Introduction
Hello there! I'm Suzanne :) Finally understanding your voice and being able to sing the songs you’ve always dreamed of is THE BEST feeling! I’ve made it my mission to demystify the voice so what once seemed intimating or unreachable, is now at your fingertips. As someone that uses my voice on stage, on tour and in the recording studio I know first hand the techniques a singer needs for a voice free of restriction that sounds its best. I had vocal training for years that left me mystified about how to achieve the sound I wanted. I longed for a wider range, more flexibility in my voice and a better vibrato, but no teacher was able to able to help me fully realize those skills. It was always on me to understand what they were telling me, but what they taught left so much unaddressed that I was left frustrated and disappointed with my voice and thought great singing must be something you're born with and that I was just "unlucky."  It wasn't until I began studying voice technique on my own that I began to understand the mechanics of the voice, how to create the sounds I wanted and most interestingly of all, how my personality and personal approach was blocking my results. I realised you can transform your voice, singing is a skill that can be broken down and taught...and that was so empowering to discover! I've gone on this journey myself and guided many others to success in the last 10 years. It takes being patient, being brave and staying committed, but you can achieve your singing goals, myself and my students are living proof. I'd love to guide you along the way :) My teaching style: I take a personalized approach with each student.  My teaching style is science based but I break down the concepts and techniques into relatable and approachable sounds and explanations. I identify your desired areas for improvement, short and long term goals and create lesson plans and homework to move you efficiently towards success. We work on songs so the techniques always have a practical application and you'll understand what each exercise is for and why you're doing them. We'll take the big lofty goals off the pedestal and you'll be singing in ways you hadn't thought possible.  I let you guide me your desired sound, songs and vocal styles and we'll build you a repertoire of songs you love that you can sing with confidence. I believe in all my students and I'm rooting for their success all the way.  I'm always your biggest cheerleader.  From the first lesson I can teach you techniques that will improve your singing dramatically. I’m currently offering a free trial lesson for new students so we can make sure I’m the right fit with no cost to you.

I'm a musician with no specific vocal training prior to working with Suzanne. I play other instruments and produce and write music, but singing has always been my weak spot and something I've been intimidated to dive into further. I've been meaning to take lessons for a long time, and I feel very lucky to have found such an excellent teacher in Suzanne. From the first lesson, Suzanne listened to the many things that I've been struggling with, and gave me excellent advice and exercises to improve on each of them. She's a great listener with a remarkable attention to detail. Singing is different from playing other instruments in that it's all happening inside your body, so it's important to be able to visualize and physically feel what you're doing when trying to produce a certain sound or emotion. Suzanne is so good at giving me different ways to imagine how something should feel, and how to slightly tweak them to get closer to the sound that I want. She provides so much useful feedback on the spot that I find myself going back to video recordings of our lessons to revisit her explanations. In the first few lessons, our goal was to make singing "feel good" before we start worrying about whether it sounds good. That focus on technique has led to massive improvements, and I'm surprised by how quickly I've seen a difference. She's familiar with lots of different styles - we've worked together on lots of R&B so far, as well as soft rock. In addition to working on technique, Suzanne has been getting me to explore my emotional range as a singer and lean into it more. Singing can make you feel quite vulnerable, and she's great at making me feel comfortable and giving positive reinforcement. We've recently started working on improving the vocals on some of my original music, and Suzanne has shown me ways to be more expressive and tap into different colors and emotions. I've seen huge improvements in just a handful of lessons, and am already feeling more confident with my voice. Most importantly singing has become less intimidating and more fun for me now that she's given me a foundation to build off of.

She helped me so much with some of the issues I struggled within just one lesson. She is so sweet and never once made me feel uncomfortable. We laughed while she helped me grow. I will deff be rescheduling with her again very soon! Thanks so much Suzanna 🫶🏼

Working with Suzanne has been an incredible experience. She effortlessly blends a perfect mixture of absolute professionalism and deep knowledge of vocal techniques with explicit coaching and the upmost patience. I have explored areas of my voice I, frankly, didn't even know I existed, and have reached levels of vocal technique I didn't think I would ever be able to accomplish. Suzanne works unbelievably hard for her students, and her passion for her craft seeps into every facet of her work - From the actual lessons, to practice suggestions, vocal exercises, and the thought she puts into melding a program that fits a student perfectly. I couldn't recommend a vocal coach/teacher/instructor/professional/greatperson enough. Whether you are a complete novice and would be starting from vocal kindergarten, or a professional looking to fine tune the gears of your technique, Suzanne will have something of immense value for you.

Suzanne is great! I not only learned more about my singing style, but was able to learn more about different techniques and tools I can use to continue to strengthen my voice. I've used her tools to practice on my own and look forward to taking more classes in the future.

Suzanne is simply outstanding! Before I started working with Suzanne, I could barely carry a note. Now just a few months in, I’m having a blast singing in front of family and friends and doing karaoke! I’m so grateful that Suzanne is sharing her special talents and gifts with me.
