References: "I have been playing music professionally for over six years and until now never had the confidence to help my band with the vocals. Karen has taken my voice from a scared mouse to a confident lion. Karen was a great teacher. Not only was she cool, fun, and talented, she also helped me with my allergies, bad back, and posture. Thanks Karen, you rock!" - Jimmy Baker (Prince, pop, original rock/pop)
"Within a few sessions Karen showed me how to expand my range, breathe correctly, and to really learn to use my instrument - my whole body not just those rusty vocal chords. Within a few months I had the confidence to sing without accompaniment, to sing to friends and family (and with a waitress at a funky coffee shop who actually knew all the words to 'My Funny Valentine"). I love to sing! Now my 19 year-old daughter has been Karen's student for several weeks. She's more confident in her singing and speaking voice. She's having fun...and really owns the sense of competence she's developing. We have received so many benefits from working with Karen. She's skilled, intuitive and very patient with us novices. Take a few lessons from her, you'll be amazed!" - Maureen Heinen (standards, Broadway, folk) & Rose Heinen (pop, ballads, R&B)
"It is fun to have lessons with Karen! As an international student, I am getting three things at the same time: good English pronunciation, good vocal tone and joy!" - Shino Takayama (oldies, Broadway, jazz, J-pop)
