Testimonials
Dave Lucas (Adult student)
Lisa is an amazing teacher who has hugely improved my singing, my general abilities as a musician, and my confidence around writing, recording, and performing music. Her extensive education and experience allow her to provide detailed, accurate, useful feedback and instruction on everything from the physical aspects of singing to improving tone, music theory, adapting quality techniques to various musical styles, and generally learning to sing like the best version of yourself. She brings a great attitude, is always upbeat and compassionate, and is enthusiastic about any song or style you’d like to work on. I learn new things every lesson, even after 20+ years as a musician and 5+ years of vocal lessons. Our community is lucky to have her talent and knowledge!
Gaumita Paulian (Mom of two young daughters)
Both of my children have been taking voice lessons with Lisa for 2 years now. She is an amazing teacher who is able to break down the complexities of singing in a manner that is easy for kids to understand and follow. Lisa is incredibly knowledgeable, talented, patient and encouraging. She helps instill a sense of self confidence and accomplishment in her students which is priceless. Lisa's assiduous efforts are clearly demonstrated in the strong, controlled vocals of her students. We feel extremely fortunate to have her as our children's teacher.
Lauren Van Duzer (Mom of 9-year-old daughter)
My daughter has been working with Dr. Romero since she was a tiny little girl and it’s been such a wonderful experience for her! She’s always enjoyed opera and Dr. Romero has encouraged this while also exposing her to many other types of fun musical pieces. We are thankful to have found such a knowledgeable and kind voice teacher!
Ian Watson (College student)
I have been taking voice lessons with Lisa since 2017. Initially, I was terrified of having voice lessons with a new music teacher due to the experiences I had in the past. The feelings of fear I had disappeared when we started talking. She was genuinely interested in why I wanted to improve my singing ability, my musical background, and me as a person. I looked and look forward to every voice lesson, because Lisa is personable, entertaining, and extremely educated in music. Lisa cares more than how good a person is at singing. She takes interest in topics I start that reside outside of music. I cannot recommend Lisa enough. Taking voice lessons with her is one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
Sara Vivas (Mom of two young daughters)
Lisa instructed both of my daughters in voice for almost 10 years! During that entire time period we saw (or I should say, "heard!") amazing progress and growth in my daughters' vocal abilities. She tailored lessons and practice pieces to my daughters' interests, and chose pieces that would help them stretch vocally and achieve exemplary results. We participated in the student recitals and were able to see the influence and expertise she conveyed to all of her students, from young children to adults. Not only is Lisa a talented vocal instructor, but she is also a capable and efficient business owner. She demonstrates ownership, accountability, and good faith in all of our interactions with her. Thank you for many years of excellent vocal lessons!
Fabiana Negron (Hich school senior)
Everything I have learned with Ms. Lisa has allowed me to evolve as a singer. I continue to use everything I have learned from her in every single one of my performances. Her patience with me as I am taught new practices and techniques allows me to feel comfortable with myself. I feel safe in the teaching environment she has created and I am forever grateful.
Damarius Robinson (Adult student)
I'm delighted to share my testimonial about Dr. Lisa Romero. Her coaching has been transformative, enhancing my understanding of music and voice. With her guidance, I've gained valuable insights into technique and principles, enriching my musical journey. I eagerly anticipate each lesson and am excited about the creative progress we make together in singing.
Shifra Armon, Ph.D. (Adult student)
I began studying voice as an adult learner with Dr. Romero (Lisa) two years ago. With Lisa as my instructor, I am acquiring musical terminology and vocal technique in an organic student-centered way rather than according to a fixed curriculum. I choose my own repertoire, but whether it is an Italian aria that I heard on the radio or a French cabaret number, there is always something new and motivating to learn.
Lisa has a wonderful knack for teaching. We always practice warm-up scales, but she also demonstrates body and breath exercises, and suggests colorful analogies to help me understand the mechanics of singing. She uses whatever score we are working on to unpack the mysteries of music theory. Most importantly, she relates with kindness and patience to the ups-and-downs that come with acquiring new skills. I have not yet performed at a recital, but Dr. Romero has already helped me reach my goal of singing with a choir.
I look forward to my voice lessons with Lisa every week.
Rikhil Gurrala (High school freshman)
I have been taking vocal lessons with Dr. Romero for over five years and she has greatly helped me improve my singing voice. With her guidance, I have gained confidence and skill in my singing abilities. Without her, I would never have had the confidence or preparedness to audition for a musical and get a leading role as a high school freshman! I am very thankful for her impact on my life!
Kelsey Schultz (Adult student)
Since starting voice lessons with Lisa a year ago, many things in my life have dramatically improved. Lisa's kind and patient approach to teaching is not limited to technical vocal strengthening, but also improving the confidence, posture, and breathing skills necessary to produce good sound. These lessons and breathing methods have not only improved my singing, but have also helped me speak more clearly in professional settings and reduced anxiety in general. I highly recommend Lisa!
Shawnie Surmeier (Adult student)
Lisa has been a fantastic voice coach. I was a classically trained vocalist nearly 20 years ago and recently decided to start putting more time into my music and start performing again. Since I started working with Lisa, I’ve seen a huge improvement with my voice and technique! She is thorough, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I enjoy my sessions and appreciate her work!
Elaine Jacobson (Adult student)
I started taking lessons from Dr Romero because I was tired of being nervous about singing in public. I've so enjoyed the lessons and the progress that I've made that I've been taking lessons for 19 years now. I especially enjoy the studio recitals which allow me to work on solo singing and stage fright. I highly recommend Dr Romero for all types of singers.
Kipp Vaughn (High school freshman)
Dr. Romero has been my voice teacher for just under a year, and has helped me experience tremendous growth. Voice lessons have improved my musical theatre career so much. Thank you Dr. Romero!
Tom McDermott (Adult student)
Lisa is a great instructor who is able to adapt her teaching approach to any level that her students are at. She will help you improve, whether you are a serious voice student pursuing a career as a performer, or just a busy parent who would like to sing a little better. She is a very understanding and kind person and will put you at ease if you have any anxiety. I highly recommend her!
