I have no musical training…read moreand beyond singing, mostly silently, to my favorite songs, I never previously used my voice to make music. I spend a lot of time avoiding my creative expression, despite knowing I wanted more of it in my life. When I finally stepped out and gave myself to my desire for more expression, I wanted to both learn more about my voice and how it's shaped by my inner life. Inside Voice fit the bill from my first lesson. Jonathan met me and my voice right where it was with care, while clearly sitting in his knowledge and expertise. Over the course of my time at Inside Voice, I have been guided both clearly, with playfulness and almost magical intuition into a fuller understanding and expression of voice. I see now how my voice can reflect and inform who I am and the range of expression I can sing into the world! What a pleasure to experience Jonathan's work and learn how to bring it to more and more of my creative life. I've gained the confidence to go further in my creative expression in my voice practice, but also in my whole life. I am so excited to explore the creative, imaginative and expressive worlds this work continues to open in me. It is such good medicine in my life. Grazie mille Jonathan Stancato and Inside voice!

Tony + Jobelle are super friendly and helpful. As for my skills! I learned so much and I'm so happy I came here. Honestly, I was in a weird slump - I wanted something that I can do on my own - that I was passionate about and this did it for me. I'm definitely continuing to the intermediate level! Our class stayed small and the people in it are super cool. Everyone was super down to earth and easy to talk to. I knew nothing about how to play a guitar and now I'm actually playing along to songs which feels amazing. I always like to sing a long to karaoke in my apartment so now it feels good to sing along to my guitar lol.

I wanted to get some tips to improve my singing, but I ended up learning a lot more than that! As a total singing novice, I had a lot of misconceptions about how to sing and I was completely fascinated by what actually made a good singing voice. Jeneen helped me learn so many techniques for singing that really helped me make huge improvements, including better breathing, singing with less strain and strengthening and increasing my vocal range. We worked on content that was challenging and let me grow. With practice I could definitely start hearing improvement in my voice. While I started taking lessons with the intention of learning pop songs, I took Jeneen's recommendation to learn some Italian songs and I found I really really enjoyed them. Now I'm singing arias too! Now when I sing with my friends they always comment on how much better I sound. I'm so grateful for Jeneen. Her patience, great sense of humor and knowledge really made my lessons very enjoyable. I highly recommend!!
