“I started taking singing lessons with Roxanne because I had joined a choir and was experiencing vocal strain. I went into the lessons with the goal of correcting this problem. It was clear from the first lesson, though, that working with Roxanne is about so much more than technique, though my technique is greatly improved. Roxanne has helped me find the confidence to take chances with my singing. The lesson is a dynamic process -- Roxanne is a truly engaged and gifted teacher, providing
feedback that makes sense and helps me identify specific areas to work on. And the lessons are fun. I always leave humming.”

“Confidence Booster has helped me connect big time with that little shy girl that always hung back.. kept a low profile, sat in the back of the room not wanting to draw attention to herself. I am now singing in a Motown group thanks
to Roxanne , belting out songs with abandon, strutting my stuff , all glammed up ... having a ball... I am 64. Never too late”
