TESTIMONIALS:
“During my three-and-a-half years of study at Whole Arts Voice Studio I have grown as a vocalist and performer in musical theatre and classical repertoire. I’ve also learned I’m not limited to singing one specific style and my passion for singing has expanded a great deal! I appreciate the supportive and encouraging atmosphere, the community, the studio classes, the group practice sessions and especially the performance opportunities. Barbara is kind and understanding, personable, talented and resourceful. I recommend WAVS because it is a safe and welcoming environment that encourages growth.”
“I studied singing with Barbara for one year and found her to be positive, affirming, knowledgeable, patient, professional and pleasant. My experience instilled the confidence I needed to resume singing after a decades-long hiatus. I valued the performance opportunity, the flexible scheduling and the supportive atmosphere. Yes, I recommend Whole Arts Voice Studio and Barbara. Personally, I achieved a meaningful goal: I started singing once again.”
“Whole Arts Voice Studio was created with care, love, hard work and expertise – all qualities that continue as the foundation of its mission. Far more than the typical “one-hour-a-week” model, each WAVS student additionally enjoys Studio Classes, Group Practice Sessions, Community, and Performances, all wrapped in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.Barbara is a tireless professional who seeks to treat the whole person as an artist, not just a singer. She has the ability to transfer her knowledge of technique and vocal fundamentals in an understandable and immediate way, which is the rare hallmark of an effective teacher. Her professional experience and training are second to none.
I recommend WAVS with all my heart! There you will find kindness, understanding, acceptance and a viable path to unlocking your unique aspirations.”
