"Colleen is a fantastic and insightful voice teacher! Working with Colleen more than prepared me for rigorous voice study at the collegiate level. Under her guidance I became an engaged and informed learner of vocal technique, diction and score preparation, professional conduct, and (most importantly) artistry. Colleen's in depth knowledge of pedagogy is invaluable. Health is paramount in Colleen's studio, and I believe her students are given the opportunity to participate meaningfully in their own learning. I gained the capacity for self reflection as a student, as well as the indispensable skill of self advocacy. I could not be more grateful to Colleen for providing a fun, healthy, and incredibly comprehensive lesson environment!" - Eileen D. 

"I came to Colleen as a singer-songwriter, with previous experiences with “phenomenal” voice teachers; however, since coming here I don’t think I will ever turn back to the voice teachers I once worked with. I see now what they lacked that Colleen does not! Instead of just teaching vocal science or just teaching by “the way it feels” to sing, she uses a mixed approach of techniques that of course are always healthy for your voice! I love how she explained to me what was going on the vocal-chord level rather than just telling me to “do this” or “sing this warm-up”. Everything we did had a scientific reasoning behind it and I walked away being able to access and manipulate parts of my voice I never thought I would. PLUS: Colleen has never been anything but supportive and welcoming to me and for that I am glad. Thanks to Collen for all that you do for students like me! "-Jenna D. 

"Taking voice lessons with Colleen was one of my favorite parts of my high school years. Every Monday, my lesson gave me time to take my mind off of anything that was stressing me and focus on doing something that I love. Because I was not in choir after freshman year, my voice lessons were one of the only times that I was able to sing. Being able to choose the songs I wanted to sing and work on different aspects of my voice has made me appreciate singing more than I thought possible and want to continue singing throughout my life in whatever way possible." - Lia B. 

"Working with Colleen has been a blessing for me. I would have never unlocked my fullest potential without her. Colleen always pushes you to do your best, work at your hardest, and is your biggest advocate when it comes to working on a new song, auditions, recitals, etc. If I never worked with Colleen, I am not sure where I would be today. She helped improve my drive to go for my dreams of one day being a professional singer, and I am grateful to Colleen for being my coach. "- Glenn K.
