I've been playing guitar…read morelonger than some of these kids have been alive, and let me tell you, some of them would probably kick my butt in a shred-off. A real indictment to the ability and passion of the instructors here. Not to mention some of the kids here are really cool and a great place for other cool kids to make friends and probably start a band and become famous or something. Definitely going to send my kids here one day so I can live vicariously through their talent and fame.

I was looking for a place to take singing lessons in Boston and I'm glad I came across Amy Danz!…read moreDominika has been a super helpful teacher. Whether it's warm-ups or singing through songs themselves, she is always happy to explain the concepts behind them and why they will help improve your singing. She knows to meet you where you're currently at in your singing journey and also push you a bit to improve. Amy is super responsive to emails and follows-up quickly. She's clear on her policies and always makes sure that you're able to reschedule your lessons ahead of time if you're going to miss out. I'll definitely come back here in the future for lessons!

I took voice lessons with Sarah via the Amy Dancz studio starting just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. My lessons were shifted to Zoom, and they worked out surprisingly well! I also loved that we had quarterly Zoom recitals where I could perform my pieces and watch how other students were also progressing with their respective teachers. The physical location is easy to get to (right off the Red Line downtown) whenever in-person lessons resume.

Johanna is an extremely talented singer and a marvelous teacher. I have known Johanna for many…read moreyears as a dear friend, and I recently had the pleasure of taking group voice lessons with her over the span of several months. Johanna uses an integrated teaching style that really invites you to sing with your whole body. I learned how to maximize each breath and focus on certain sounds to help with diction and range. Besides being a well educated, competent, gifted teacher, Johanna is a delightful human being. I highly recommend asking for lessons now, before she's totally booked!

20 years ago, I had voice lessons with Brent for over a year mostly focusing on pop songbook songs…read more Recently, we had a number of sessions because I was singing songs from the 60's and 70's and I was having trouble producing the best voice I can thought I was capable of. I've had voice lessons before Brent, but the teachers were either classical or Broadway or one particular style. One said that my voice was too good for him to help me - he only taught beginners. Brent can teach anyone in any style with any level of vocal expertise. His teaching method, then and now, focuses on getting your best vocal sounds. This includes learning how to sing words that have two vowels sounds in the same syllable, understanding how to breath through phrases, producing resonance in your head and not singing from your throat, using head voice, full voice and a mixture of the two and he works on volume control and use of microphones. I recommend Brent for anyone at any level trying to sing better.

No matter where I am at in life or what goals I have she has always been a constant, able to adapt and guide me flawlessly. Noel is an incredibly knowledgeable teacher and resource, who truly knows what she is doing. She is always supportive, kind, and genuinely cares about all of her students. Her studio is comfortable and professional, making an excellent environment to learn. I have recently come back with a renewed goal to get back into theater, without missing a beat I had new songs to work on and concrete steps to take towards that goal. Without Noel's guidance I would be truly lost, she has believed in me when I didn't believe in myself and always been there as a mentor and teacher. Noel's studio is the best of the best and anyone who gets to work with her is incredibly lucky.
