What Students & Parents Say
Stephen has been teaching my daughter piano virtually for the past 4 years - her skills have improved immensely with his guidance, patience and creativity. I would recommend his services to anyone interested in taking lessons.
Paul Webb
My son has been going to Soundtree Studio for a year and a half. Stephen has made a very individualized program for my son to help strengthen his weaknesses (rhythm) while fostering his passion to learn piano. He's an incredible teacher. One of the things we really appreciate is that he makes video recordings between lessons, which help my son feel supported—almost like having a lesson—while practicing on his own.
Amber Boadway
Cynthia is the most encouraging professional vocal coach we have ever worked with. She has been instrumental with my son Bradley for his musical theatre performance and his LA Showcase singing. Her voice is incredible. Her kindness and creativity put my son at ease right from the start. We are very lucky to have her. I highly recommend her ! 5 + Stars!!
Heather JB
Working with Cynthia gave me the confidence I needed to explore my voice and work on songs I never thought were possible for me. Highly recommend!
Johanna Bouwmeister
Cynthia is an amazing teacher. She knows exactly what she is talking about and gives feedback exactly as I need it. In only 3 lessons I was able to feel a lot more confident in my ability and found out where I needed to improve. 10/10 would recommend.
Aarohans World
I’ve been taking lessons with Cyn since I was in middle school! Her enthusiasm and passion is infectious and she’s helped me progress my voice is a much more robust way that I could’ve ever imagined! 🤘🏾
