"I really LOVED learning about the musicians' daily lives, because they really gave me a view as to what I should expect if I am going/would like to have the same career as them. I also LOVED learned about their health tips, as it is something I have been pondering over for quite a while. So... now that I know what to do/consider, I can follow through with those health tips and, hopefully, change the way I am living now so that I be healthy for the rest of my life! And, lastly, I LOVED learning about their college/high school experiences, as it gave me a perspective of what things/activities I should be doing now in order for me to take the appropriate steps needed to reach my goals. I want to remember that, when it comes to auditions, I should go in feeling confident. I should also go in feel myself. I shouldn't let the pressure/want of being a SPECIFIC character get to me... as it could hinder my performance. Additionally, if I don't get cast, I should just walk out saying, "Hey! You know, what? That was a good audition. I'm HAPPY."

Group Voice Class: Building a Strong Voice. B. Amber Nicole Dilger, instructor.
Join us as we explore the basics of singing while incorporating multiple learning modes and styles. We'll focus together on learning a solo song (chosen by the previous participants), which you can choose to perform for the group at the end of our class. Group voice is a great option for those who like to have peer interaction and encouragement, as well as those who are looking for a way to explore singing without the commitment of private lessons. There are also a number of private students who like to join just because it's so much fun! We tend to focus on learning popular songs.

Adult Group Voice Class: Safe Haven. B. Amber Nicole Dilger, instructor.
As adults, we rarely engage with our vulnerability as progressing learners. In a very small and supportive group, learn the joy of sharing your music with others... in whatever shape it is currently in. "Practice makes progress" is an often used quote in our studio, and together we find the beauty in the rough spots as well as the smooth. Each participant can focus on whatever project song they are currently loving. Fundamentals of healthy singing will be covered each class.

Performing participants will be selected ahead of time, and everyone is welcome to participate in observing and discussing.

When I first came to you, I was unable to even participate in singing happy birthday to my family members and I wanted to free my voice and maybe my self in the process. You helped me a lot! In the years since and especially recently, I've been able to see exactly how much you helped me. Actually, coming to you for voice lessons jump-started a deeply transformative healing process and over the last 7 years I've freed myself in many ways.

After I started taking lessons from you, I started to view music, lyrics, instrumentation and vocal presentation in ways I never did previously. I enjoy all music more because of that, and that has caused me to broaden my musical palette.

There's no question in my mind that, in my life thus far, you have had the single largest influence on me as a musician! I've had two or three teachers over the years, and other musicians have inspired me to want to play, but I never understood the artistry of telling the story until I started taking lessons from you. That's so huge to me! It was like a missing piece of a puzzle finally found.

~Steve Graham
