"As a teacher, Rebecca maintains her compassionate and encouraging
demeanor while simultaneously pushing her students past their comfort
zones. She has helped me gain tremendous confidence in both my
technique and my ability to tell a story through song. Because she has
such a wealth of musical experience, studying with Rebecca means you
never run out of new material to explore and new ways to increase your
range as a performer."

"I could not have asked for a better experience than I had taking voice lessons with Rebecca for three consecutive years. With her help, I improved not only my voice but my confidence. When I started working with Rebecca my voice was barely trained and I had little control or knowledge over how I was using it. She worked with me week after week, giving me new songs that would test my limits and then showing me techniques and strategies that would help my voice grow to the strength it would need for that song. I constantly found that a song would feel hard when she first gave it to me and then suddenly appear easier two or three weeks later because of how she was pushing me. It was Rebecca's genuine interest and faith in my voice that kept me going back to her for years, too. When I thought a note was too high to hit or a rhythm was impossible to figure out, she would gently insist that I would get it and then prove time and time again that I could. I owe my voice and my confidence to Rebecca and the incredible teacher, guide and role model that she is to her students."
