in the warmup to relate back to as a resource. Genius! I highly recommend Terri Weiss for singers at all levels. There is always something new to learn. Why not do it with someone who cares & genuinely wants to help you? Go to Terri! :)

That should have been the first sign i was dealing with a self centered narcissist ? Seeing she had Zero sensitivity to my crucial situation YA THINK ? well it just gets better and better from there , INSTEAD of having the professionalism to email me forms to fill out , she waits till i get to her "CAT HOUSE" to hand me forms so that it would EAT into my $90 , NICE !!! as the hour progresses , i saw that she was very low on the scale of what i'm use to as far as TOP NOTCH REAL actual PROFESSIONAL vocal coaches are concerned ,& SADLY i am humbly scratching the surface here since i still havnt mentioned how rude & abrasive she was while sharply shouting @ me as to how I should park which later on she STATED there's actually no parking allowed ,& next time i'd have to park out on street and walk to her , GREAT !!! BEING the CLOCK WATCHER she turns out to be , She says lesson over & you get no vocalizing since you talked entire time !!! WOW just WOW , i'm wondering why she didn't clarify when i got there , that there's NO talking allowed ? NICE LADY !!! than i asked about vocalizations for practice ? & was told those only come with payment ? so i zelle'd her for 4 more lessons in advance , But still no mention of any kind of vocal exercises , & i was feeling EXTREMELY disrespected & her HAUTY holier then thou attitude just made it all the worse , THE REAL DEAL BREAKER came when i was taking my time walking out the door due to an injured left leg & she was practically physically shoving me out the door , i was begging her to take it easy as she screamed urgently for her BABIES , stating it was feeding time ( 5 cats ) & the ICING on the cake came when i driving out , the gate was bolted & chained locked & since i wasn't familiar with the layout of the parking lot , i called her & her anger had escalated @ that point to the level of insinuating i was not so brite !!! sorry ms waters i have no idea where i am & it's dark outside , @ that point i was done with the entire Crazy Cat Lady Drama & could clearly see this would not be a healthy learning environment for me so i pulled my car over & call Nancy Badger a protege of Ron Anderson (rip) who was literally the top in the world and worth the 1,500$ he charged !!! now i've booked a lesson with Nancy & i can't wait !!! ba bye Marquita !!! sorry but u don't practice all the PEACE & LOVE that you preach & as far as i'm concerned you OWE ME A FULL REFUND !!! you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time !!! personally i was feeling WIZARD from the WIZARD of OZ vibes !!! sad situation singers BEWARE , enter with caution !!!!

Marquita is a fun and knowledgeable person that has made my singing improve, given me performance…read moreconfidence, and made singing enjoyable. I've been a singer ever since I was a kid. I love doing karaoke with my grandma and was in choir for five years. I've gotten to learn some techniques over the years, but not the right techniques that would build my natural sound. I've always wanted to improve my singing with professional help, but I always felt scared and insecure of reaching my dream. Until years later I felt ready to conquer that and my grandmother recommended me Marquita. I found Marquita's website and submitted a request for private lessons, and Marquita responded within 24 hours! We talked on the phone about the goals I want for myself and we set a date and time to start. From the first day, Marquita was very communicative and clear as far as where to park and explained her terms and conditions for payment and cancellations (which seemed fair and reasonable to me). Her home is spacious and comfortable. She has some cute cats that sometimes likes to come out and say hi, but for the most part they stay upstairs and hidden. From Marquita's private lessons, she has helped me learned the right techniques for my sound in ways that are comfortable for me, and in ways that challenge myself in the best way. She gave me a file she made of different vocal warm ups that really do help prepare my voice. From her teachings, I've been able to push my voice in ways I didn't know I could even reach to. Also from her knowledge, I've been able to even understand the scientific perspective when singing as well. Even on days when I have stage fright, been hard on myself, or when other problems have gotten in the way, Marquita has been very kind, patient, understanding, and supportive. I also do attend the performance practice with her other students twice a month. The performance practice really helps me feel comfortable with performing, receiving feedback, and having fun with the other students. At first I was nervous to join because of my stage fright, but through the practice and being in a safe environment, it has really helped me conquer it. We give each other feedback and support that makes it easier to perform in front of each other over time. She's been a great teacher, mentor, and friend through this experience, and I'm really grateful for her guidance.
