    When I came to Zoe a couple of months ago after a long hiatus from formal singing, my throat felt very tight--my range had gone down to just over an octave. A couple of months later, I can sing nearly three octaves, and my voice is more relaxed than ever. Ive found my falsetto, and every week my voice is more resonant and free.
    Zoe is incredibly knowledgeable about the voice both from a technical and a practical perspective. In lessons, she is careful to differentiate among the things she tells me what is actually (physically) going on with my voice organs and what is merely a feeling or a metaphor she is using as a didactic tool. And that is just a small testament to her technical knowledge and the way she uses it with her students. She also has a wealth of personal experience and anecdotes from her years teaching students. It seems every hiccup Ive encountered, she has either personally dealt with it (such as unlearning certain common but unhealthy vocal techniques) or has had students with the exact problem.
    In addition to her impressive resume and evident teaching ability, she has been very considerate and understanding with me, while maintaining high and professional standards for the quality and work she expects out of me. I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough.

    I would highly recommend Zoe as a teacher. Every lesson I have had has been approached with care and has been FULL of helpful information regarding technique, musicality, history and so much more. This has lead me to establish healthy habits and has facilitated more growth than I thought was possible in the months I have spent with her as my teacher. As someone with a degree in music who has had many instructors teach me various instruments I can say with confidence that the value of Zoe’s lessons is exceptional. She creates an environment that challenges you without judgement allowing you to move at a pace you are comfortable with without the risk of you ever getting bored. I look forward to my lesson every week and I am excited to see how much I will grow and improve going forward with Zoe as my teacher.

    I have studied voice with Zoe for just six months, and in that time, the techniques of breathing and vocal production she has patiently taught me have led to a much more consistent and beautiful tone. Her coaching on diction, languages and expression is impeccable. I look forward to each lesson and each practice session, knowing that certain and rewarding progress will result.

    Frequently asked questions

    In the first lesson, we assess the specific needs of the student, and begin right away implementing the training.  If the student is studying voice, for example, we will initially explore the vocal range, flexibility, tone, and balance of the registers to get an idea of vocal function and vocal health, especially as it applies to the student's repertoire; then we will discuss a plan, answer questions, and immediately begin the training - all in the first one hour lesson.

    Education is the key that opens many doors to both personal and career success.  I have been fortunate to have had some great teachers who were extremely knowledgeable, kind, and had the ability to communicate the information in ways that I was able to understand, and as a result, this is an approach I also take - to present the material in ways that the student can understand, which requires flexibility in communication skills.
