Then Fred did a great job ordering the "Kryptonite" color Kaizen for us and in particular was able to secure the lighter weight guitar from the two on hand in the warehouse. Then the day the guitar arrived the store manager, Jim, called to make sure we were all good! Yes, yes we are ALL good. Truthfully, some Guitar Center stores have a spotty reputation but the Clearwater store is top shelf with us and I am here to spread the word!

Naomi T. Kaye's Voicercise was an excellent choice for my daughter's singing lessons. My daughter…read morehas been singing in school since she was in Kindergarten. She also loves singing pop music and has been singing karaoke with the family since she was three. When she changed schools and found out she would not have chorus as an elective for the first time we decided to put her in voice lessons last Summer. My daughter wanted expand her range and get better at singing riffs and runs typically found only in pop and r&b music, so we chose Voicercise because that option was available. So, first students are encouraged to purchase a CD that teaches anyone to sing and use their voice to practice with. Once you arrive at your first lesson the teacher goes over the techniques the student will learn that most pop stars use to get their voices to get a certain sound. The overall voice lessons are customized to the student's goals. My daughter quickly learned how to get her voice to a higher range and she has learned how to sing intricate runs. Her singing has definitely improved and she has so much fun during her lessons. My daughter was taught by Naomi's daughter Roxy Miller, who is a class act. Unfortunately Naomi passed away during the time that my daughter took lessons, but Roxy kept teaching with a smile through it all. We never had the pleasure of meeting Naomi, but her spirit definitely lives on in Roxy and this school. Roxy is not only extremely professional, but she is the sweetest person you'll ever meet. Her beautiful smile is so infectious and you really feel comfortable and at home with her. Voicercise puts on recitals several times a year. Students of all ages get to showcase a song that they've worked on with their new voice skills. We were so entertained at the October concert! There was all different types of music being sung by these talented singing students from all walks of life. Roxy has really helped these students, not only with their voices, but also with showmanship. My daughter has one more lesson before she moves on to swim team for a while, but we plan on coming back for more lessons next year! I highly recommend Voicercise for anyone, young or old that wants to improve their singing voice, especially if you want to sing pop music.

Lessons are $30/week, payable on the last week of the previous month in order to hold your scheduled time slot (fees are due, even if you need to skip a week).... not due if the session falls on a major holiday. The musical school is tucked away on a quiet street just off of Main Street. Nice parking lot. I typically just sit in the car while my son goes in since he is older but there is a nice waiting room inside. They also don't mind if you watch the lesson.
