High-Performance Voice Assessment

Ken

"Starting classes with Dana has not only allow me to develop my voice, but my confidence. Developing proper breathing techniques while working vocal scales and working to control my vibrato have allowed me to better express myself with my voice. Dana is a lovely individual who works with you to develop skills while also keeping a level of individuality. Over the span of just four months, I have seen great improvements on my voice, especially my breathing. I love working on songs and feeling comfortable to add my own spin on it without being confined to a preset box. With a focus on both artistry and technique, my lessons have given me the opportunity to grow as a singer, and I’m very grateful for the opportunity!” Ken

"Dana really helps me with my confidence in piano and really helps me get “out there” with my voice. Dana always has a positive attitude and we have fun during our sessions. This past year she has taught me how to confidently expand my vocal range and be more confident in general. She also encourages me enough that I have fun when I’m practicing at home so I can do my best when we have our sessions. Dana’s masterclasses have helped me learn music in a whole new way and I’m loving learning microphone techniques!" Logan

“I’ve been a student of Ms Dana’s for 7 years and she helped me become an actual singer. I have a raspy voice and she taught me how to use it and make it sound more beautiful. I am so grateful for Ms Dana, she’s so fun and makes me feel so confident. She’s taught me so much about my voice, breathing and confidence.” Ellie

“Ms Dana has taught me so much about singing and breathing, especially these last two years. Ive been a student of hers for 5 years and I’ve learned to control my vocal cords and sound. We work on timing a lot and it helps me learn music faster. Ms Dana has given me the confidence to sing in front of other people and I’m so happy to be her vocal student. She loves her students.” Ally

Dana is good for the soul! I’ve been working on my voice with her for about 1.5 years, and learning to sing with her is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I’ve always loved singing privately, but I never felt like I had much control over my voice. I could hear tone and pitch, but I didn’t really understand how to breathe properly, project, or trust my own voice. I was also pretty insecure, especially growing up with a mom who is a powerful singer and very much "the" singer in our family. Dana changed all of that. I now feel comfortable enough to sing for and with my mom; something I never thought I’d say at 34 years old! Beyond that, Dana’s talent is unmatched. This is not a karaoke lesson. She teaches me how to warm up properly, develop and push my range, adjusts keys to actually suit my voice, and gently shoves me out of my comfort zone with lots of belly laughs along the way. Honestly? Better than therapy. -Dianne

I am a woman in my fifties who ventured into the world of vocal lessons with Dana. My decision to pursue these lessons was fueled by a desire to enhance my confidence in the way I walk in this world, to improve the tone of my voice and to truly embody the emotional essence of the songs I sing. Since November 2023, Dana has been my guiding light on this musical journey of self-love. Dana has an innate ability to create an environment that fosters confidence, trust, and self-awareness. Through her encouragement and support, I've learned to embrace my unique voice and express myself with authenticity and vulnerability. Each session with Dana feels like a journey of self-discovery, where I not only hone my musical skills but also cultivate a deeper connection to my own emotions and experiences. What resonates with me the most about Dana is her supernatural talent coupled with a vibrant personality that exudes warmth and authenticity. She effortlessly combines fun and coolness with a deep well of wisdom, skill, and insight into both music and the depths of her students' hearts. Under her guidance, I've not only witnessed a remarkable improvement in my vocal abilities but, more importantly, I've discovered a newfound love and appreciation for myself. -Natalie

Jude

“I have ALWAYS loved singing and performing. This past summer my voice changed DRAMATICALLY and I was panicked I had lost my gift and something I loved so much. I was also panicked about an upcoming audition and couldn’t figure out how I was going to sing the songs. In less than a month of working with Dana, she was able to help me go from not sing the right notes, to nailing the auditions and getting the lead role I really wanted. She taught me exercises and techniques that strengthen my voice. When I thought I was losing my vocal range, she helped me find it and even expand it. Her support through the auditions made it a success and I can’t wait to see what else we can work on together! I especially love that she lets me choose the music genre I love - alt rock! - and we have a lot of fun working together.” - Jude
