Testimonials
What my students say…
“I started lessons with Milena at the tail-end of my recovery from a vocal injury I had suffered…I had spent years taking my voice for granted, including never warming up, and it turned out that meeting Milena at this time was crucial to my recovery. I learned invaluable tools from my lessons with her, including how essential warming up is and how to sing with less strain while just letting the sound out.”
Kate Hinote of The Blueflowers
“Working with Milena on my voice was a very positive experience with a great outcome. She quickly determined my aptitude and my goals and lessons and exercises were focused on efficiently getting me to a higher performance level. About a year after an 8 week course, I have internalized and retained the vast majority of what I learned from her.”
Hugh Fader, singer-songwriter, 2008 Great Lakes songwriting contest finalist
“Milena teaches me an Accent Reduction Course…I enjoyed the way she broke the lessons down starting from the vowel sounds. She’s ready to repeat until I get the correct American pronunciation. She also gave me helpful tips that can help me learn faster. Nice smile, smart and relaxed personality. I’m confident that I will achieve my goals as the lessons progress. Thanks, Milena”
Hilda A., Accent Reduction Student from Nigeria
