TESTIMONIALS

 

 

Our child began taking vocal lessons for the first time two years ago. Natalie Gassi came highly recommended by friends, a mother and daughter who both take vocal leasons there as well. We picked up the phone and made one of the best decisions we have made for our child.

 

Not only does Natalie have the education, but that, coupled with the extensive experience she has had made our choice easy. From the very first lesson, our child was made to feel comfortable and was able to learn in what has to be the most welcoming environment made possible by Natalie herself. Her ability to get the most out our child, is second only to how much my child was able to learn, each and every lesson.

Natalie is so kind and patient and truly instilled in me a love of singing. She supported all of my singing goals, assisted me with school and summer program applications, and was always encouraging. I am now completing a master's degree in singing at McGill University and will always be grateful to Natalie for her support on this journey. ~ Janelle H.

Natalie was an incredible teacher and singing coach. I found her extremely kind and approachable during our lessons, which made learning correct singing technique so much easier. The welcoming atmosphere of improvement she created made me feel comfortable singing during both lessons and recitals, which I really appreciated as a quiet and reserved individual. She has an amazing ability to hear subtle aspects of singing technique that could use improvement, but she can also clearly communicate that desired improvement to students. Her communication abilities helped me stay focused and motivated since I could hear and understand what she wanted me to work on. I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a singing teacher as her skill and wonderful personality make lessons incredibly useful and fun. ~ Joshua I.

I began singing with Natalie approximately 9 years ago and cannot recommend her enough! From the very beginning she was incredibly positive and supportive of my attempts. She has encouraged me to expand my range and reportoire all while providing me with easy to understand direction. I do not have a background in music but she has always kept me on track. I signed my daughter up for lessons as well and Natalie has had just as much success with her! Natalie has fostered a love and appreciation of music in a welcoming environment. You will not regret taking lessons with her! ~ Emily V.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my daughter Marlow’s musical journey with Natalie. Marlow’s voice has evolved tremendously over the last few years under Natalie’s tutelage and support. Natalie’s guidance, expertise and positive attitude have been invaluable, and Marlow’s confidence and love of music and performing has blossomed. I highly recommend Natalie as a vocal coach to anyone who wants to grow as a singer. ~ Shawna B.
