Kasia has improved my voice, technique and confidence immensely and I will always be so grateful to her. Right from my first lesson Kasia began to improve my voice and my knowledge surrounding the voice. Helping me dive into songs with a new mindset. Kasia uses technical vocabulary however always ensures to explain everything in detail, in a way that is accessible to students. She always suggests fantastic repertoire for me and knows exactly what songs will suit my voice but still challenge me! Kasia helped me prepare for auditions for music/drama school and she has a lot of insight into all the different colleges and their requirements. She is bubbly, very talented, knowledgeable and she goes above and beyond to help me reach my goals. I'm now studying for my degree in Music and can honestly say Kasia helped me to feel so prepared for these next steps and I use something she has taught me in every lesson!
