"Alex Marlowe, Portland, OR I love Voice Lessons with Ellen. I feel like I am in a safe, positive space where I can grow as a singer. Her technical knowledge is incredible and everything is always clearly explained in a way that makes sense to me. Since I was a beginner when I first started lessons, we worked on vocal basics. Then I learned about all of the vocal techniques that the professionals use. I got to be part of choosing which topic of study was next at each session. Itβs really fun and there is no expectation to be perfect so I can stretch and strengthen my voice without feeling nervous.

"As someone completely new to musical instruments, I couldnβt have asked for a better guitar teacher. James made me feel comfortable and confident, even when I didnβt know the basics. His patience and ability to break things down into simple, easy-to-understand steps has made learning not only manageable, but genuinely enjoyable.
