However, Marianna made me feel totally at ease, had me laughing, singing and learning instantly. Her teaching style is confident, compassionate, technical but fun and inspiring! Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just looking to get in to singing I would strongly recommend Marianna. I've taken lessons from other instructors in the bay and she has easily been the best!

We're so happy we found her and would absolutely recommend her to any parents looking for a piano teacher for their child. 10 out of 10!

She also is able to assess where exactly I am vocally, so that she doesn't push me too hard and get me frustrated and she doesn't leave me bored because the material is not challenging enough. She accesses that sweet spot. Her voice is incredible and it is a joy to get to listen to her sing, which she will do sometimes if I ask. I love also going out to see her in her public performances. She has brought me from not being able to sing at all to being a lot more confident and able to carry a tune. And I even noticed changes in my speaking voice. I'm going to continue with Anna for a long time. I can't wait to see where she can take my voice in the future!

Playing guitar is in my zone, but I am not a trained singer; hence, I started searching for singing coaches on the Internet. I found HEATHERVOX. She had a lot of positive reviews; hence, I scheduled a session with her; and, I am so happy I did. - She has a beautiful singing voice; and, she immediately assessed my singing competency baseline. - She immediately started me on vocal techniques that quickly controlled the movement of my neck, mouth, and vocal cords. Most importantly, she taught me the importance of relaxing the vocal cords throughout the octaves. - After 40 minutes of teaching proper singing techniques and using the techniques she taught me going up and down scales, it was time to apply the techniques to a song. - I sang, Here Comes The Sun, by the Beatles; and, I was amazed -- I immediately noticed the improvement in my singing -- now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't just "add boiling water and instant noodles" kind-of- thing, but it was a drastic and noticeable improvement in my singing voice. I still have a lot of work and practice to do. Now, I have more controlled volume, my voice is more robust, colorful, and dimensional, AND I am able to hit higher notes easier without strain. I was also amazed with the added tone quality Heather gave me through her singing techniques. Heather recorded my session; hence, I have a starting baseline of my singing voice. I can track my progress. I also have recordings of the techniques she taught me; so, I can replicate them while doing my homework. I have 6 months from today, 23-January-2025, to get my singing skills on-point; hence, I am 100% certain, working with Heather, will get me to my goal. I scheduled additional appointments with her, and she gave me homework and exercises to work on before my next session. I really enjoy the straw exercise -- extremely helpful. Finally, I like that Heather has good business ethics. She assessed my progress and gave me a class schedule that matched her forecast of my progress within the 6 months -- she didn't try to sell me more lessons than I needed. I'm very happy working with Heather to get me to my singing goals for this feature film. Check 6! /s/ Alfonso Faustino

If you want your kids to advance in piano or any music instruments in a normal pace. This is not…read morethe place. The owners seem to care about fulfilling there teacher's schedule more than the students individual growth. As there are big gaps between teachers quality as well. Some are ok some are horrible. It depends on your luck. Of course they would tell you these teacher is specially selected for you base on your kid's whatever but in reality. The owners seem is the best teacher but they pick their student very selectively. Only the best will get into their schedule. Other's they don't care. I would never send my kid to music schools like that again. Will always get the individual teacher in the future. Amanda, My son got pass the ABRSM with distinction is mostly because of his hard-work. I want to add that your school and the teacher didn't informed us there will be a fourth song that needed to play during exam until a week before the actual exam. That being said. This shows how inexperience the teacher is and your school didn't bother to let us know as we have plan this months prior. My son only had a week to practice a bring new song before the exam and that really stress out the entire family and fortunately our son pulled it off. Again. All you care is fulfilling your teacher's schedule over the independent students growth as you have many students with many teachers who sometimes comes and go fairly quickly. I am not saying you don't care about your students but we feel we didn't get enough attention as we feel independent teacher would be a much better choice for parents who wants more growth for their kids in time.

Todd has gotten the kids hooked on playing music over the years, as he finds songs in their musical taste (and beyond) that have inspired them to grow and not only learn, but look forward to their weekly lessons and enjoy playing for the sake of playing when they have downtime, want to jam with friends, or take the edge off homework stress. Francesca, who runs the show, is extremely responsive and sets up a fun spring recital where the kids get to perform in front of a crowd. Both kids have also done Hummingbird's excellent summer Rock Band Camp multiple times -- that's a blast that ends with the kids playing a mini three to four song live set.
