Matt from Higher Octave East is professional, non-judgmental and a great voice teacher. I have become louder and able to hit pitches that were once on the edge of my range, now with ease and I am more confident with my voice. The lessons are recorded, so you go home with a with a CD which allows you to practice on your own and listen to your progress. Going above and beyond, Matt even helped find some of the harmonies for my original song before going into the studio! I actually later hired him to come in to the studio to work with the back up singers while recording. I highly recommend Matt and saw he is great with beginners too.
