Testimonials

“‘That was the best lesson yet!’ Over the course of our child's first term with Isabella, we have heard this phrase more than once. 

Since the introductory trial lesson, our family has been quite impressed. Isabella is organized, responsive, learner-centered, and, of course, musically-skilled. As an educator, she starts where the student is -- particularly in terms of singing ability, musical knowledge, genre preferences, and performance experience. Her feedback is perceptive, specific, and encouraging. 

Prior to starting voice lessons, our child had one year of musical theatre experience and wanted to improve their sight-reading and vocal technique. Our family met with multiple teachers and chose Isabella Nichole Studios. Our child enjoys their weekly virtual lessons, being part of a musical community during the in-person recital, and is very much looking forward to more singing and learning with Isabella.” -Julius P, parent

“My 7 year old daughter looks forward to her weekly vocal lessons so much! Isabella is so kind and patient and really empowers students to take ownership over what they want to learn, which is the best recipe for fostering a life long commitment and joy towards music. She always so thoughtfully and meticulously applies different strategies to improve technique at a pace that works with the child and finds ways to connect with them. We are so grateful to have found her! I am a musician myself, and am fairly picky when it comes to seeking out effective music teachers and mentors that are a good fit for my children. I can wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Isabella and her approach to making vocal lessons fun and engaging, and cannot wait to see my daughter’s growth under her guidance!” - Nina A, parent
