I have been a student with Judy for 2 years. I have a daytime job as a physician and a background in music. I sang in a rock band in high school and college, and more recently have a solo guitar/vocal act playing classic rock standards.
I had specific goals when I started with Judy. First, I wanted to find my real voice, as opposed to mimicking the artists I cover. Second, I wanted to increase my range. I have a low voice and was getting stuck comfortably singing to an E (I am 54).
Judy has a very specific process for increasing the quality and range of your voice, and the system works. It's very clear to me now what my voice is, and if I can say, it has improved tremendously; my cover songs are very noticeably much better. In addition, I sing to a G# and I am on my way to an A, which to me is amazing. And its not just the range, my voice now has strength, color and the ability to vary in intensity. When I perform, I receive constant compliments on my voice.
How else do I know that Judy knows what she is doing? Because I see what she has done with her other students. Many come in with years of lessons not being able to sing well at all (some are awesome professionals). Some are out of pitch, lack support, have no presence; the list goes on and on. I had many of these same problems. But Judy gets them all, including the ones who come in with serious skills, to dramatically improve in a very short period of time; the transformation is unbelievable.
I have spent my entire life in academics and I can say that Judy is an excellent teacher. She knows how to listen and then easily diagnose problems, and clearly explain how to fix issues. This sounds simple enough but it is a characteristic that many teachers have not mastered. In addition she is a wonderful person who is honest. When you are not doing well she will really let you know. But she is quick with the compliment if deserved. She is a complete pro. If you are serious about improving and want to enjoy your voice again, you need to see Judy. read more
