I have had a pleasure of studying with Evelyn La Quaif and I can confidently say that she is an…read moreoutstanding voice teacher.

I am a practicing physician and a perpetual student of singing. For more than fifty years, I have…read morebeen continuously taking vocal lessons from many professional singers. I typically switched after three years when my progress would plateau after the same study routines. I have been studying with Miss Evelyn LaQuaif for the past 20 years and am happily surprised that in my mid-seventies, I am singing my very best and still improving. Most of my previous teachers gave me metaphoric inspiration, as I would hopelessly imitate their better voices. But how could I get there? Miss LaQuaif is the only one who taught me the physical mechanics of good singing. She offers details that are palpable and teaches hands on: "Belly breathing...use your ribs...your tongue is too loose...guide your voice with your hand...oh, you forgot to rest..." Miss LaQuaif is a multi-talented artist that has that rare talent and sensitivity to feel and guide the students' muscle coordination -- minute details of tongue, palate, throat, and diaphragm that are invisible to ordinary people's external observation. She has the ear and mental conception for what is naturally beautiful in the student's voice. Her method of teaching is creative and often changing. The result: a strengthening of the singing muscles and shedding counterproductive habits that have stood in the student's way. Throw in a little psychology, human empathy, and a profound respect of the art of singing -- then you may sense what Miss LaQuaif is like as a teacher. -JCWM

I love this theater. They have very affordable events here. I've been here a few times and it's…read morealways been a great experience. It very nice inside. I like how the seats are placed at levels. It's very roomy and the comfortable. They don't offer any food, and I don't blame them because you're never really there that long. I say check out the website to see what they got going on. It's always a fun time. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping!

My son had a cello recital here after months of cello lessons under the harmony program. This…read morelocation is easy to get to and a very nice size. The restrooms were clean and the people here were nice and helpful. Be careful walking down the steps, i almost fell but it is because i am clumsy. I've also come to several concerts here like the salsa one and freestyle. Great local location for concerts and shows

I am biased. I've done two shows with the company and so my perspective is from the inside out and…read moreI admit that freely. So for those of you who are looking to work with a great company, eat great Cuban sandwiches next door at the Cafe, this place is perfect!

This theatre troupe is terrible. Their adaptation/production of "The War of the Worlds", written by…read moretroupe's head, was absolutely the worst play I've ever been to. For a play targeted in large part to families with small children, it had a bizarrely high number of uses of the n-word - though that was the least of its crimes. The production of "Othello" earlier this summer was fairly miserable, too. I live about two blocks away from the park, and I will never make the minor effort to see another production of this theatre company ever again. They thoroughly suck.

Just a terrific experience. I would highly recommend the Inwood Shakespeare Festival to anyone…read morewho would enjoy sitting in a beautiful setting outdoors, and watching talented people who are truly passionate about their craft. That's everyone, right??

As a guitar enthusiast I'm super impressed by how good his technique is and he can play some really difficult music, but make it sound elegant and easy. Would 100% recommend!

Despite how last-minute it was, he dove in head-first, learning the music we needed him to learn, accommodating our requests, and being flexible with our questions and changes. The music itself was played so beautifully (it brought my now-husband who never cries to tears!!) and perfectly, it felt like we hired him a year out as opposed to only a month. Thank you, Austin, for stepping in when we needed you and helping make our ceremony that much more special!
