She's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. The laryngeal massages and targeted vocal exercises she's guided me through have made such a difference in helping me understand my voice and reduce tension. What I appreciate most is how supported I feel during our sessions. She truly listens and tailors everything to what my voice needs that day. If you're struggling with vocal tension or MTD, Paloma is someone you absolutely want on your team.

Paloma is a seasoned professional with an absolutely beautiful voice, and she made the entire process approachable, easy to digest, and genuinely fun. She taught me how the voice truly works--breath support, diaphragm use, vocal anatomy, resonance, tongue placement, and effective exercises that rebuilt my voice with care and intention. Her depth of knowledge is exceptional, yet she explains everything in a way that feels clear and accessible. Most importantly, I felt extremely comfortable and supported every step of the way. Thanks to Paloma's expertise, patience, and encouragement, I was able to deliver a heartfelt and beautiful tribute to my mother. If you are returning to singing after time away or preparing for something truly meaningful, I cannot recommend Paloma highly enough.

I've done about a month worth of lessons with Sarah in the bay before she left. That was…read moreunfortunate, because I would have really loved to continue training with her. I was a complete beginner when we started, but even after a few weeks I already felt more confident in my voice. I also like the comprehensive lesson format: we focused on the basics, did warm-ups, and then practiced on a song or two. Sarah is a talented, supportive teacher, and can be very flexible to accommodate your needs. She helped me find songs that would fit my voice (I'm a baritone, so it was kind of hard) and taught me to tap into the emotional energy of the song to bring it out in my own voice. After each lesson I would walk home smiling and singing to myself. :)

The first lesson was a lot of information (in a good way) but each subsequent lesson has been a building block towards understanding my voice as an instrument and how to use it to its full potential. I feel forever changed! I just didn't know how easy singing should feel, but that's because i didn't have a really great mentor showing me the way. Not shown - me practicing every exercise we go through 6 out of 7 days a week. She'll show you what to do, but only you can improve if you put in the work :)

Through Shannon's methods I have grown immensely more confident and have overcome my fear of singing in front of other people. She is very warm and knowledgeable in her approach and always offers a solution when I hit a roadblock. Her lessons have made me more interested in music theory and I look forward to exploring that side of music more. I would recommend her to anyone looking for voice lessons at any stage of your journey. She can help you find your voice and give you tools to better your approach. 100/10 teacher and person!

Her voice lessons are taught in a very comfortable, supportive, and non-threatening environment, which really helped my daughter feel at ease while learning.

I'd always been interested in singing, but after hearing myself attempt to sing in the past, I was…read moreconvinced I was tone-deaf and felt discouraged. After my acting teacher recommended all actors do vocal training, I took the opportunity to try it. As an adult beginner with no real singing experience, searching for a place to start was intimidating, but I'm so glad I took the leap with this studio. Through the Vocal Foundation program with Stuart Wheeler, I've learned that I'm indeed NOT tone-deaf, and that with the right training and technique, I've been able to unlock a part of my voice that I've not been able to access until now. Stuart is a highly-skilled teacher, singer, and musician, with the ability to articulate complex musical terms in a way that easily clicks in my mind (and I'm not an easy person to teach!). He is a patient, compassionate instructor who provides a safe, fun space to learn and explore. I've enjoyed being able to choose the songs that we work on. My lessons have always been insightful and surprisingly empowering. In just a few months, I've gained much more control and confidence in my own voice, expanded my range, learned to be more mentally focused and present, and have sharpened my listening skills. I can now sing for pleasure without being so self-conscious. My vocal training has even helped improve my piano and guitar practice! The session rates are reasonable and the location/parking are convenient. I haven't had a chance to work directly with Jane but she has been lovely over our communications. Overall, I've gained so much from my training here and I look forward to continuing.

I have always really wanted to take voice lessons. When I was younger, all my friends seemed to be…read morein voice lessons but I was already in piano lessons and dishing out the cash for both wasn't really in the cards for my parents. Thus I recently decided that I would check Yipit daily until a deal came up. You can imagine my excitement when a Lifebooker coupon appeared for a great deal on 4 private voice lessons. I purchased it immediately and waited until morning to schedule my sessions. I met Amber in Silverlake at what I assume is her studio apartment. She said she usually teaches in Echo Park but she had a bunch of online appts that day so she worked out of here. She looks pretty young and she sat with her keyboard set up and a chair facing it, which I sat in, in a very small bedroom. We started by going over why I'm taking lessons. I love music, playing the piano and singing, but I have a raspy kind of voice... which I like... but I have a difficult time hitting higher notes. And mainly I just wanted to kind of develop my own style of singing that would complement my voice. Amber talked and went over the basics for most of my lesson. It was informative but it wasn't really anything that I was excited to go home with or anything, plus I knew a lot of it already. But being the first lesson, I realized a bit of orientation was probably standard and would be helpful later. I was mostly excited for my next lesson though, as there wasn't a ton of opportunity for me to sing to even really get a feel for me as an individual. The next week I realized I wasn't positive where we were meeting as she said she "usually" meets in Echo Park but she also said she had a lot of online appts that day and since we were supposed to keep our lessons in the same day I wasn't sure if that meant she worked from home Wednesdays. I sent her a quick email about 45 mins before my appt. She responded about 10 mins before my appt. She was probably in another lesson and this was my fault for not really thinking about it sooner. But this did not leave enough time whatsoever to get from WeHo to Echo Park on a Wednesday at 5pm. Turned out that did not even matter because someone was blocking my car in anyways which has never happened before. I knocked on every neighbor's door only to find out the girl went to the movies with her boyfriend. I came inside right before the response from Amber saying we were in Echo Park. I responded immediately explaining the situation and asking if I could reschedule, or given that it was last minute, even relinquish one of my four lessons and see her again next week. No response at all I finally got a response the next day saying "Hi Melissa, As you read on your voucher, any cancellation without 24 hours notice, voids the voucher. I have so many clients to juggle that I can not afford to sit and wait when I could be teaching. I am so sorry but I must be consistent and apply the same rules to everyone." She offered me a discount in her normal $80 rates if I wanted to continue. Alright... Now I understand having to give up one of my lessons but there's absolutely no reason why I shouldn't be able to come back for the last two. Additionally, I explained the situation in time to have taken a cab and made the last 30 mins of my lesson, which still would have been cheaper than her $80/hr rates, so the voucher wouldn't be "void" (the phrase alone irritates me... Like she can't do anything about this "void voucher"... Like some sort of "system" will no longer allow me access. Ugh.) And no, I didn't read the fine print on the stupid voucher until this happened, after which I read "voucher MAY be void". And honestly, even if I had read that I would have thought, well I'm contacting her with a situation out of my hands, her studio hopping added to the confusion, and she didn't respond when I asked about rescheduling until it was too late. Of COURSE a business seemingly just starting out because there are no reviews whatsoever (except for the quotes of reviews she wrote on her site, which who's to know if she didn't just make them up. I mean... where is she quoting from anyway?) would want new clients to be happy. And even if the voucher does say that, why on earth would I want to buy extra lessons from someone who I feel just ripped me off? Anyways, she seemed nice at first, she seems like she probably has a good singing voice and perhaps she's helpful. I, however, will never know because I will not be going back. Plus I don't exactly see myself having warm feelings for the girl anytime in the near future.

Her teaching has been instrumental in advancing my musical career to the level it is today. Every time I leave a lesson my voice feels refreshed and in prime condition.

She has given me a new-found confidence that has translated very well to the stage. Amber is such an amiable, kind individual and I would highly recommend her services to anyone! As for the negative reviews listed, her cancellation policies are clearly stated within her contracts, so if a lesson time is missed and she is not notified in advance, the responsibility falls squarely on the client.
