“Sarah’s experience and wealth of wisdom shone through in lectures about vocal health to my high school singers. She goes to the heart of a challenge, whether it be enunciation, vocal production, breath support or posture. Her uplifting coaching and invaluable information gave us the polish we needed before a big performance and the information necessary to stay healthy for a lifetime of singing! ”

“Hey Sarah! Just letting you know that both my dance and vocal audition went very well. The day after vocal auditions, in Chamber Choir, Mr. Aubel specifically pointed me out to the class and said that he had never really heard my voice, and that he was so shocked at auditions. Supposedly all the judges were in awe and they were asking where I came from :) (you, of course) He said I was amazing, which is a big deal coming from Mr. Aubel. Thank you sooooooo much for all your help. I would be nowhere without you :)””
— Jacqueline Besson, Amador High School

“Jessica had her DGC performance a few weeks back... and Steven and I both agreed that she has come a long way with here singing since working with you. We could really “hear” her voice and she was very clear. In the past, it seemed she hardly opened her mouth and this time she projected with confidence!! I was really great to hear and see. Thank you so much for working with her.”
— Linda Bondy, San Ramon, CA
