TESTIMONIALS
"EXPERT CHORAL TEACHER"
As a classical singer myself, I wanted to make sure my daughter received a solid and healthy foundation for her own vocal progress. Rita has been the perfect teacher for my daughter as an expert high school choral teacher who knows how to personally connect with high schoolers and how to bring out the best in all types of young voices while blending classical and contemporary vocal pedagogy as appropriate for each singer.

"INSPIRED BY HER ENERGY"
When I first met Mrs. G, I was immediately inspired by her energy and determination. I loved walking into her classroom and being able to feel safe to experiment with my voice. I really enjoyed my time in the classroom, so I decided to start private voice lessons with her. Since then, my voice has grown immensely and I look forward to every lesson. Together, we've worked several audition pieces, but also explored other genres, ranging from musical theater to Italian art songs.
