I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this place. I recently moved to Vancouver, Washington as a…read moreMaster Esthetician just graduating a 450 hour program of schooling. Fast forward a few months after moving I received a dream job offer at a medical spa that has a location in both Washington and Oregon meaning I needed my Certified Advanced Esthetic license with the state of Oregon to perform the treatments we offer at the spa. Unfortunately hours from Washington to Oregon don't completely have reciprocity between the two, which means I needed to work with a school to make up hours (a CAE license is 500 hours of schooling meaning I had to make up 50 hours). When I tell you I reached out to MULTIPLE schools in Oregon to try and find even a little help to point me in the right direction, Michele at the Advanced Esthetics Institute not only responded to me very quickly EAGER to help me, she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that she could help me get my CAE license without any hesitation, and made me feel so comfortable coming to her with any questions regarding this situation. She truly was the only school/person that even seemed to want to help me so I am so so thankful for that - even though I live 2+ hours away from this school, I knew it would be worth every penny and mile to make up time to get my license. From the start, Michele and her employees were always so kind, timely, responsive, and truly made me feel so welcomed and understood with the situation I was going through. Michele even helped find me accommodations when I would drive down weekly, and always checked in to make sure I had everything I needed. Knowing how they treated me (doing me the favor), I can't even imagine how they treat their student and clients - I promise whether you are looking to get treatments, or looking to attend this school you will 100000% not regret it - you will get the best experience regardless! Thank you so much Michele, Bailey, Andrew, Chandler, & Ale from the bottom of my heart, you will always have a friend in me! I am so thankful for everything you all did to help me, you are truly one of a kind! This place feels like home, and I can't wait to come back and visit everyone here!

I cannot say enough good and wonderful things about Marieke…read more I have been a musical theatre, singer, and voice over actor for over 10 years. I have taken lessons. Gone to school. Private instructions. Done all that. Marieke is the only one that has helped me with break issues and learning how to bridge the gaps in my voice. She uses the Alexander Technique, and tries to pinpoint WHY we're having problems performing, rather than band-aiding it. She takes the time to LEARN you, how you think, how you perform, how you're holding yourself back, and how we can get to where we wanna go. You HAVE to commit some time, and obviously funds, but I think if you're committed to your passion, she is the best investment you can make in yourself. I feel so lucky to be under her instruction.

I've been a professional singer for many years, performed nationally and internationally and have…read morestudied with various voice teachers over the years, each with very different styles/techniques. Marieke Schuurs (Cantare Voice Studio) is the most professional instructor I have ever worked with and also the most generous spirit. I've had teachers who were really just frustrated vocalists ("those who can't do teach"), and I've had teachers who guarded their techniques as if they alone held the key to musical fame ("no recorders allowed, you might go sell my secret"). In those cases the lessons were more about the teacher than the student. Marieke is the exact opposite. She encourages you to record each lesson and re-listen to it, practice with it between lessons. She customizes each lesson, identifying exactly what your body and voice are struggling with that day. There's nothing "cookie-cutter" or mass-produced about her technique. She is incredibly perceptive and can fine-tune tiny elements of your posture, breathing or pronunciation to release the voice you always knew you had in there but didn't know how to make it come out. She also continues to train her own voice, knowing that there is always more to learn and that even the most professional musician can always continue to hone their craft. If you're a beginning singer who can barely hold a note, she's the perfect teacher to start with ... avoid years of struggle by learning good technique early. If you're a seasoned professional, she can enhance what you already do well, help break any bad habits you may have developed and take some of the "work" out of it, releasing rich effortless tone. If you're serious about singing and want to get as good as you can be, take advantage of the opportunity to study with Marieke. She's nurturing, encouraging and delivers results.
