TESTIMONIALS

Katie is my favorite voice teacher I’ve worked with, hands down. There are many things I love about Katie’s coaching style, such as the fun and uplifting energy she brings to each lesson, her vast knowledge of different singings techniques, her investment in your growth, and so much more. My favorite thing about working with Katie, though, is that she helped me find my unique, individual voice. I have learned a lot about what style of music I prefer to sing, what I prefer to sing about, and who I am becoming as a person in our lessons. Because of my time working with Katie, my voice has not only grown, but the artist and dancer in me has as well.

Where do I start? Katie has been an amazing vocal coach, she has brought me to a place of confidence in my voice and myself! There are so many songs I had previously shied away from that she helped me conquer, and I could not be more grateful. From a comforting and engaging environment, to constantly pushing me to be my best, I have had an absolute blast working with Katie. If I could describe it in one word I would definitely say: Priceless!
— James Esril (Acting Student at Fountain School of Performing Arts)
As a full time drama student with a background as a professional dancer a lot of the vocal techniques I’ve been introduced to are not suited for flexible bodies. Katie’s been someone I’ve been really able to count on for fine tuning my vocal work and tailoring exercises to my needs and abilities. Not only has my singing improved, my voice in general has improved. My acting teachers have commented on how free and accessible my voice is while performing, which is something I really struggled with before working with Katie.
— Emily Atkinson (Acting student at NYU Tisch)
I have been working with Katie for around three months now and I have learned so much about vocal techniques, improving my vocal range, choosing songs for my voice type, and much more. Katie is always smiling, encouraging, and makes singing fun. Working with Katie has helped my overall confidence . I would highly recommend Katie as a vocal teacher!

Katie is engaging, knowledgeable, and full of personality. She navigates the voice instruction of the beginner to the advanced vocalist and her instruction is based on solid methodology and a wide variety of music experiences which allow Katie to bring out the potential in all students. Her teaching has worked wonders for my vocal development. My endurance, range, breath control and intonation have improved dramatically.
— Scott Leonard (Music Teacher and Guitarist)
I have been taking lessons from Katie for the last 7 months and I have loved every minute of it. Despite the hardships of working through zoom, I feel that Katie has helped me grow significantly as a singer and performer. She has taught me so more more than singing techniques, she taught me how to pick the right song for an audition, how to keep my nerves in check and how to trust my instincts. Deciding to take lessons with Katie was one of the best decisions I’ve made! I would highly recommend her as a vocal coach to anyone who asked!
— Erin Smith (Acting Student at McGill University)
I was introduced to Katie when I decided that I would like to channel some of the stress and negative energy into more artistic interests. Ever since we started working together, she has been very patient with me giving me enough time to come out of that cocoon of self-doubt that I had built around me for oh so long. Katie has taught me to look beyond my short comings and reconnect with my core through the use of my voice. Her weekly doses of encouraging words work like Magic! If it weren’t for her I’d have never realized that singing could be so therapeutic and enjoyable. Because of her awesome mentorship skills, I am starting to feel that with enough practice and warmups I can sing any song. Katie has helped me find my strengths and elements that need more work. She offers solid advice and goes over different breathing exercises and techniques multiple times to make sure I got it right.

I am extremely grateful for Katie’s impassioned involvement and guidance in every lesson. I realized perhaps I wasn’t that bad a student I just had not found the right teacher, someone who knew what I needed and was willing to put in the work with me for my growth. Katie is the best! The lessons with her go beyond voice training, we work on building self-confidence and letting go of any anxieties or as she calls it “Shake it all off.” I absolutely love her teaching style and how dedicated she is towards my growth.
— Disha Jaggi (Adult MCPA Student)
Working with Katie has been an absolute joy! I was a bit nervous in signing up for voice lessons as a complete beginner, but her patience and encouragement has helped me work through moments of self-doubt. I feel very grateful to work with someone so knowledgeable and passionate, and I would encourage anyone considering lessons to come discover how empowering and fun singing can be!
