"Leave feeling empowered"

November 23, 2017 Tony Howell & Co.

In the past, I've worked with teachers so focused on the "correct" sound that I was left physically tight, mentally anxious, and emotionally drained. Working with Susan is a different experience. I came to Susan during a vocal growth spurt. When I wasn't yet confident in how to use my new instrument, Susan was there to guide and reassure me that I was on the right path. We've worked together to release body tension and mental blocks that stood in the way of my authentic voice. Adding exercises that incorporate physical movement with Susan has hugely freed up my voice. Susan has allowed me to embrace my individual sound and vocal color, allowing me to grow into repertoire I never thought possible. When working through difficult repertoire with Susan, I leave feeling empowered instead of stressed. She is more than a teacher. She is a mentor, a friend, and a major supporter of all of her students. I am constantly grateful for our work together, and for her as a person.
