Lisa is very friendly and my daughter absolutely loved her! She learned a lot in her first lesson and loved how Lisa kept on track, no matter the conversation topic. My daughter can relate to Lisa a lot, from music tastes to life experiences, and Lisa is very good at handling students with stage fright. Overall 10/10!!!

I had an awesome experience with Lis! I just did one lesson due to time constraints, but I feel like it was invaluable in preparing me for singing at my cousin’s memorial. In addition to being educational, informative, and thoughtful, it was also a lot of fun. I would most definitely not hesitate to hire Lis again. Thanks so much!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Lisa! I am SO glad I found her!!! She is attentive, thoughtful and makes learning exciting! She really listens to your needs, where you want to go and wants to help you achieve your goals. I want to start auditioning for musicals and we are working on a song while still focusing on technique. She makes hard work feel good and so rewarding! Sign yourself up for lessons with her! She'll change your voice and she's such a joy to spend time with!
