Students' Testimonials

"I trained for many years as a classical singer and then took a long break from singing. With a goal of finding my authentic voice beyond the classical genre, I reached out to Coco for help.Working with her has been a wonderful experience. Her deep understanding of vocal technique and appreciation of different popular styles have enabled her to explore the potential of my voice in new ways. Her willingness to build from my starting point, emotional sensitivity, enthusiasm, and focus on growth are helping me overcome longstanding perfectionism and performance anxiety. She is very conscious of vocal health and I trust her guidance. Our lessons are one of the joys of my life at this stage. I am grateful to be working with such a capable and encouraging vocal coach".

"It is my privilege to give my personal recommendation of Coco as a vocal teacher. In my work, I am a private music educator for guitar and keyboard, and so I understand the difficulty in finding a teacher who not only knows their craft, but is able to teach it and then do so with care and thoughtfulness. Coco can do all this and more. She has been teaching me vocals for the past 5 years, and has been brilliant through this time. She has helped me find a voice for my songwriting and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

"I've loved this past year working with you I have grown so much as a singer a performer and as a person. My confidence is more than it has ever been, and I've finally started to acknowledge that I might not be as bad at singing as I thought. Going to your session always makes me so happy it's the best therapy in the world. So excited for what we do in the future.
Thank you!"

"Hi, I started with Coco as an 'older aged' student .. I had sung as a teenager but had this urge to get out some noise and hear myself :-) Coco has been awesome for me - encouraging me and we have fun every lesson .. she is a compassionate , caring person who creates an atmosphere for everyone to flourish to the best of their ability .. I'm always blown away by the thought and time she puts into preparing for every lesson as well. I'd recommend her to anyone."

~Alison Bradford

"With Coco’s bubbly personality, strong work ethics and her tremendous musical background in singing and dancing and her experience as a working recording artist in the real world, she is a great inspiration for aspiring students who want to learn the magic of music!
