I moved to Encinitas in February of 2018 and had searched Yelp/Google for voice lessons. As the…read moresaying goes, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Kristina is so much more than I ever could have imagined! She is talented, a skilled and structured teacher, kind & encouraging. I love her holistic approach! My range/technique improved immediately & I notice improvement each week. I've also experienced a deeper level of healing through embodying my voice in the safe space that she provides. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for singing lessons.

My son has been going to Miss Alison since he was about 7-years old, so the last 4 years. I have a really limited knowledge of playing music on an instrument, so I'm not going to get technical here however I will say I am constantly amazed at what my son has learned and knows about music because of Miss Alison. To have my son be able to read music, tune his ukulele, write and arrange original music and sing on key while playing -- this is awesome! Miss Alison's energy, experience and easy-going attitude is just so great to keep my son involved and interested. My son hears a song and then we're seeing if she has the sheet music to play it, and then he's playing it. From the Beattles to twenty-one pilots to Bob Marley to DEVO to Bobby McFerrin, my son is strumming and plucking along. Like I said, I want an 11!

I've been working with Vanessa on and off for one year now and without hesitation will state that…read moreher instruction, guidance, and support is well worth the investment and time. I was trying to transition from an instrumentalist (guitar) to a singer/songwriter. I wanted to sing, but was very apprehensive of my vocals so I took the step to seek professional instruction. I was initially wary of the going rates for one-on-one vocal/music instruction so I chose very carefully based on what information I could get about a handful of instructors in the San Diego area. Vanessa's web presence was unique and personal; describing her aspirations, influences, and credentials in a very stylized way. I liked her style instantly and felt this was someone I could relate to. What you will find with Vanessa is someone that is keen on picking up on the nuances of her students ways of learning, and providing undivided attention and encouragement. There is nothing textbook about her teaching style, however her knowledge is solid and deep. Rather a mentor with the best advice and encouragement; exactly what I was looking for. I leave every session feeling more confident with added suggestions/tasks on how to progress. She has encouraged me to read insightful books on songwriting and musicianship, critiqued and improved my own work, paid close attention to the genres and styles that I wanted to attain, vocal exercises and all that, but most of all she has the patience of a saint and a desire to truly provide paths to my improvement. Beyond vocal work, I also wanted to patch up my music theory and decided to do this while taking on the piano (knowing that I could transfer the same concepts over to my guitar). Vanessa is an excellent and accomplished pianist and songwriter with a free flowing style. I already have the dexterity and knew the direction where I wanted my piano music to go so we were quickly able to get through my gaps of theory, apply it, understand, make it click.. and improve my songwriting through the piano and while on my own into the guitar. To mention, I've also sent my daughter to her for instruction and musical awareness whenever I couldn't make a session or had extra budget. I didn't ask her specifically to teach piano but to help me encourage music in general with her. After these sessions my daughter comes home and thoughtfully plays on the keyboard, experimenting, starting to put together melodies. When/if she decides she wants consistent weekly instruction I trust Vanessa to be a good choice. Vanessa is a bright star above a sea of options.

I started with pretty much no experience and Vanessa helped me grow to finally being comfortable with my singing voice, to where I could sing in front of people. This was no easy task as I was always super self conscious of my voice, but Vanessa provided a judgement free learning environment. Highly suggest to anyone trying to learn to sing and make a great friend at the same time!!!

Amazing vocal coach. I started working with Pandeli about 8 months ago. I started singing as a…read morehobby, but my voice has changed so much that I decided to pursue a career as a singer. Prior to meeting Pandeli, I had no voice training and had a hard time singing simple songs. Pandeli has such an intuition and amazing understanding of the mechanics of the voice that we made great progress in 8 months. My voice has completely transformed during this 8 month time that now I can sing high difficulty sings (Michael Bolten, Bruno Mars, etc.) songs without hurting my voice, with precision, and with an endurance I could never imagine. In addition to the vocal training, Pandeli is currently supporting me with setting up my own home studio and even with compositions. Incredible voice coach and musician! Recommend to anyone at any level.

If you are thinking of taking voice lessons, do yourself the biggest of favors and take a lesson from Pandeli. Just one. I promise, you'll want to return for regular lessons.
