In addition, I have my post-baccalaureate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Pacific University, and have a great amount of insight into the physiology of the human voice and the science of sound. After many years of studying vocal physiology and using this information in my own singing, as well as that of my students, I have come to believe strongly in the value of learning everything you can about the way your voice works. Although we all have a unique vocal tone, we also have a lot of control over the sounds we make through placement, support, air flow, vowel choice, mouth shape and dynamics. When people ask me if their voice is good enough to sing, I always say a resounding YES! I think singing is for everybody, and I love the process of helping my students find their authentic sound.

I enjoy my lessons and the challenges she gives me. Some people only teach the basics she goes way beyond that.

Andrea and her guitar accompanist performed three songs during our wedding ceremony. Two of them…read morethey had to learn - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (the Israel Kamakawiwoole version) and "You Are the Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne. They freakin' nailed it! It was so, so, SOOOO incredibly beautiful that numerous guests asked who she was and said that they'd gotten goosebumps listening to her warm, comforting, lyrical voice. The best compliment from the wedding was from my now spouse. She did NOT want to hire live music for our wedding - so our compromise was to have Andrea for the ceremony and a DJ for the rest. Well, after the wedding had ended and we were leaving, she said, "You were right. We should have hired her for the whole thing. She was phenomenal!" I'd also like to add that in addition to being an amazing vocalist, Andrea brings a calm and extremely kind personality to an otherwise stressful time. She was so easy to talk to and meet up with.

I can't say enough amazing things about working with Kevin! From day one, he has been incredibly…read morepatient, encouraging, and inspiring. Kevin has a gift for breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-understand steps -- making both voice and guitar feel approachable and fun. I am sure it helps that Kevin has been a performer much of his life and takes absolute joy in what he does. His passion for music is contagious, and he brings so much energy and positivity into every session. I always leave lessons feeling not only more skilled but also more motivated and excited to practice. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, talented, and genuinely supportive instructor who will help you unlock your potential and fall even more in love with music, I can't recommend Kevin highly enough. He's the real deal! Love working with you Kevin!

Matthew manages to balance professional/fun/inspiring/rigorous in a way that many music teachers…read moredon't quite get. My son started voice lessons at VOX via Zoom during 2020, transitioning to in-person for several weeks before heading off to college. He loved all of it and those Monday night lessons were a lifeline for him as his other choirs and school music classes were postponed due to COVID. His confidence grew, and he was accepted into his college's competitive top choir as a freshman (Matthew also helped him with his college admissions' supplementary vocal performance materials and he landed a vocal scholarship). The recitals are great milestones and provide a real sense of community despite the age and experience differences. I'd recommend him to any one at any level.

She has worked with several instructors over time, including Bex, Ari, and Luciana, and every single one has been amazing. Right now she is taking lessons with Sam, and we highly recommend him! He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always brings such a great vibe to the lessons. We can clearly see my daughter's progress, and it is obvious that he genuinely cares and gets so excited seeing how much she has improved (whenever she learns something new or finally masters a piece they have been working on, you can see the joy on his face). If you are lucky, you may be able to get a spot with him! NOte: He occasionally goes on tour with his band (which I think is awesome), but even when substitute instructors step in, the experience has always been great.
