Brian is hands-down one of the best vocal coaches out there. He really understands the anatomy and…read morescience behind singing, and he explains what's happening in your body in a way that makes it easy to understand and recreate on your own. He's not cheap, but he's absolutely worth it if you want to learn efficiently instead of spending money on endless lessons that don't move the needle. I've been learning from him for almost a year, and I've learned so much more in that time than I did in four years at another studio. Thanks Brian!!

A little update here on yelp. It's only been four lessons, but I just wanted to take a moment to…read moreappreciate you by saying thank you very much for doing what you do!!! Music has always been there for me through many difficult parts of my life, but I've always felt like there was this gap between music and I that I could never close. I never felt like I had any talent to immerse myself, or further myself in it. Always just singing to myself, or when I'm alone, because that's the only time I have the courage to explore my voice. I have to say I've never felt this great singing before and it's only been four lessons. This year for me is big on self investment and rediscovering myself and where my interests/passion lies. You've gotta take some risks in life sometimes and taking a chance on vocal lessons with you has been by far one of the best decisions I've made in a while!. I'm still super stoked and I'm looking forward to what's to come!! Thanks voice dad!

She's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough.

If you're struggling with vocal tension or MTD, Paloma is someone you absolutely want on your team.

Paloma is a seasoned professional with an absolutely beautiful voice, and she made the entire process approachable, easy to digest, and genuinely fun. She taught me how the voice truly works--breath support, diaphragm use, vocal anatomy, resonance, tongue placement, and effective exercises that rebuilt my voice with care and intention. Her depth of knowledge is exceptional, yet she explains everything in a way that feels clear and accessible. Most importantly, I felt extremely comfortable and supported every step of the way. Thanks to Paloma's expertise, patience, and encouragement, I was able to deliver a heartfelt and beautiful tribute to my mother. If you are returning to singing after time away or preparing for something truly meaningful, I cannot recommend Paloma highly enough.

I look forward to lesson with Aretha every week. Singing in a studio where I can hear my voice through a microphone clearly is definitely very helpful ! She gives me the exercises that caters to my voice, and have different ways to help me get 'that' note. I learned to appreciate the vocal art much more through her guidance, listening to healthy and soulful singing. Highly recommend Aretha for anyone who looks for a coach that inspires you to continuosly train and master the arts of singing!

I am a professional vocalist myself, and I've been experiencing various vocal issues. Within one 45 minute lesson, Aretha had my voice connecting and relaxed, and I was able to sing and find notes that had been gone for weeks. She is incredibly intuitive, experienced, educated and compassionate. I have studied with many? many people and I can comfortably say that she is the best. Also, you do not have to be a professional singer to benefit from her expertise. Anyone who is a public speaker, a school, teacher, pastor, or anyone who uses their voice can benefit from her techniques and practices. thank you so much Aretha and I can't wait to work with you again!

I have been taking lessons with Sherry for about six months now and it has been truly a…read moretransformative experience. Sherry is a professional, kind, patient and supportive teacher with a passion for singing and performing. She has been able to bring me out of my shell and help me grow both as a singer and an individual. I had previously taken a few lessons with another teacher but felt like I didn't learn anything because the teacher had these convoluted explanations of techniques and how the voice works. Sherry makes it easy to understand and accessible. Her lessons are a combination of vocal warm-ups, method and then working on a song of your choice. Her lessons are incredibly fun and therapeutic. Sometimes when I feel tired or stressed after work, after her lessons I find myself feeling relaxed or re-energized. Taking lessons with her has really improved my self confidence. When I first started working with her, whenever she asked me what song I'd like to sing I'd often say "I want to do this song, but I don't think I can" and she would tell me she thinks I can and we can work on it together. Then we would break down the song and apply techniques where I can overcome my weaknesses and play to my strengths. She provides constructive criticism and gives you just enough of a push to grow without being too harsh. I find myself being able to sing songs that I previously struggled with or never thought I'd be able to sing. Sherry also puts on a recital for her students every quarter so that her students would have a chance to experience performing in front of an audience.If you choose to perform, she will coach you on stage presence and performance. It's a worthwhile experience to help conquer any stage fright you might have in front of a non-judgmental and supportive audience.

I started taking lessons with Sherry with no prior singing experience and had no idea what to expect. Over the past few weeks I've thoroughly enjoyed each and every lesson to the fullest and have noticed drastic improvements within a short time period (my highest note went from E5 to C6 in 6 weeks!). She's very good at explaining the mechanics and nuances of proper singing technique and is able to consistently point me in the right direction while creating a safe space for me to feel comfortable enough to explore my voice. Starting to take lessons with Sherry has been one of the best decisions I've ever made! Singing is so fun :)
