What people are saying”¦

“Lisa is very professional, hard-working and unassuming. She is gifted in her ability to communicate with others, and is always positive, sensitive and caring in her approach. I have seen her draw the very best from other singers in her leadership.”

- Shirley Andress, Professional Vocalist and Voice Teacher

“Lisa was able to explain complex and sometimes confusing concepts in a simple and easy-to-understand way, it was just phenomenal! She is a talented musician and singer, but most importantly, she is a genuine and caring individual who really puts so much of herself into your training. You feel a special one-on-one connection immediately and throughout your time with her.”

- Michael Robert, Former Student

“Lisa is an accomplished singer and keyboard player, a gifted songwriter, and a thoughtful and involved “musician citizen” passionate about the positive role of music in the world. Working with her first as one of my students, then as a co-writer and collaborator, and knowing that she has all the tools at her command of Berklee’s comprehensive training in musicianship, I am confident Lisa will be an inspiring teacher, helping each student find their unique voice and their growing edge.”
