Natalie has taught me so much since I first started with her during the Pandemic at the age of 7. I thought our lessons through zoom were going to be difficult, butI learned so much from her and had so much fun at the same time. After thePandemic, our in-person lessons were even more enjoyable and fun. She helps me format the lyrics of my own songs and gives me such great confidence at the same time when I sing them. Natalie helped with recording a song I wrote about bullying that I entered in a contest for school. She knew the melody I wanted and helped put it all together. That song allowed me to win out of the entire school district and place in the county as a finalist. She is talented in so many areas of music. Her background is very impressive and inspiring to me in so many ways. I always look forward to my lessons with her because I improve a little more each time. She is so patient and kind and always encourages me to do my best.

"I always walk out happier after a lesson with Natalie. She is by far the best voice coach I have ever had, and one of the most skilled musicians I have ever known. She has revolutionized my abilities in composition, voice, and piano. When I started lessons with Natalie a few years ago, I didn't know it would draw a line in my life with a "before Natalie" and an "after Natalie." But now, looking back on the "before," I see how tremendously she has added to my musicianship, and all the opportunities I would never have had if not for her. Any musician who wants to improve in leaps should look to Natalie.”

“Natalie was the first person in my life who helped me truly find my voice. For many years, I knew singing was my passion, but I never believed in my voice. I didn’t believe my voice was that powerful. I believed there would be someone more talented, more experienced who would come along. But Natalie singlehandly trained my voice, and it has never been this phenomenal. My voice has grown tremendously. Natalie has such a beautiful approach to music, due to having such multidisciplinary paths and connections to music. Our sessions were useful, fun, and exciting. We always achieved something new and she cares so deeply for our sessions. The breathing exercises and lip trills, tracks, and more, helped me so much. I have never felt this confident in my journey with music. Natalie taught me with nothing except absolute care and tenderness. She supported me, never degrading me for a mistake, just guided me on how to fix it with loving arms. She celebrated me and cared for me and that’s what made me change in the best ways possible. She helped me achieve my dream of getting into the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts for Voice, and she helped me know my worth as an artist. I will be forever grateful.”

She serves as not only my voice teacher, but also my piano teacher, songwriting teacher and even someone to check up on my vocal health. Throughout our lessons, she always keeps a kind and sunny attitude, while also giving critiques. I have been able to progress in many fields of music, all from taking lessons with her. Natalie establishes an environment that helps me to succeed, but also gives me room to grow on my own. It is an assurance that I will continue to improve under her tutelage.”

Through my lessons with Natalie, we continue to develop a powerful vocal range and fine-tune my unique style as an artist. I am able to approach her with ideas that we can develop together.
