Honestly I don't know where to begin! Studying with Judy has completely transformed my life. I have been singing since I was five, with different vocal coaches scattered throughout the years. But nothing, and I mean nothing, has improved my singing more than studying with Judy. I am past my fourth year with her, and with each month I notice vocal growth, depth, and more precision. Working with Judy, your voice can be groomed, honed, and grown into something magnificent...IF you are willing to do the work. The technique isn't for the faint of hearts. It isn't easy. It is rigorous, intensive, and some days you will feel like you want to quit. But you don't...Because true artists and singers can't stay away. ESPECIALLY when you know you are getting the absolute best for your voice with Judy. If you are serious about singing, I strongly encourage you to study with Judy Hages. While it is tough to get in for a trial lesson, if you do, you will be very lucky!! My life and my voice will never be the same. :) read more

Judy and this training have completely changed the course of my life. I started out with a very small, generic sounding voice with no range but through many years of training I developed a voice that is better than I could have ever dreamed possible. I never thought that a voice could be changed so drastically. I had always been told that you either have a naturally good voice or you don't. But that is simply not the case. I have seen Judy help people who could barely speak develop voices that are so big and so unique that no one would ever believe that they didn't have that voice naturally. And the development happens extremely quickly. The training takes focus and hard work, especially in the beginning, but once you get past everything being new and confusing, it all starts to work. The best part of the training is that you learn exactly how to do everything you want to do (you can learn to sing any and all styles of music) and how to continuously develop and maintain your own voice. The beauty of that is that you will not be dependent on someone for your whole life. You become the master of your own voice. It's very freeing and rewarding to know that you can sing and know why things are working and how to fix things that aren't working. It takes all of the fear and guesswork out of singing. It's not only an art but a science. I highly recommend studying with Judy Hages if you are serious about singing and willing to do some very satisfying work. Judy will help develop your voice, show you how to maintain your voice, and teach you to sing with artistry, musicality, and an overall freedom and joy that comes from truly loving your voice and knowing that it will will never let you down. read more

I have been a student with Judy for 2 years. I have a daytime job as a physician and a background in music. I sang in a rock band in high school and college, and more recently have a solo guitar/vocal act playing classic rock standards. I had specific goals when I started with Judy. First, I wanted to find my real voice, as opposed to mimicking the artists I cover. Second, I wanted to increase my range. I have a low voice and was getting stuck comfortably singing to an E (I am 54). Judy has a very specific process for increasing the quality and range of your voice, and the system works. It's very clear to me now what my voice is, and if I can say, it has improved tremendously; my cover songs are very noticeably much better. In addition, I sing to a G# and I am on my way to an A, which to me is amazing. And its not just the range, my voice now has strength, color and the ability to vary in intensity. When I perform, I receive constant compliments on my voice. How else do I know that Judy knows what she is doing? Because I see what she has done with her other students. Many come in with years of lessons not being able to sing well at all (some are awesome professionals). Some are out of pitch, lack support, have no presence; the list goes on and on. I had many of these same problems. But Judy gets them all, including the ones who come in with serious skills, to dramatically improve in a very short period of time; the transformation is unbelievable. I have spent my entire life in academics and I can say that Judy is an excellent teacher. She knows how to listen and then easily diagnose problems, and clearly explain how to fix issues. This sounds simple enough but it is a characteristic that many teachers have not mastered. In addition she is a wonderful person who is honest. When you are not doing well she will really let you know. But she is quick with the compliment if deserved. She is a complete pro. If you are serious about improving and want to enjoy your voice again, you need to see Judy. read more

I have been a singer since the age of 5. To my dismay during the 80's and 90's I discovered Hard Rock and Grunge. I thought I was showing emotion by screaming in my throat with a cigarette in one hand that held the Mic and bottle of hard booze in the other I was young and it seemed to work for a short while until I lost my voice and my range was gone. I was depressed and devastated that I may never sing again without surgery. I then found Judy Hages sometime in 1992 with my damaged voice. I had a Nodule on one vocal chord and it made an indentation in the other chord from me forcing them together to try to produce sound. She helped heal my voice without surgery, during the healing process as I kept training with her, I learned to sing properly without hurting myself ever again. Within a few months I was back out singing again, more cautiously of course as my voice slowly came back. I am currently singing regularly for hours at a time. My voice is better than ever in my life, as I get older I thought it would get weaker but it just seems to get better and better the more I sing. In all my years before training with Judy Hages my voice was in control of me and I lacked confidence because I never knew if i would hit that note or not, or would I make it through the night and still have a voice by the end. With this training and with Judy's help. I'm now in control of my voice. Judy is so passionate about the voice and it's obvious when you first meet her you will never find anyone who is more dedicated to her students. Singing is more than an art form, it's a way of life and standards that we set for ourselves and how we want to live our lives as singers. I would rather be singing beautiful music that touches peoples lives than anything else. Judy gave me back my voice and my life. Because of her, I have never felt so fulfilled.

I have studied with Judy Hages for 10 years and she is excellent. I was primarily a guitarist and I just started studying voice because I would lose my voice when I sang out. Judy taught me how to take care of my instrument, I sang out over 100 shows last year and never lost my voice once and she taught me how to sing with artistry and beauty and to get the richest tone possible. The technique she teaches is very serious and will give you your life if you follow it. read more
