Very good first free consultation. It made me feel confident about future lessons and excited about my singing aspirations. I’m really looking forward to continuing to learn, improve, and see where this journey takes me!

It was very lovely talking to him about my needs as someone who’s getting back into singing . He did vocal exercises with me and I found out that I have a good ear on notes . But what amazed me was how high I can go after so long and he even told me that we’ll play around with phantom of the opera which I thought I would never do because I thought I wasn’t able too . First session was a success .

It was the perfect first lesson honestly. Spent some time briefly talking about my singing journey and goals, then had a very enlightening and exciting conversation about the art of singing and four top fundamentals, before getting into some vocal workouts, that helped to build up my singing muscles and train my ear!!
David was very professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and kind. I really look forward to learning from him!
