Our graduating seniors this year have been accepted so far to Pacific Conservatory for the Performing Arts, UCLA, University of Denver, Chapman University and others. We are very proud of these singers. More news to come as the acceptance letters arrive. Last year our seniors went to Carnegie Melon University, Boston University, San Francisco Conservatory, and Pepperdine University.
"Agatha's approach to singing is simple yet deeply profound. As a student of the voice for many years and studying with numerous teachers, I found myself constantly frustrated, not making progressive improvement or ever achieving the vocal results I desired. By studying with Agatha and simply applying her Heart Based Singing method in only two weeks time my voice totally transformed, I had gained years worth of vocal wisdom and was a happy singer. I am forever grateful for Agatha and her Heart Based philosophy."
“You are in safe hands with Agatha, she is an excellent teacher. She explains technique so well that singing becomes simple and natural. As well as technique, the truth and emotions behind what you are singing are just as important in her instruction. In just a few lessons with Agatha I was on my way to becoming a more rounded singer and performer.”
Agatha's technique gave me a deep, natural connection to my voice that has kept me in top performance condition since I began studying with her. As I have grown as a vocalist and performer, this approach has continued to serve as my foundation. Her methods facilitate a true understanding of one's instrument that does not rely on tricks or gimmicks, simply legitimate, unpolluted knowledge.
