Seriously I love Pam so much! Have been taking vocal & guitar lessons from her for a few months now…read more& have seen a ton of improvement already. She is so kind & down to Earth. I love that she's a legit working musician with a ton of experience and not just a music teacher. She's helping me overcome the worst stage fright & got me to sing a song at open mic. Her guitar lessons have been really effective! I've tried to learn guitar several times in the past & it has always felt grueling & I've never stuck with it. With Pam her approach just makes more sense & has it broken down in a way that you start actually playing more quickly so it feels more fun. If you're looking for a vocal or guitar coach you really can't go wrong with Pam :)

I am so happy that I got to meet Pam. She is truly a professional! I recently moved to the valley…read moreand needed some voice sessions to help with performing on my big day. I came to her with about 4 weeks to get my voice up to par, and she helped me tremendously with her vocal techniques. Not only is Pam a great coach, she is also truly caring and a beautiful soul. I cannot recommend her enough. If you are in the valley and looking for a vocal coach, look no further. Everyone at my wedding complimented me on how well I performed. Wishing you and Chad the best!

I signed up for lessons hoping to correct a speech impediment I have had since middle school. They…read moreswore this was absolutely possible. After about a month or two, I was getting the wildest compliments during lessons "you're going to be a star" and "embrace the fame thats coming your way" "you are about to be on TV" I didn't understand what was going on or even what this TV show was. I was humble and didn't want to ask questions. Before one of the showcases, I was even supposed to have a private meeting with one of her "producers" to record. After long, I realized the same eager crowd that showed up at these "producer showcases" to perform & impress were mostly the same ones coming to lessons. I was told things like "you'll have album in three years" and because of her connections with music stars.....maybe even a collab with Carrie Underwood. There was also *tremendous* pressure to come online and leave a 5-star review. I felt uneasy that things which seemed private and confidential about other students were shared during lessons. I also realized that she seemed to share things about me that I wish she wouldn't have. I wish that I would have walked away when I got to the point I was at...and never got involved with her "showcases" and her producers. I wish I would have trusted the bad feeling in my gut about all of it. It felt like mind games, with the wild promises, and the producers, and how they never talked to me directly about what was going on. I would be ashamed to talk like this to my voice students, and Mr. Riggs probably wouldn't approve of this business modality either. Now, I am trying to find myself again after the grief this has caused in my life. Which is far more than can be fit in this review.

They say "Those that can't do, teach," but nothing could be further from the truth about Kelli…read moreJames. Kelli didn't simply decide one day she knew something about performing and hang a shingle. She has the bona fides of a career at the top of the entertainment industry, most notably as the first American Eponine in the original Broadway production of Les Miserables. She also starred in the first national tours of Evita and Aspects of Love; in addition, she has sung on some of the world's greatest concert stages, from Toronto to Munich to London's Royal Albert Hall. Any singer looking to learn from the best need look no further than Kelli James. She has the track record to prove it.

I saw first hand her level of professionalism and her working knowledge of surviving in show business, more importantly, how to survive 8 shows a week of high modern-aged belting. In the years since, I have encountered (auditions or on stage) several of Kelli's students and been thorough amazed. They display great poise, investment in their craft, and in some, a greater depth of feeling than their young years should provide. Several are working professionally. One just closed in a starring role on Broadway. Everyone has a voice. If that were enough, the stars would fill the airwaves. Unfortunately, getting from studio to the stage door entrance takes hard work and frankly, a great deal of insider knowledge. Whether you're an adult looking for a refresher or a student (or parent of one) who may have a dream or ambition, you will benefit from studying with Kelli. In fact, you'll have The Advantage.
