She will guide and teach you to have a healthy technique and a complete connection with your body and emphasize the approach to the text that is so important for a singer. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced singer, she will be great for you.

My association with Kathy is almost a decade long! She first taught my daughter when she was in…read morehigh School and then my son through his high school years. She is thorough and methodical in her approach and able to harness an individual's talent and interest and channel it into something quite extraordinary. Kathy cares about her students and her knowledge and passion for music is apparent from the first time you connect with her. She took the time to understand the goals and aspirations of both my children and always coached and provided thoughtful and actionable feedback to help them improve their vocal range, tone, control and technique. She is an inspiring teacher who genuinely cares about her students and goes the extra mile to support and encourage her students. During the four years under her training for classical vocals and musical theater, my son matured from a young child to a bass-baritone, performing regularly at school and external events. He's now a sophomore in college and is continuing to take voice lessons there and is also a part of the University choir. More recently, my daughter, now 24 years old - who took lessons from her as a high student (and is now graduated from college and an adult) - began taking voice lessons from Kathy again for the past year and it's been a pure joy to know that she is in good hands. My daughter is currently in Berlin, Germany, but Kathy has made the time to help her with her lessons at a time that is convenient and effective for both to have meaningful lessons even though they are separated by thousands of miles and nine hours apart! I am sure when my daughter decides to go back for her Masters, she will continue her vocal journey and be a vibrant participant in the music community of whichever University she joins. The greatest gift she has given to my children is the love for music and performance for which I am most grateful. I highly recommend Kathy Ludowise to anyone who is seeking a vocal coach - no matter what level of previous experience. Her talent, passion and knowledge makes Kathy a wonderful vocal instructor who truly cares about her students and their goals. You'll be in good hands with her.

I would highly recommend taking lessons at Kat Parra Voice Studio…read more I've had a great experience working with Kat the past 2 years. She really knows her stuff and is always learning more! I have found that the longer I've worked with her, the more she learns about my voice and teaches me how to get the most out of it in a healthy way. Prior to taking lessons, my voice would always feel hoarse from improper singing technique. Now it feels stronger and healthier than it's ever been. Kat also does a great job of making her students feel comfortable when practicing/performing. Not easy to do, especially for singing! Her dog Fiona is also a great buddy to have for lessons :) My only complaint is that because I've improved so much under Kat, my family makes me sing for them as much as possible! Sometimes I need a break!

Alison is a fantastic voice teacher, and I feel so grateful to have stumbled upon her through Yelp…read more I've had many lessons with Alison since I've discovered her years ago, and that's because she's deeply knowledgeable about the human voice and how to adjust it to create a beautiful sound. She's very attentive, kind, and easy to learn from. She also has a truly beautiful singing voice, so you know you're learning from someone who has the chops! Under her guidance, I was able to develop my voice tremendously, so much that I was able to win second place in renowned voice competition and get cast in a choir for a musical theatre production. I give much of the credit to Alison, who guided me and equipped me with the tools and information necessary to perform as well as I could. I believe the final thing that makes her particularly special is that she is truly passionate about her art and the success of her students. If you're looking for someone to learn from, please look no further!

Dr. Jamie Del Priore has been an important part of our daughters' musical journeys for many years…read more Our oldest has been studying with Dr. Jamie for over 10 years, since she was four, and our younger daughter has been with her for six years, also starting at age four. Dr. Jamie is an exceptionally knowledgeable teacher with an impressive breadth of musical knowledge. She is gentle, patient, and kind, while still setting clear expectations that encourage her students to grow. She also has a wonderful musical sensibility and teaches her students not only how to play with strong technique, but how to shape a piece with expression, nuance, and beauty. Under her guidance, both of our daughters have developed into advanced pianists, taking on increasingly challenging repertoire while growing in musicality and confidence.

Complex musical concepts are explained in a clear and approachable way, and she intuitively recognizes which areas each child needs additional support, reinforcement, or challenge in. The music pieces my child learns are thoughtfully selected to match her skill level and interests, making piano study both engaging and enjoyable. Beyond playing the correct notes, Ms. Jean encourages her students to interpret the music--to express its emotions and stories. She introduces this through creative storytelling, making musical expression come alive. Attending one of Ms. Jean's recitals is truly inspiring. Her students perform with grace, confidence, and artistry, skillfully shaping phrases and conveying deep expression through their playing. For my child, learning piano has become more than simply practicing notes--it's an exploration of emotion and musical depth woven into each piece. Under Ms. Jean's guidance, I see my child growing into a true musician. I am deeply grateful to have Ms. Jean as my child's piano teacher. -- Grateful Parent
