The Vocal Artist's Studio

"I've been studying with Eileen as a private student for about a year. She's my third voice teacher since i started about 3 years ago. She is by far the most knowledgeable and experienced person I've worked with. She brings a wide range of approaches to bear, and can quickly hone in on any issues. Not only does Eileen know how to expand the student's technical skills, she knows the emotive side of the art as well. It is tempting to try to learn singing on your own, but that is the hard way. There is so much going on with learning to sing that, in my opinion, a talented teacher can speed up development by a lot. Otherwise it can be overwhelming, and easy to get sidetracked without help. I highly recommend trying a few lessons with Eileen. She's helped my singing a lot, though of course there's always room to grow!"

"Eileen changed my life actually. I came to her with a voice that needed training and compassion. I have learned so much from her and in the process my voice has grown as have I personally. She taught me how to let go of the music editor and to just sing. I have learned anatomy, physiology, sight reading skills and so much more. I now understand my self so much more as a musician and as a performer."

"I feel very fortunate to have found Eileen to be my voice teacher. I don't read music and had a lot of trouble keeping my voice from going to a lower pitch. Eileen met me exactly where i was and over time not only did I continue to learn about the vocal mechanism, resonance and phonation but how to maintain my voice for longer periods of time. I began singing songs and learning to read music to follow scores. I found out I was a soprano and in time I was a able to join a chorus of 80 people, which I have been in for 3 years. Eileen has many skills which she incorporates into her sessions. She is supportive and always finds a way to break things down so new learning can occur. I highly recommend Eileen for a voice teacher who can work with a student at any level and bring them into their own talent."

"Eileen is a highly skilled and schooled teacher of voice across a wise spectrum of musical styles and methodologies. More than that, though– and of the highest importance to me– is that she is deeply intuitive and curious human being with a compassionate heart, a desire for service, and an extraordinary range of complimentary practices, from spiritual ( she his an interfaith minister) to body work and psychology. Work/play with Eileen develops more than just one's physical vocal instrument. What develops is one's voice as agency in a wide, eclectic world of experience."
