What Students Are Saying 
“Lessons with Dr. Brooks are very enjoyable! During lessons she gives the student the ability to ask multiple questions and is always giving feedback and finding ways to describe techniques. It’s always a comfortable environment and I look forward to my lesson every week!” - Madison M. 
​
"Dr. Brooks has been my vocal coach for almost three years for musical theatre and I can truly say that I would not have near the confidence, range, and versatility that I have now without her guidance. She is incredibly fun, passionate, relatable, and often intense which makes going to my lesson one of my favorite parts of every week. She really believes in all of her students and pushes them in new ways each lesson to better themselves as artist; because of her I have become the performer that three years ago I only dreamed of being." - Taylor M.
