After taking voice lessons for a solid 10 years, including at one of the best contemporary music schools in the world, I can safely say Saundra stands head and shoulders above the competition. It's almost absurd how effective lessons with her are - they change the way you think about singing and give me the tools to accomplish some of those things you strive for for years. In just a few lessons I feel I have much more control and freedom with my voice, my range has expanded and my performances are more expressive. It sounds too good to be true but I see it happen again and again; the growth of her students between showcases is exponential, and her prices are beyond reasonable given what I've payed in the past for significantly worse results. Truly can't recommend enough, whether you're a beginner or a pro. read more

Saundra is simply amazing! I wish I could give more than the 5 star rating yelp designates for excellence because I would give her an infinite amount of stars. Saundra has been working with my daughter for several years and you can see my daughter's growth from a technical and performance perspective. She knows exactly what my daughter needs to improve on and provides the right vocal exercises to help my daughter grow as a singer.My daughter's vocal range has also grown(she can belt but I also see how controlled it is now especially when she reaches the higher notes). My daughter is also super excited that her "mix voice" is getting stronger at such a young age along with her head voice. I have also seen my daughter's confidence level grow in such a positive way. My daughter's dream is to one day be on Broadway! She is very involved in the musical theater world. She also goes to a performing arts school. In all of my daughter's auditions, Saundra has been instrumental in helping her nail the audition. My daughter has landed so many leads in productions because of her training with Saundra. My daughter also loves to sing pop songs and Saundra has also helped her with that type of genre of music. My daughter recently received a standing ovation at her school talent show slaying an Alicia Keys song! Whenever I post on social media a video of my daughter singing, we get thousands of views and likes.The comments and praises we receive are outstanding!!! Saundra also is such a positive, beautiful and kind person. She connects with people and her bond and connection with my daughter is so real, special and profound. My daughter lights up and looks forward to her vocal lessons. Now my younger son recently started vocal lessons with Saundra and we are so excited to see his growth and personal journey. You can see Saundra's passion for singing and it radiates in all she does. Her voice is INCREDIBLE and we love when we get a chance to hear her sing. She is simply a GEM and we are so lucky to have her. I feel in my heart that my daughter will continue to shine in her musical journey and that her journey will lead to big things. And we know Saundra will be there every step of the way! read more

Singing has always been something that I loved but I never felt safe doing. Because of that, I have been studying voice my whole life. I have paid and overpaid for voice lessons from musical "geniuses" and I still found that I felt more insecure than ever. My positive experience with Saundra started when she opened the door. She greeted me so warmly and began some helpful and easy warm ups. She educated me about my voice in ways that I had never thought of it while being understanding and kind about it. Once I had begun singing, she so sweetly began to reassure me about qualities of my voice that I felt were bad. She helped me use them to my advantage and made me see them as unique and beautiful instead. In just 45minutes with some simple tricks, patience, and encouragement, I sang stronger and more beautifully than I had ever been able to in the past. Saundra is such an incredible teacher and I have been telling all my singer friends to take lessons from her. Because I have had so much experience with different voice lessons and instructors, I can confidently say that you would not regret trusting your voice with her. I can't wait to go back!! read more

I have known Saundra almost 4 years now. Saundra is a very well rounded person and teacher with lots of experience. Not only passing her knowledge to her students, but she also has the ability to listen to student's needs, recognize the students strength very quickly and help her student developing them in a super fun way to achieve their goals. Vocal warm up is the most important thing that she will emphasize to make sure that your vocal cord is taken care of (right technique of singing), getting enough warm up before starting a song and stretch to bigger range over the time before you start learning your repertoires in a healthy way of singing. She is one a very rare kind of teacher you can find around because she is not only a great vocal coach, she is also an incredible human being that can connect with you and simply makes you feel comfortable being around her. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a vocal coach and ready to bring your skill to another level. read more

Saundra is the most amazing voice teacher I've ever worked with, and I've worked with MANY! I'm a professional vocalist and have been struggling with vocal tension and vocal health problems, and Saundra helped me get to a place where I can sing longer and with ease, no more pain! She's also helped me develop my mix register and my head voice, and to belt more safely. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned vocalist, I highly recommend Saundra. She also happens to be a wonderful human being and is so kind. The learning environment she creates is so safe and nurturing, but also inspiring and motivating. Definitely go to Saundra for voice lessons!! read more

200% would recommend. I've been taking lessons with Saundra for a few years now. My voice has really grown with her. She's also a quick thinker during times when I'm having trouble singing certain notes. The tips she gives and techniques she teaches always work for me. She even found certain things in my lifestyle and diet that were causing trouble for my voice. It's nice to have a voice teacher who is so knowledgeable. Plus, if on the rare occasion she doesn't know the answer, she will do her research and come back knowing how to help. She's very talented outside of teaching, too. I watched her perform live in theatre. Pure excellence to say the least. Her ability astounds me. #Goals Let's see what else. Excellent teacher. Amazing talent. Ah yes, she's a wonderful human being as well. She is kind, understanding, and positive even when you know she isn't feeling her best. When she arrives, it's like someone dropped a musical sunbeam on your doorstep. She's really everything you could want and more in a voice teacher. Five yelp stars are not enough. Perhaps all the stars in the universe will suffice. Just give her ALL the stars. read more

Saundra is absolutely amazing. I've worked with her a couple of times before an audition and have received callbacks. She's really helped me understand the dynamics of my voice and to build the different levels of my voice. If you're a singer or want to be a singer, you must work with her. read more

I've been going to Saundra for almost 6 months now and have never been happier with a vocal coach. In the past with other instructors, i've been extremely disappointed, but with Saundra I always leave a better vocalist than when I walked through the door. Saundra makes you feel at ease, and is extremely interactive at every single lesson. I always learn something new that changes me as a vocalist. She's gone above and beyond when preparing me for auditions as well as live performances. She literally strengthens you from head to toe, inside and out to become a better vocalist. She also incorporates knowledge of theory and learning to have a better ear. Because of Saundra, I've become a better live vocalist as well as in a recording studio. She teaches you the vocabulary and the skills to breeze through studio sessions (which we all know costs can add up when time is wasted). I cannot be more thankful and fulfilled by her brilliance and ability to understand me as a singer. She has instilled in me the knowledge and confidence to be the best version of myself as a performer. I have recommended at least 3 other friends to Saundra who are equally, if not happier, than I am to meet with her weekly. Saundra has contributed to my life and passion in ways that no other professional has ever done, and of that, I am extremely thankful. read more

In just a few short months, Saundra has made a significant impact on my life in many ways. She is a knowledgeable, attentive and encouraging teacher. She has the ability to create an environment where students feel safe to experiment, to grow and to stretch emotionally through singing. She helped me find my voice and that has made me a stronger person. Saundra's lessons are fun and professional at the same time. She has a thorough understanding of many styles of music as well as performance. And she has the skills to accommodate a wide range of students and abilities. read more

A 5 star rating is simply not enough! I've worked with Saundra for several years now and I can't say enough great things about her. As a human, as an educator, as a vocalist. We've recorded together on projects and she teaches my daughter voice lessons and i'm always amazed (though never surprised) at the results. She's taken my daughter's singing and, more importantly, her confidence to a whole new level! read more

Saundra is a formidable talent as a musician and an equally gifted teacher. I have had the privilege of taking voice lessons with her, and she has an endless bag of tricks up her sleeve to help you get out of your head and into your voice. I'm a classically-trained opera singer who wanted to learn how to sing pop and musical theater with ease, and I got exactly what I needed from Saundra! She has helped me access parts of my voice that I didn't even know I had, all with expert guidance and care for vocal health. Her energy and passion ate infectious, and you will immediately feel comfortable around her. If you're looking to take your vocals to the next level, Saundra is your girl! read more

Saundra is fantastic! She has been providing my daughter with voice lessons for about two years now and is really incredible. She is so knowledgeable about the vocal instrument (she realized my daughter had nodules on her vocal chords) and took her all the way through her recovery! She teaches technique, control, confidence and a basic love for all types of music. And when she opens her mouth to sing...it's like an angelic bird just entered my house! I cannot say enough about her...this should be a ten star rating! read more

"Saundra and I were introduced to each other because of our common love of music. At first I did not know she taught voice, but I soon learned how much knowledge she had for the art. Because I have trained with some with some of the most prolific voice teachers in the world, from Andy Anselmo in New York and Dean Kalein in Utah, I was a little unsure what she could bring to the table. Both of these teachers had improved my voice and taught me confidence in my instrument. 15 minutes into our first lesson, I knew Saundra was different. Her ability to connect with a musician in very black and white terms is truly a gift She is able to able to teach in away that takes the mystery out of the process. Because she is also a performer, she has the ability to bring greatness and clarity to my own performances. This incredible woman is my favorite Voice teacher to date. I recommend her whole heartedly to everyone I know." read more

Its hard to put my appreciation for Saundra's talent into a review, but Ill try. I'm a music producer/engineer working in Los Angeles and Saundra has worked with me as a session vocalist, a vocal coach (for other singers i'm recording), and a songwriter. Im amazed by her flexibility with various genres and her ability to make anyone feel comfortable and confident while performing. Ive never considered myself a vocalist, but just recently began taking vocal lessons with Saundra out of curiosity (Ive seen/heard the progress of so many other students). The improvement in my control and range in just a few weeks is much more than I expected. The way she teaches hasn't just given me more command over my singing but in my general speaking voice as well. Ive seen how Saundra works with both seasoned professionals and complete novices. No matter what level you're at I highly recommend working with her. read more

Aside from being an incredible individual, Saundra is an absolutely remarkable instructor. It's rare to find someone who really crafts each lesson specifically for you. Everybody's voice is different so everyone should get a different education. Saundra understands that. She's taught me how to listen to my own voice; how to find sounds I didn't know were possible; how to gain and harness confidence so I can continue to improve. Her love and passion for music and teaching is contagious. It's FUN to take lessons. It doesn't feel like something you have to do, it's something you WANT to do, something you look forward to. read more

My daughter started vocal lessons with Saundra two and a half years ago and it has made such a difference in her singing. I was skeptical about vocal lessons for my child at first because I didn't want to begin this process when she was too young. Saundra has been the perfect fit for us in every way. She knows exactly how to work with young voices and gives them proper techniques early, which not only improves their changing voices, but keeps them from injuring their vocal chords. The warm-up techniques and every trick she has learned has given my daughter a much wider range vocally than we could ever have imagined. We were thrilled to find a teacher who had a wealth of experience and training in musical theater and would be able to give my daughter a vast amount of options with her knowledge of contemporary and classic musicals. Saundra's extensive knowledge about all types of music have made it possible for my daughter to work on many types of material. Her wisdom about classical choir singing as well as pop, jazz, and everything in between makes her quite unique. She is easily able to transition from one musical genre to another effortlessly and with a great amount of skill and knowledge. In addition, Saundra has also been wonderful as my vocal teacher. Using the techniques Saundra teaches so well, I have become a much better singer and have gained confidence in my own performances. She is so easy to work with and has such a lovely and energetic personality. Both my daughter and I absolutely adore working with her and she is always encouraging and able to bring her students to a whole new level of ability and confidence. She's such a lovely human being as well, it makes working with her a genuine pleasure. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a vocal teacher! read more
