After several sessions, I noticed that we weren't tackling specifically that, but many other aspects of how I talk, the words I use, why I say the things I say, among other things, that all indirectly were adding or affecting me in many other ways, but super related to my insecurities. Sam has helped me feel more confident with myself and with my inner voice (no pun intended). I have become more mindful of the words I use, in a natural way. I can't stress enough how much Sam has impacted me personally and professionally. So grateful to have met her!

My daughter had the wonderful opportunity to study with Morgan this past year, and we are so…read moregrateful for her guidance and encouragement. Morgan is not only an incredibly talented vocal teacher, but also a warm, patient, and supportive mentor who truly cares about her students. My daughter always looked forward to her lessons each week and grew tremendously in both confidence and vocal ability under Morgan's instruction. Morgan creates such a positive and comfortable learning environment, and her kindness and encouragement meant so much to our family. She was also very understanding and flexible with scheduling and communication, which we deeply appreciated. We highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, inspiring, and genuinely caring voice teacher.

I came into the studio (virtually, lol) nervous and super self-conscious about my voice, and she immediately helped me feel at home and more at ease with producing sound. Her technical explanations and the visual imagery she provides during warm-ups have been revelatory as well. She's helped me expand my range, improve my vocal tone, and strengthen my confidence as a singer. I recommend her highly. I'd honestly give her double the stars if I could :)

Playing guitar is in my zone, but I am not a trained singer; hence, I started searching for singing coaches on the Internet. I found HEATHERVOX. She had a lot of positive reviews; hence, I scheduled a session with her; and, I am so happy I did. - She has a beautiful singing voice; and, she immediately assessed my singing competency baseline. - She immediately started me on vocal techniques that quickly controlled the movement of my neck, mouth, and vocal cords. Most importantly, she taught me the importance of relaxing the vocal cords throughout the octaves. - After 40 minutes of teaching proper singing techniques and using the techniques she taught me going up and down scales, it was time to apply the techniques to a song. - I sang, Here Comes The Sun, by the Beatles; and, I was amazed -- I immediately noticed the improvement in my singing -- now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't just "add boiling water and instant noodles" kind-of- thing, but it was a drastic and noticeable improvement in my singing voice. I still have a lot of work and practice to do. Now, I have more controlled volume, my voice is more robust, colorful, and dimensional, AND I am able to hit higher notes easier without strain. I was also amazed with the added tone quality Heather gave me through her singing techniques. Heather recorded my session; hence, I have a starting baseline of my singing voice. I can track my progress. I also have recordings of the techniques she taught me; so, I can replicate them while doing my homework. I have 6 months from today, 23-January-2025, to get my singing skills on-point; hence, I am 100% certain, working with Heather, will get me to my goal. I scheduled additional appointments with her, and she gave me homework and exercises to work on before my next session. I really enjoy the straw exercise -- extremely helpful. Finally, I like that Heather has good business ethics. She assessed my progress and gave me a class schedule that matched her forecast of my progress within the 6 months -- she didn't try to sell me more lessons than I needed. I'm very happy working with Heather to get me to my singing goals for this feature film. Check 6! /s/ Alfonso Faustino

Also, the front desk people are very friendly with families. Easy to do registration over the phone or making payments. They are good about reminding parents of what, when is due! This music center teaches and rent instruments to students of all ages. Victor also leads a choir group named Hip Kids. It has been around for sometime. Some kids we meet has been in the program since they were little until they graduated from middle school! Lot of great kids in the program. I'm happy that my kids are meeting good friends!

Marla is a wonderful and dedicated teacher…read more I originally came to her just with some long ago choir experience and no formal music school background. And because of that, I don't know many of the terminology or what they mean. So I really appreciate that Marla has always been patient and super adaptive in coming up with new exercises or creative visualizations to fit me, and find alternative ways to help me learn. I have been working with Marla for many years. And since then, she had taught me good foundations and helped me develop my voice and expanded my range. I feel like she cares a lot for her students and is very supportive. I would not be where I am w/o her on-going support and guidance.

We are strongly considering in working back with her again once in person lessons and the pandemic improves. She accepts Zelle payments which are convenient and offers a new student discount fir a few lessons. Thank you for your help Marla!

Kate has been my high schooler voice lessons for about a year. It has been one of the highlights of…read moremy daughters school year. We always knew she had vocal talent, but she had no formal training and under Kate's direction she has flourished. Kate is extremely positive and nurturing which has really helped my daughter come out of her shell and take risks to audition, perform solos, etc. Kate is also a dream to deal with from a parent perspective - lessons are at your own home and she's very forgiving with our constantly changing schedule. I would highly recommend Kate for children and adults, regardless of your vocal aspirations.

My husband found Kate on Craiglist as we were looking for a vocals teacher for our middle school…read moreaged daughter, as she was preparing a number for the school talent show. I used to sing when in high school and college and my husband is also very musical, but we were struggling with working with our daughter on her vocals, as she just was not as open to feedback from us (I'm sure other parents can relate!), so we figured a teacher would be better. Our daughter immediately clicked with Kate and just LOVED working with her from the start. Kate has helped her make incredible strides in her vocal ability over the last year, bringing her true voice out! In fact, she just finished her performance as one of the leads in the school musical Once on This Island (see photo posted by Kate), and I'm certain that her work with Kate made a big difference! Kate has also acted as a life coach (my daughter's description, not mine!) as she's helped her work through times when she was lacking confidence or second guessing herself in her song selections. Not only is Kate a fantastic vocals teacher, but she's also a wonderful person that we have all come to adore and consider a friend! I can't recommend her enough.

Pierce is an incredible teacher and a great person!…read more I took lessons with Pierce for about 6 months. Going into lessons, I could not have imagined that the progress we made was even possible. For example, I have gained about 4-5 new notes in my "mix" voice, which were far too high for me to sing beforehand. Pierce helped me reach my potential with very tailored exercises that helped me understand some of the more nuanced and abstract concepts in singing, such as resonance in the "mask" and engagement of the vocal folds. Pierce makes it easy for his students to practice at home by recording exercises and sending them to you after your lesson. This helped me to make my practice sessions structured, consistent and efficient. Most importantly, Pierce is a kind person and supportive teacher. I perform regularly in the area, and Pierce went out of his way to attend my shows, and even invited his friends to come along with him. I can't recommend Pierce highly enough!

I grew up doing musicals, but never took lessons or had any formal training. When I started lessons…read morewith Pierce I hadn't performed in over 10 years (I'm 28 now). He started me out slowly, teaching me warm-ups and the general physical elements (e.g., hard palate, soft palate, diaphragm, etc.) of the voice. Over the last year, I've made great strides with my vocal development and recently performed in a production of Pirates of Penzance with confidence from his tutelage. Pierce bases much of his instruction on his own experience. As a performer himself, he can expand beyond typical voice instruction and offer tips for performance as well. His studio is also a nicely private setup that makes for a safe environment to "make mistakes" or to make discoveries. I've greatly enjoyed working with Pierce and highly recommend working with him.

Midori was super easy to work with from start to finish. We found them through our wedding planner,…read moreand the whole process was very straightforward. They send over a sheet with their music selections, you fill out what you want, and send it back about a month before the wedding. One thing I'll say is that the music sounded even better in person than in the samples. So many of our guests commented on how cool it was and how much it added to the atmosphere. For our 2-hour City Hall wedding, it was honestly perfect. It really fills up the space and makes everything feel a lot more grand and special without feeling over the top. Based on their samples and advice from some of our musician friends, we decided to go with the trio for a fuller sound, and I'm really glad we did. Highly recommend going that route if it fits your budget.

Their performance added so much elegance, emotion, and romance to our ceremony. The sound filled the rotunda beautifully and created the exact atmosphere we were hoping for. So many of our guests came up to us afterward raving about how amazing they were and how much the music elevated the entire experience. If you're getting married at SF City Hall or hosting any special event and want live music that makes a lasting impression, Corelli Strings is the way to go. They truly enhanced one of the most important moments of our lives and we couldn't recommend them more highly!
