Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: There is no secret to singing - it comes from a lot of hard work and the desire to learn to sing with correct technique. Years ago (after having sung with less than stellar vocal technique) I was put on vocal rest for three months (no talking, singing, nada, zip!) while my vocal folds healed. I then had to completely rebuild my voice from the ground up. I am passionate about teaching correct vocal technique the first time around! I love hearing a student say - "That was easy!" Yes! Singing can be easy, when you learn how to do it correctly. These light-bulb moments are my favorite.

I'm currently taking lessons from April and I absolutely love her! She not only knows how to teach, but she can sing and demonstrate what she teaches. She understands how voices work and has a ton of experience with performing and training.

I highly recommend April. I started with her about 7 months ago and had no singing experience. When I started I was terrified (singing in front of others has always been my greatest fear) and didn't even think I would be able to sing at my lesson. April set me at ease instantly and I loved it so much I couldn't wait for my next lesson. I had been living under the assumption that singing should be as easy as opening your mouth and letting sound out and was afraid that I was going to not be able to improve the sound of my voice. I never knew all the technique involved. April is so knowledgeable and has helped me with proper technique. She is very skilled at being able to hear exactly what you are doing incorrectly and help you correct it. When I started I couldn't have even come close to hitting a G6, especially without hearing it first, and now the high notes are my favorite part of singing. The best part is I'm gaining more confidence every week!
