I worked with Karolyn all through high school and eventually received a full-ride scholarship for a vocal performance degree from the college of my dreams. She's a wonderful teacher for anyone in the greater Denver area who is looking to learn more about their voice. It was a pleasure working with her as a student, and I still think back on our lessons now in my career as a professional opera singer.
Karolyn was my voice teacher from the end of middle school to my high school graduation. I went on to receive a full-tuition scholarship at my undergraduate college in voice and now enjoy a successful full-time career as a singer. Karolyn is an excellent teacher for students of all ages and I can't recommend her enough!
Karolyn is truly a gifted teacher. Her love for music and teaching shine in every interaction. She has helped my daughter grow tremendously in her vocal skills all with a wonderful balance of high expectations and kindness. She offers specific vocal strategies, audition preparation, opportunities for vocal competition and the opportunity to occasionally work with professional vocalists. She is flexible and wonderful to work with. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
