I am very happy with my choice to work with him. After the very first lesson I noticed better sound quality and control. His book and instructions are priceless because you will discover what is possible for your voice. He was able to point me in the right direction without me singing a note and at that point I knew I had made the right decision. DON’T hesitate book him if you want to LEARN how to sing skillfully and with confidence!!

Within five minutes of getting to know each other I was already comfortable with Mr.Houston which made it easier to get over my fear of singing in front of people. From the first lesson, he already discovered my sound as well as what needs improvement which was great. I'm really excited to see how I progress with these lessons with Mr. Houston.

Houston is fantastic. A man with a rare gift, Mr. Simmons pinpoints weaknesses and strengthens them, using his own techniques and great knowledge of the trade. I have taken four lessons with him so far, and I have already gained a better sound, greater confidence, and even more stage presence. I can truly say that I have hired the right guy as my vocal coach. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is absolutely serious about perfecting his/her voice.

Thanks. As we progress, I look forward to turning on my TV and seeing you "blow them away" on "The Voice." Keep up the good work. Let's do this thang! :) Houston

Our first lesson was more than I expected. I appreciated Houston's passion for the art he so loves. I know my son is going to get the most from future lessons. I look forward to the finished success of my son. I love that he is challenging my son to be his best.

I'm from Caracas, Venezuela and i'm moving to Miami permanently, soon. I am fortunate to have a great vocal instructor, like Houston Simmons . In 7 lessons, he taught me many vocal techniques that i've never learned before in prior singing lessons in Venezuela. Every class I've had with him, has been a great help for me, by building more confidence in singing my voice. I'm also enjoying reading his book which also is helping me to learn new things. Every class with him, I enjoy it and I wish that it never finishes. I thank God for letting me have Houston Simmons as a vocal instructor and I'm looking forward to being progressive in the future lessons with him.
