TESTIMONIALS
"Vikki is a true artist, and she teaches from her heart and soul. She helps her students connect with not just how to sing, but why they sing. She has a knack for allowing her students be who they are and start where they're at, no judgement. My deepest gratitude to her for her patience, insight and kindness, and helping me start the journey in voice and song."
"It was hard for me to
believe I had a voice worthy of training, and I was very impressed
with the kindness, compassion and respect afforded me during my
lessons. The Italian method is so innovative compared to what I had
been exposed to in the past; in particular the breathwork and the
shaping of the vowels and how important it is to use them
synergestically. I was astounded at how much range - and quality of
sound - I was able to achieve. What a joyful thing it can be to
raise your voice in song."
"Self-belief is a biggie
for me and Vikki really helped me with that. Feeling confidant
enough to sing for others, applying their suggestions, feeling you
have a good voice, and knowing you can ALWAYS get better and
improve, makes you believe more in yourself. I learned about the
science behind singing, how the lungs work when we sing, where the
voice is coming from and everything - the lessons just gave me a
deeper understanding of how it all works. I learned some very
effective tips and tools to support my voice. I can't thank Vikki
enough for all her help."
"When I first met Vikki,
it was awkward to do the exercises. But in no time at all, I felt
comfortable and relaxed. I realized that she really wanted to help,
not judge. Vikki was very supportive in building my self-confidence,
to believe that I could do what was being asked. I discovered that
the more I sing on the breath, the longer my voice will last (it is
difficult to sing for an hour or more when not singing correctly).
And I definitely came away with more self-confidence."
"By using my strengths
with patience and encouragement, Vikki has given me skills to
overcome my apprehension and sing with confidence."
"I wanted to sing, but
was terrified. I think my voice was somehow silenced in the past.
Vikki understands my fear, and I'm finding a way out."
"Thank you so much for
all your guidance, support and encouragement. You give me not only
the courage to sing but to perform! Not only have you been a
wonderful teacher, you have been a mentor and a friend."
"I appreciate the way
you give so much of yourself to give us the chance to succeed."
"Thanks for your support
and perseverance. I wouldn't have done any of this without you: your
help, support -- sometimes prodding!"
"You are a wonderful
teacher."
"I was ready to give up
and believed I was a hopeless cause. Vikki was patient and gentle
and helped me to believe in myself and my ability to sing!" |
