So unprofessional! She cancelled the first two lessons an hour or two before our meetings. We had…read moreone lesson over zoom which was a nightmare because of all the interruptions on her end. The next time when I cancelled the lesson (because I've been working two projects) she reminded me about her 24 cancellation policy. Lol. Our last scheduled lesson she didn't show up or call or email. I waited 10 minutes before realizing I had made a very bad choice in this music teacher. Maybe Anne was a good teacher in the past but I do not recommend her at all.

Matthew manages to balance professional/fun/inspiring/rigorous in a way that many music teachers…read moredon't quite get. My son started voice lessons at VOX via Zoom during 2020, transitioning to in-person for several weeks before heading off to college. He loved all of it and those Monday night lessons were a lifeline for him as his other choirs and school music classes were postponed due to COVID. His confidence grew, and he was accepted into his college's competitive top choir as a freshman (Matthew also helped him with his college admissions' supplementary vocal performance materials and he landed a vocal scholarship). The recitals are great milestones and provide a real sense of community despite the age and experience differences. I'd recommend him to any one at any level.

I have been lucky enough to have Ally Jo as my coach over the past year, and I have to say, she is…read morethe best teacher one could imagine. She is a subject matter expert in method and voice and her passion and excitement for music are palpable. I look forward to my lessons each week, knowing that I will always learn something new and challenging. She has taught me the value that dedicated focus and practice bring to vocals, and is always patient and consistent in providing feedback to help me improve. She takes into account what kind of learner each student is and works to shape lesson plans to match. She believes in her students' abilities through and through. Recently, I have been practicing towards singing at a close friend's wedding. She helped me deliver a solid performance (yay!!), supporting me in each step along the way (from practicing the song and making it my own, to working to curate and record a backing track/adjusting the track to a key that works well with my voice, to printing the song with annotation, to microphone practice, to helping me access an iPad holder for the performance, to tips and tricks to pursue in the weeks/days/and hours before the performance. She thought of it all! She even sent me some tips the day of and made sure I knew she was there to support me with any last minute questions. I feel proud and confident that I met my goal, which wouldn't have been possible without Ally Jo's guidance and care. Really - if you're looking for a vocal coach in the Portland area - do yourself a favor and look no further than Ally Jo!!

I had 3 different teachers before her, two of which were college professors, and I have made the most progress in the least amount of time with Ally Jo.
