Testimonials

"Jeanette, is an AMAZING teacher..she has an ear like you wouldn't believe.. I went to her for help with my singing impressions and I learned so much that not only are my impressions better but my own singing voice is better too. A true genius! I can't recommend enough. WELL worth the investment!"
-Melissa McQueen


"Jeanette is a great vocal teacher. She helps you correct bad habits to make sure you're singing in the most healthy way possible. She digitally records all your sessions so you can review your work later and she'll even help you pick out new material to try."
-Erin Holt


"Jeanette is by far the best vocal teacher I have ever had. She will work with you to find a way to improve your technique."
-Andrew Gonzalez; lead singer of Shadows of Aries

"Studying at  JA Vocal Music has helped me immensely, not only with my understanding of music, but with my confidence and stage presence. Recently Jeanette has helped me to explore my own creativity as an artist by helping me write my own songs. JA Vocal Music continues to help me grow as an artist."

-Daniel Johnson


"Jeanette is very professional and worked well with each of the girls as a group and individually. The girls enjoyed working with her and she was able to help them with their vocal technique very efficiently."
-Rhonda Coleman; Executive Producer WyseGyrls

"I was asked to do a small solo for a cabaret night at school, California Lutheran University. The song was "Seasons of Love" from Rent. After five minutes with Jeanette, I learned a lesson I had spent an entire semester in voice classes trying to learn. Jeanette is so encouraging, and with her positive reinforcement, I sang with a confidence I never recalled having before. I plan on taking lessons from her from now on."
-Annie Sherman


"Two students and myself were performing in a Cabaret for our school, California Lutheran University. The song being performed was something all three of us knew we wanted to do, but we definitely had our kinks to work out with the harmonies involved. After two lessons with Jeanette we went from mediocre to fabulous. I cannot express enough how much my confidence level rose after working with someone whom legitimately knew what she was teaching in terms of music and performance. Our performance in the cabaret was at the level it was because of our lessons with Jeanette. I highly recommend her as a teacher to anyone that wants to move forward with his/her singing."
-Kelsey Goeres


"Jeanette is a dedicated teacher, her instruction has improved my singing more than I ever imagined, and she put on a great showcase that was nothing but fun and entertaining for the participants and audience members...her hard work and dedication definitely pays off."

-April Nicholson


"Jeanette is a wonderful music instructor. She has great patience to teach children proper musical techniques. My daughter (age 10) loves her vocal lessons and my son (age 5) is exceling in his piano lessons."
