Testimonials:

"Before, my record company use to hate it when I wanted to sing on my recordings. They would be polite and try to insist that I rap instead, saying I sounded better when I just rapped. But now, after about eight or nine lessons at A Sharp, they love my singing and they don't want me to rap any more! They want me to sing all the time."

"My music is very important to me. I tried this other vocal course that made a lot of really big promises, but after ten lessons, I learned absolutely nothing. None of what the teacher was saying made any sense to me at all. I had spent a lot of money and I was discouraged, but A Sharp's ad looked promising so I tried that too. Well! In just the introductory lesson, I learned more than I had ever imagined there could be to know. So many aspects of the voice that I didn't even know existed. I know my singing improved dramatically. I'm also a producer and the owner of a recording studio. Sometimes, I get a client who's singing is not really up to par and I always say, "Hey, you're paying me a lot of money to produce your songs here, you really should go to A Sharp for a few singing lessons before we record the vocals." When they do, the improvement is always substantial."

"Before I started taking lessons at A Sharp, I was abusing my throat so badly when I sang that when I was done, I could see that inside it would be all red and raw and swollen and sometimes I would actually spit out blood. Nicole taught me how to use my diaphragm muscles instead of my throat, and how to sing with a raunchy sound using a technique that doesn't do me any harm. It sounds way better now, because she also taught me how to get a better projection and tonality and where my voice used to be thin and restricted, now I can just open right up and get a really big full sound. With the ability to sing well came the confidence to try to sing professionally, and now I do it all the time with my band.
