Student Feedback

Discover how our lessons transform voices and inspire creativity.

Over the course of almost two years studying under Dr. Blackburn, I have learned so much about myself vocally. Dr. Blackburn embraces and encourages authenticity, yet positively challenges and pushes his students in order for them to grow musically and vocally. The opportunities I have come across would not have been feasible for me without his mentorship and guidance.
