1. ...Since January 2006, my daughter, Ashley, has been attending the John Robert Powers School. The JRP schools around the country participate in a convention that is held twice every year. This convention, called IPOP (International Presentation of Young Perfomers), is held in Los Angeles and in New York. In order to attend the IPOP convention, you have had to attend the JRP School for at least 8 months, and you have to be a strong competitor. Ashley had an audition for singing and as a result of her training & vocal lessons with Cecile, Ashley had the opportunity to attend IPOP. Cecile's dedication and hard work have led to Ashley's current success! She won "Singer of the Year 2006" in her division at IPOP. She received 9 call backs in NY, and since then she has sent her demo to 5 companies in the music business. The 4+ years of training with Cecile have paid off. While Ashley is a very talented young lady, we know how much we owe to Cecile for her growth and progress.

2. ...Cecile is a wonderful teacher. She embodies all the very best qualities a teacher should aspire to have: dedication, love for her subject, and ability to convey both her skill and passion to her student. She expects her students to give their all and won't settle for less. She is tough but caring. My daughter and I - in truth, our whole family - are very fortunate to have Cecile in our lives. Cecile will always be part of our family. Thank you Cecile for your love, support and dedication!

3. I cannot say enough about Cecile...

I started voice lessons with Cecile in my junior year of high school. After taking lessons with Cecile for over 2 years, I was able to understand the core of Speech Level Singing. I was accepted into New York University's music program after auditioning on Voice, and can only thank Cecile for that.

Cecile has been such a source of inspiration for me. Her ability to motivate and move you is one of her greatest attributes. She made the idea of practicing into a fun learning experience, rather than a dreaded chore. She understands the voice...and she gets to understand you, too. Her approach is customized to each individual voice - a really innovative teaching style that's hard to come by.
