Reviews

“My granddaughter, has been taking lessons for over two years and her progress has been nothing short of amazing. I would like to thank Heidi for the technical and artistic instruction that has contributed to Emmey’s voice development. Heidi has a rapport with Emmey that encourages and supports Emmey’s success as a vocal artist.”

“Heidi has a gift for teaching! She came highly recommended by another music studio, and it was a perfect fit. Heidi was able to speak to my daughters strengths, help her overcome her weaknesses, and give her the tools she needed, then build her up with encouragement until she knew she could do it. My daughter looks forward to her weekly lessons, and I am thankful we found Heidi to help her turn her love of music into something amazing!”

“Heidi is very helpful, very patient, and always accommodating to meet my needs with a busy schedule. I have been taking lessons with her for about a year, and look forward to them every week.”
