My daughter (age 12) really enjoyed her voice lessons with Tim. Her singing has definitely improved over the last 5 months and she is ready for her audition next month. I was very impressed that Tim was so flexible and willing to work with her on specific songs. He made the lessons fun, and she learned a lot too. Tim and many of the other teachers are in bands or otherwise involved in the music business, so they have real, current experience to share. Anna is the office manager ( and an instructor) and is very responsive and accommodating. Their prices are very reasonable.
