Client Reviews
"Before working with Jae, I took lessons from a vocal instructor who said I was still too quiet and wouldn't be able to carry my voice over a band. Jae on the other hand, has helped me with beginning belting and I am very happy with how my voice has changed in only four months! They know all sorts of exercises which they describe in detail so I can easily understand what to do. I especially like being redirected when there's something to explore with my voice. I feel like Jae is really listening to how I sing and helps me to improve." -- Malina H.
"Jae is single handedly restoring my confidence in myself and my voice. I've been singing for the last fifteen years and have never come across a teacher or mentor who is as educated on how the voice works as Jae is. In my lessons we explore technique & style while also taking time to stop and observe what I'm feeling as a singer. I leave my lessons feeling supported, educated and for the first time in my life I feel like I am finally singing with my own voice. Jae is giving me the tools to figure things out for myself, so even when I'm not in a lesson, I can troubleshoot if there's something I have an issue with and as a singer this is an invaluable skill. I could not be more grateful for their attention to detail, kindness and willingness to share their vast array of skills and knowledge. I definitely hit the jackpot when I found Jae!" -- Kaitlyn R.
