Teaching Testimonials
Read what Justine’s students are saying about her instruction!
“When I said I really aspired to be a well-rounded vocalist, Justine’s response was "and I can absolutely help you with that". And I knew she meant it. I have felt so empowered, so heard by and so lifted by Justine. Singing is such a vulnerable thing to begin with, and I have big dreams when it comes to what I want to achieve, which adds vulnerability. And she has only ever made me feel like her purpose in working with me is to make those dreams come true.”
- Kristen S., advanced voice student, age 31, regular performer in professional & community theater productions
“Coming from a background of learning almost solely from YouTube videos and experimentation, it’s been a game changer to have someone give personalized and detailed feedback on my technique! Justine is actually the reason I’ve had the confidence to step out in faith and pursue music as a career. For so long, I doubted that it was possible, but thanks to her example and encouragement I finally have the faith to take the plunge!”
-Stephen O., age 19, recently admitted to Berklee College of Music for songwriting and voice
“Justine’s teaching style is incredibly flexible and perfectly suited to beginners, which has been a tremendous help in my learning journey. From the very beginning, she took the time to ensure I felt comfortable, focusing on foundational techniques and pacing lessons slowly.”
- Benyamin T., beginner voice student, age 25
“Justine is a great listener which allows her to cater suggestions to what the individual needs instead of just recycling the same techniques and suggestions for every person like my other teachers have done in the past. I have always been nervous to get silly or vulnerable with any kind of art but she makes it easier to let my walls down. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes when you feel like you have someone in your corner who is really invested in your journey!”
- Kim M., advanced voice student, age 31, regular community & professional theater performer
“My kids have grown tremendously as musicians under her fantastic instruction, and most importantly, they love learning music and playing the piano, largely due to her kindness, patience, and incredible musicality. We could not ask for a better piano teacher!”
