Testimonials

“When I began with Dinah as my vocal coach, I had thoughts of developing a stronger voice for singing in my church choir. She taught me voice techniques and principles that hold true for singing as well as for life itself. She taught me about relaxing, being present and communicating through singing. Little did I know that through her encouragement and gentle, yet firm, coaching I would gain the confidence to sing solo in front of an audience! Dinah has made me believe in myself and I am now doing things I only once dreamed of. I hope you know you have made a difference in my life.”

Chris

“I’ve been taking voice lessons from Dinah for several months now. I have to say, this has been an amazing experience for me. Dinah is an outstanding vocal coach. Already I’ve learned so much about how to use my voice. Dinah is an excellent teacher and guide. In addition to sharing her own experience and expertise in her lessons, she offers practical and fun vocal exercises that have helped me see quick results. I never realized singing was such an artform and could be so much fun!”

Dawn

    “Dinah has opened a whole new world of singing for me. I was searching for a voice instructor who performed a variety of music and who could really help a student strengthen her vocal power. Not only can Dinah quickly enhance your ability, she offers highly personalized workshops that bring forth the true spiritual element of singing that truly lifts the soul. Singing during my pregnancy has been such a beautiful way to communicate with my baby to be. Also, I have learned some incredible techniques for enhancing my breathing as well as comfort with making sound without inhibition. What a true gift singing with Dinah has been for the both of us!”

    Jennifer

    “A year seems like such a short time to get over 20 years of ‘stuff’ about my voice. But because of Dinah’s constant encouragement, because of the techniques she has taught me and keeps pushing me to improve on, and because of her heart-to-hearts in which she zooms in on hidden fears that still hold me back, that ‘stuff’ is quickly disappearing. Twelve months ago, I cried at the thought of getting on stage and at the thought that I never would get on stage. The other day after performing [for the fourth time], I didn’t cry, but I felt like it out of true appreciation for what Dinah has done for me and for my own courage to hang in there and keep on getting on that stage, open my mouth and ‘pour.’ I am so grateful that I met Dinah.”
