In just a couple classes, she helped me transform my fear of singing into an absolute joy.

In my mind, my experience with my voice is very palpable under her guidance. She knows I struggle to use my voice, so here it goes bec I finally dare to share my gratitude. Deborah is a kind and compassionate coach who understood my reluctance to sing and speak in public due to my subconscious fears now realized. She found a way to meet my voice where it was and gently yet patiently allowed me to explore it in a safe environment. I no longer believe my voice is a separate part of my body; instead, I feel it through my whole body, mind, AND spirit. And I don't think that my lessons with her are work - only fun. And as an adult, it seems I have lost my sense of play. However, my lessons with Deborah always remind me that it's time to play!

He does a great job explaining things in a way that's easy to understand, even getting into the anatomy of how the voice works, which I found really helpful.

Overall, I've had a great experience and would definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking to improve their singing in a supportive and welcoming environment.

I took singing lessons with Joann for over a year. I know she offers group classes too, but I did…read morethe 1:1 45 minute individualized lessons. I was a complete novice, and loved the fact that I could bring whatever songs I wanted to sing, and she'll figure out how to help me achieve my goals, giving me homework like "practice your meows!". I improved a lot over the time with her, and figured out how to find different positions to produce different types of sounds. She's also flexible, I travel a lot, and she offers Zoom lessons or async lessons (you send videos to her, she send videos back of her feedback). She also formed a great community with her students, and we do group karaoke, dinners/outings etc, so the connection goes beyond lessons. I know she offers different packages (e.g. group classes) based on your time commitment and cost expectations, so I definitely suggest going over the options and figuring out what works for you.

Joann is a business woman. Money is all that matters to her. We just did a trial lesson with her…read more During the lesson, she stopped to remind me that I owe her $10 for the balance of the trial lesson. This already gave a red flag to me. She wants to secure your payment before anything else. She also has contracts that you need to adhere to for 6months. The contract does not include or indicate any cancellation policy so I presumed you will be obligated to stay and pay her for six months no matter what, even if you decide to stop in the middle. She does not give refunds. I paid her for the first month for a supposed youth group lesson, my son only went once. We're supposed to bring in the signed contract on the first day but I forgot so kept on reminding us to bring it. I find it excessive and sketchy.This made me decide not to commit. It seems to me she has to secure the payments first before teaching. I have no doubts that she can teach, of course she can, although you can never find any music school she went or any proof of formal training she claimed . I believe she just teaches by experience. I kept on looking at her numerous pages in fb,youtube, yelp and google but I can't find anything that says where she went for music school. All you can see is her experience as a singer and musician.One more thing,the studio is in her house. When students arrive for their timed lessons, they have to wait at the door standing and wait for her to let them in. She should provide at least chairs for those kids to sit. By the way I mentioned she does not give refunds but she does offer credits for you use it however you want it, private lessons or other stuff she offers(there are a lot).We refused the services she offered, I'll just count my loss. Too much commercial transactions, she's gearing away from the purpose of why students go to her.

She really leaned into the music and style my daughter wanted to explore which made lessons fun yet educational in her explanation of technique. The quality of coaching was top notch for a novice and from what I researched, and can now assume, would be even for a seasoned vocal artist. Communicating with her was always clear and timely, and she was very proactive and flexible when there were upcoming schedule adjustments. I only have great things to say about our experience -- we only stopped lessons due to my daughter wanting to focus on other activities, which Pauline was also very understanding and encouraging about. If you're like me and are looking for a vocal coach in the Mountain View/Los Altos area I know there are a small handful of results coming up in your search. We chose Pauline and couldn't have been happier with our choice!

She has deep knowledge of the anatomy and physics involved in producing sound, and she somehow makes it a ton of fun to learn about how it all works. Best of all, my singing has improved by leaps and bounds. Rocio teaches flow-phonation, and this method has freed my voice in a way that I hadn't thought possible. I can sing for hours now (I'm a performing musician) without vocal fatigue. Further, using Rocio's techniques, I can do things with my voice that I've never been able to do before -- I have much more vocal flexibility and range now. And I'm sixty years old! In addition to my voice lessons with Rocio, I've also really enjoyed her group classes in Vocal Science. She's a gifted teacher, facile with all of the audio/video technology (colorful slides, short videos) that helps to keep a group of students engaged. She encourages questions and can answer them to just about any level of detail. So much knowledge! And her warm, energetic personality shines through, which makes learning a real pleasure! I highly recommend Rocio Guitard Vocal Studio!
