So helpful!

I'm so grateful to have studied with Emma . When I started I had a total fear of my own voice and I found it very hard to imagine that I would be able to produce something which sounded pleasant. She has changed the way I think about how words are formed in the mouth and palate, about phrasing, breathing, posture.

Amazing, Attentive and Patient Tutor

Emma is the most attentive and instructive voice teacher I've ever had. She is a joy to learn from and has the patience of a saint. I notice my improvement from each of her planned lessons. I know I am in good hands! Emma has corrected my lifelong vocal challenges by sharing her extensive knowledge and experience of how the vocal instrument and singing actually work. I no longer feel the embarrassment, shame, and frustration I felt when leaving my other vocal lessons. Emma has given me a renewed sense of hope and faith in my voice and ability to sing. I'm getting stronger each week to sing songs that embody my style and preferences. My confidence level is at an all-time high. Emma's approach is exactly what I need. I am so excited and fortunate to continue building my voice and vocal experience with her! She is a, "highly recommend!!!"
