I just wanted to take time to thank you for the excellent voice instruction you’ve given and continue to give to my daughter, Lauren. I was impressed from the very first lesson. You are a gifted professional who is able to address the needs and talents of your individual students. Your warm and caring nature is also very much appreciated.

What I like most is that Lauren is learning to sing in a healthy and technically correct way and that she's had several opportunities to practice what she's learning through Voice Studio performances. I couldn't be happier with her progress. Thank You!

I have been taking SLS lessons with Katie Guthorn for over 3 years and have benefited tremendously. Katie is a well trained, kind, creative teacher with an excellent ear. Since our lessons must be over the phone, these attributes become even more imperative.

Each lesson imparts valuable information to body, mind and spirit. Less than optimal vocal production tendencies are exposed and trained with “antidotes”- vocalizing which isolates those tendencies in order to eliminate bad habits and replace them with excellent ones. I am learning how to sing with a more relaxed larynx, to narrow vowels and to calm down my ingrained habit to over-blow. Just these things alone are creating great change, but there are many other wonderful shifts in my ability and understanding of voice. The best part, however, is the exhilarating experience of effortless vocalizing when vowels are kept narrow with correct balance of cord closure and air pressure!

We all know that joyful, effortless singing is possible and we love the accompanying resonance; yet the ability to do so usually requires help. A great teacher is one who can hear and feel the obstacles to easy production and intelligently work that terrain until those obstacles are gone. Finding such a teacher and method is, in itself, not an easy task.

Katie rises to the occasion at each new plateau or discovery. If you love to sing, then these lessons will transform your life!

Iwould like to recommend Katie Guthorn as a teaching instructor. She is always very professional and yet has a great way with children as well as adults. She is able to target in on problem areas and help her students achieve their goals.

Katie has been most helpful with my eleven year old son and has helped him expand his vocal range more than an octave. My son said that "Katie's very nice and her technique is really helpful !"

One of the most important attributes that Katie has is that she is a skillful vocal coach. She is able to build confidence as well as help develop useful vocal skills.

I would definitely recommend Katie Guthorn for adults as well as children.
Sincerely,
Megan Alexander, mother of Caleb Alexander, 11, Singer/Dancer/Actor
