Vera's Music Academy 500 North Osceola Avenue, Clearwater, FL 33755

"Vera is a wonderful vocal coach. She’s a pro and is able pick-up nuances in my vocals to provide coaching that is spot on. I’ve made improvements week after week for just over a year now. I went from never singing outside of my shower at 54 years old to performing for a crowd. This is jus the beginning. I am so thankful for having met Vera. She is a talented and caring vocal coach. We have a lot of fun every week together. I’m happy to call her my teacher and my friend."

"Vera is a wonderful instructor! She has a deep base of knowledge to pull from which is incredibly helpful and is straight-forward with her feedback and truly wants to see you succeed. I've learned so much from her in my short time taking vocal lessons with her, and always look forward to our next lesson, as I know I'll take away a lot of useful information to help further the use of my voice in pursuit of joining a band. She not only provides a great foundation, but gives you real-world knowledge, which has proven to be particularly useful for my situation of being an aspiring vocalist, looking to sing live."

"I have just completed my first year of lessons with Vera and I must say that I am completely pleased with her instruction, her guidance, and her ability to teach each student individually. When I first started taking lessons with her she knew immediately what I needed to do to improve my voice and she gently guided me in the right song selection for my voice and that would boost my confidence in singing. She is truly teacher of music and voice. I have also participated and assisted with her student concerts and I am so very impressed with all of her students. Their improvement from one concert to the next is very noticeable and that is true testament of Vera's teaching. I moved from voice lessons to piano lessons and I continue to be impressed with Vera's ability to notice when your confidence is fading and move you in a direction that allows you to be successful and renew your confidence. I can't say enough good things about Vera. She is truly an excellent teacher with an amazing spirit and a beautiful friend. Although I took classes with other people, I never took a lesson until I went to Vera's Music Academy!"

"Our 10 year old daughter has been taking voice lessons with Vera for the last 7 months. She is a fabulous teacher and our daughter has grown tremendously. She helped her write and compose her 1st original song! We had other teachers but none like Vera. She has a gift for allowing each student to follow his or her own creative longing. She does not put anyone in a box which ultimately leads to her students doing what they love and following their own inner passion."

"I have been taking voice lessons with Vera for a few months now, and she has been amazing! She has helped me not only with my voice, but has also given me great guidance on my musical career, such as helping me figure out which direction I want to take my music professionally. She is very pleasant to work with, very reliable and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her! I highly recommend her! Thank you for everything you've done Vera!! P.S. The beautiful water view of her studio is also a plus:)"
