I recently decided to get back into voice lessons after a gap of a few years. I am primarily interested in musical theatre and was placed with Emily Lopez. Emily is one of the best voice teachers I have ever worked with! I learn something valuable at every single lesson and always leave feeling more confident. Plus, it's really fun! She makes you feel comfortable and good about your voice, and pushes you to be better but somehow in a fun and laid back way. She has also introduced me to new songs based on my vocal range that are now part of my repertoire. Truly a gifted teacher.

I have sung for many years, but I never had the opportunity to be trained by a professional voice teacher until now. I took voice lessons with Emily Lopez for only two months and the results have been amazing! My vocal range has expanded, and the quality of my voice and volume has increased dramatically. I no longer strain my voice when I sing. I am really grateful for Emily and for what she has been able to help me accomplish in such a short amount of time.nnThank you Emily and may God Bless You Always!!!

My daughter takes voice lessons with Kim Peterson at the Academy, and we couldn't be happier with our experience to date. Kim always goes the extra mile to ensure she's inspired, supported, and given every opportunity to progress as a vocalist. The events Kim organizes, such as our recent concert at Bo Diddley Plaza, are a nice reward for the practice her students put in and create memories they'll never forget.

Chet is an excellent guitar teacher with lots of experience in different musical genres. I was able to expand my guitar playing into many new techniques and improvisational methods that simply could not be picked up in a self taught setting. This is the place to go in Gainesville for high quality instruction at a reasonable price.
