Testimonials
“Cassandra and I have been working on overall self-esteem and how that was impacting other areas of my life. When there was resistance, a simple question would be asked, and she'd become a sound board to not only get me to identify the challenge but work as a team to find a solution.”
— Pam C - Client
“Cassandra has been a source of inspiration in my life since I was 14. Starting as my vocal coach, she challenged me to be my best, while allowing me room to express my true self and originality. Throughout my years in lessons, her role in my life became substantial. She has been there to mentor me as I navigated high school, and now life as an adult. When I couldn't find my worth, Cassandra often took me by the hand and showed me where to find it. She never let me doubt myself, instead, she worked with me and allowed me to find it for myself. There are not enough words to express how impactful her influence has been. Her genuine concern for others well-being is truly unique. She believes in everyone's right to be, exist and prosper. Even though I have moved away, and no longer have her as a vocal coach, I still come to her for guidance. Cassandra has been my role model in life, and I have appreciated her wisdom and patience. I can confidently say I would not be who I am today without her.”

Over the years, she has helped me to gain the confidence to know my worth and own my skills and talents. Her lessons have helped me professionally, musically, and personally. Nearly every day I find myself using strategies, ideas, and advice I have learned from Cassandra.”

— Daniel C - Colleague
“I was one of Cassandra‘s first vocal students several years ago. After our first lesson she advised me that I had the potential to be very good, but I would have to put in the work. My heart and determination lead me to put in the work, and I’m so glad I did. Not only was Cassandra a great voice teacher, but she also became a great role model and mentor for my professional career. She’s compassionate, honest, and not afraid to tell it like it is. She truly gave me strength in my abilities, and the space to shine.”

“Cassandra was my vocal teacher/coach for several years. I always appreciated her balance of helping me get my work done as well as taking the time to support me through challenges where I needed to shed a tear or unload frustrations. She understands that getting from point A to point B as a vocalist can be technically challenging as well as emotionally challenging. She is organized, reliable, structured, highly motivating, and cares deeply about her commitment to the success of her clients. I highly recommend Cassandra!”

Mike Hartman - Dreams Do Come True
"I just recently turned 60. I have had a life long dream to be able to sing. When I started with Cassandra, I literally could only sing 3 notes. I just learned my first song. I could not be more pleased. Cassandra's teaching style is an eclectic mix. She has lots of tricks. She has an unbelievable understanding of the mechanics of voice and she is a very skilled musician. Cassandra combines a perfect mix of encouragement and tough love. I could not be happier with my decision to take lessons from Cassandra."
Debbie Firak - Cassandra's a gem!
Cassandra is passionate and truly inspirational. She's able to quickly identify areas that need improvement (and works on helping you fix these). Yet, she's also warm and encouraging, helping you see & appreciate your own strengths. I'm excited to be beginning my new journey!"
Silvana C. - Boy did I get my money's worth!
"I had my first voice lesson with Cassandra yesterday. It was not only fun, little light bulbs went off all over the place and I had several AHA! moments. I had taken voice lessons from one other teacher in the past, and while it was productive, I was not inspired as I was with Cassandra. I'm such a beginner that I don't even know what questions to ask! Cassandra explained things I didn't think to ask. Love her!"
Tanya P. - Cassandra's genius lies in her teaching style....
"Cassandra has been teaching our 13 year old daughter to sing for just under a year now. Cassandra's passion, talent and fervor for music is evident in every session. Not only is she an extremely talented musician and vocalist herself, (we love her album!) I believe her genius lies in her teaching style and approach with people. Every time Emma picks up a mic to practice or perform I can honestly say I think of Cassandra and what a blessing she has been for Emma. Cassandra, YOU ROCK!"
Karen T. - Public Speaking training
"I signed up for one lesson in public speaking and by the end of the first session decided to go with the 12 lesson pkg. Cassandra inspired me!"

I have watched her students blossom into confident, talented singers and songwriters. She is passionate about what she does and the results are outstanding."
Lori P
"I have known Cassandra for the past 4 years. During this time my daughter Jori took voice lessons once a week from her. Cassandra helped Jori vastly improve her vocal range, as well as mentored her in the development of her music career. Cassandra guided and encouraged Jori to discover her own style, she provided opportunities for her to perform in public, and emotionally was a support system as she ventured into development as a recording artist. I would highly recommend Cassandra, a highly motivated, passionate vocal coach that will also assist you in development of music performance."

Angie Fridono - Second Time Around band
"As a vocalist in a rock band, Cassandra used her skills and knowledge as a professional singer to coach me along with my singing ability. Over a period of a year, each week Cassandra trained me to work on vocal exercises and songs that challenged my range and style. Practicing her exercises and techniques helped me to develop my voice to a level that I am very happy with and made me a better singer today. I would not hesitate to call on Cassandra for her services in the future."
Nancy Graham
"Cassandra has a special knack for helping her students believe in themselves. Her ability to help me build my vocal skills along with my confidence level is priceless to me. Encouragement is one of the cornerstones of the time she spends with students."
Keith Johnson - OffSquare Music
"We first hired Cassandra and her band in August of 2001. I've seen her in various configurations; as a lead singer in a band, as a back up musician for her students, and singing her own compositions as a single performer. In each instance her musicianship and creativity has shone through. She is very supportive of her students."
Cindi Carrigan - Owner/Operator at Carrigan Design
"I started working with Cassandra in 1993, a frustrated church choir member with no sense of rhythm and no sense of the range my voice could achieve. Cassandra's methods not only made it possible to hit higher, truer notes, she improved my vocal skills to the extent that I was able to secure roles in several local musicals and as a compensated soloist in both classical and contemporary venues. I would highly recommend her to anyone serious about improving their vocal skills"
Tim Merkel - Cassandra is professional, prepared and passionate.
"I've been to a lot of Songwriter events in my career. This was fun, just the right length and full of thought provoking, practical content. And I may have got a 35-year-old unfinished song of the dime!!!"
