Before I started lessons with Karen, my voice was in a terrible state due to acid reflux damage. I could barely speak without pain, let alone sing. Karen’s teaching is very intuitive and tailored to your personal level. And that differs from day to day. over the months, and now years, I’ve seen a steady improvement in my ability to sing. I’ve gone from painful croaking to confidently singing and have extended my singing range by at least three notes! Songs that were once out of reach are now much easier to sing. I still occasionally wake up with a scratchy throat from reflux, but with the help of Karen’s warm-up’s, I am able to get back into singing again. My experience with another singing teacher was not like this – they expected me to already be skilled and didn’t focus on warm-up’s or breathing techniques. Karen taught me that singing is a learnable skill and gave me the essential tools to succeed. I’m so grateful for her expertise!
