As a professional singer, she has helped me safely roar out the rock tunes and ballads, and taught me how to smooth out my registers, etc. Laura is professional, competent, and knows how to help people with their vocal-goals! Highly recommended!

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!

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.

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.

I have been lucky enough to have Ally Jo as my coach over the past year, and I have to say, she is…read morethe best teacher one could imagine. She is a subject matter expert in method and voice and her passion and excitement for music are palpable. I look forward to my lessons each week, knowing that I will always learn something new and challenging. She has taught me the value that dedicated focus and practice bring to vocals, and is always patient and consistent in providing feedback to help me improve. She takes into account what kind of learner each student is and works to shape lesson plans to match. She believes in her students' abilities through and through. Recently, I have been practicing towards singing at a close friend's wedding. She helped me deliver a solid performance (yay!!), supporting me in each step along the way (from practicing the song and making it my own, to working to curate and record a backing track/adjusting the track to a key that works well with my voice, to printing the song with annotation, to microphone practice, to helping me access an iPad holder for the performance, to tips and tricks to pursue in the weeks/days/and hours before the performance. She thought of it all! She even sent me some tips the day of and made sure I knew she was there to support me with any last minute questions. I feel proud and confident that I met my goal, which wouldn't have been possible without Ally Jo's guidance and care. Really - if you're looking for a vocal coach in the Portland area - do yourself a favor and look no further than Ally Jo!!
