Eric Owens, bass-baritone

“In Susan you will find an artist who is always seeking the utmost quality of musicianship, and a steadfast commitment to serving this precious art form that brings joy to so many; and it is with that joy that she strives, each and every day, to live up to the high standards that she has set for herself and everyone around her.  It always puts me at ease knowing that whenever I coach with her, she’ll have an understanding and insight of whatever repertoire I put in front of her, and she’ll have a mastery of all things necessary to have the music be what it’s supposed to be.”  Eric Owens, bass-baritone…

Amanda Robie, mezzo-soprano

“Both the master class and the individual consultation were extremely refreshing and valuable.  I appreciate your candid opinion and advice… It was great to get an honest opinion… It was also very helpful to get repertoire suggestions that will further showcase my strengths.  Most importantly, the exercises you gave us are invaluable.  I have already started to incorporate some in my practice and look forward to doing the work and hearing the results.”  Amanda Robie, mezzo-soprano…
