Madeleine is an INCREDIBLE vocalist and music teacher. She is so lovely to work with, and it's a bit surprising how much finding your voice is a therapeutic process. I highly recommend her! She's splendid and I love every session! You won't regret taking her classes!

Madeleine helped me understand my voice and vocal range as a solo performer, which has been invaluable as I've started performing more (solo singer/songwriter). Her ability to break down the approach and style of singers I liked and translate that into practice habits for me has really transformed that way I sing.

Loved working with Madelaine. I tend to go quickly into my head voice when I sing, because I've always just felt more comfortable and like my voice sounds better in higher notes. But she helped me practice singing in my regular voice and ease into it.
I only stopped taking classes because I needed to focus on my new acting classes since that is more directly related to my career choice, but I will be back!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
In the first lesson or trial lesson, we talk about your goals and musical background. Then we try out a few exercises to warm up your voice and then you sing a song for me so I can hear what's already there and assess your needs! And then we start working on improving your skills with technical exercises connected to the song.
I usually set up an online folder for each student with practice material, a song list and notes about each lesson.
