Best vocal coach I’ve ever had and much more. Helped sort out my voice and teenage brain all at the same time. Working with Barbara isn’t just the regular conventional lessons it’s the extra edge that develops the artist in the most healthy expression and gives a singer that edge over competitors when needed. Changed my life.

I started singing again after a fifteen year layoff. Gigs were booking up fast and I knew I needed to step up my performances. I was lucky to find Barbara S.! She not only helped me get my voice back to what it once was, she worked with me on putting a story behind every song. It's amazing how much that helps your overall performance. I've since moved across the country but still use these lessons to this day!

Barbara is a superb vocal coach! She understands how to unlock the beauty and power and range of her students’ voices. She also understands what makes a singer’s voice “listenable”. I recommend her highly!

Barbara cares about her students. She is not just a voice teacher for my son, but a coach and mentor who cares about his comfort level and meets him where he is. She is able to help him express his inner world and tell his story. With a solid background in her musical field, she trains his voice at the appropriate level, so he reaches his full potential. I saw improvement in my son's singing voice after just a few months of working with her and even more so recently. Her music selection for my son has been vibrant, classy, and authentic. She is a gem.

5 stars for Barbara! I still use the warms that she did with me before every performance. She made my voice stronger and I learned how to use my body properly while singing. I’m confident anytime I need to sing somewhere because I was trained by the best.

Music is an artform of deep emotional connection and storytelling, and the best musicians and music coaches reflect that in their teachings. Barbara S is a wonderful and dynamic vocal coach that develops these very things with every student she's trained. All through my high school performing career, Barbara helped me find and develop my personal voice as an artist, with lessons that placed an emphasis not only on storytelling and lyrical interpretation, but also vocal health and maintenance. Moving through college and beyond, she's continuously been a fantastic resource, not only as a mentor but a colleague and friend. I cannot recommend her services enough!

I don't hesitate to give Barbara 5 stars for the work we have done together. Barbara met me exactly where I was at (beginner). She worked with a lot of skill, insight, attunement and empathy to bring me along to the next level, over and over. She is dedicated to bringing out the best in people by calling fourth whatever is inside them into the performance. I also had a lot of fun and enjoyed the sessions immensely, You absolutely cannot go wrong with Barbara. I have learned so much. She is the best.

Working with Barbara is a wonderful experience! She balances technique and storytelling while bringing out the layers in your voice. She helped me audition for a music school that I was accepted into and truly cares about your personal goals with music.
