“Harmony singing Lessons is beyond excellent. They have been teaching our son for over eight years beginning at 4 years-old. Harmony singing Lessons is tender but rigorous, encouraging but appropriately critical, and forever enthusiastic about his own craft. He takes the student where they want to go musically. At the same time, he challenges them to stretch and go places that they may not have contemplated.
I can recommend Harmony singing Lessons without hesitation for kids and adults. My adult daughter has driven an hour to take lessons from Harmony singing Lessons on how to teach singing.”

“I studied classical singing for ten years as a child in IL. I continued to play, and a few years ago decided to record a CD of my compositions. I wanted to “get back in shape”, and a performer friend referred me to Harmony singing Lessons.
Harmony singing Lessons’s instruction was exactly what I needed, polishing my technique and helping me develop a level of nuance that I never possessed as a teenager! I also had never learned to sing and how to sign at the same time, and in a matter of only a couple weeks Harmony singing Lessons taught me how to accompany myself, which has expanded my songwriting and performing abilities many fold. I highly recommend Harmony singing Lessons as an instructor for both new and seasoned singers ”
–Roth Herrlinger in Wood River , IL
“I feel very enthusiastic about my years of studying the singing with Harmony singing Lessons. My teacher helped me grow tremendously, and I am now a full time music teacher.
Harmony singing Lessons is that rare combination: our instructor was an exquisite classical singing performer and composer, but also quite versatile in popular styles.
. This eventually led me to composing, something I had no idea I was capable of before.
Harmony singing Lessons helped me gain confidence, which is why, although music was not my primary training in my school years, I am now doing full time what I love: teaching the singing”

“Harmony singing Lessons has been teaching my 7 year old daughter for the past 6 months and I must say, I am beyond thrilled with the whole experience. I took singing lessons at her age and it was an entirely different experience
My daughter mentioned that she loved the song “Octopus’s Garden” and next thing you know, he came up with an arrangement that she could handle and also brought singing into the mix. Singing!!! She has now moved on to learning “Imagine.”
