"Fabiana is gifted and sensitive teacher whose direction and genuine encouragement offered me the opportunity to enjoy and explore my passion for singing." Deborah T.
"Fabiana is a gifted singer, choir director and accomplished musician. All that pales, however, compared to her teaching skills. I have had quite a few music teachers along the years, and all I can say is she is the real deal!" Mauro Z.
"Voice lessons with Fabi are terrific. She has encouraged me to think about the basics of singing, such as breathing, resonance, and staying loose. I find my hour with her just flies by and I am always sad that my time is up. My voice, my range and my confidence have all improved. Fabi is encouraging, uses lots of examples to help me understand what she is teaching and continually repeats those techniques where I am slowly developing. I even look forward to the warm up exercises. I know that I still have lots to learn and I look forward to exploring the world of song with her for a long time." Lea S.
"Fabiana is an immensely gifted teacher, and generous with her gifts. Her teaching has been the single most wonderful experience of my past four years... She can surely never have had a more hopeless case on her hands. She provided assurance. Step by step she provided strategies and techniques for breathing, for voice production, for voice control. Constantly she pushed me, and equally constantly she assured me that it was coming. And, of course, I could hear that it was." Susanna E.
"Fabiana is very much more than a voice teacher because, in fact, she begins and ends with the making of music. Fabiana has given me music and is making it mine." Susanna E.
"Fabi has been a wonderful role model for many of our singers, fostering good vocal development and encouraging fine music-making. With the small children’s choir she has worked a range of music varying from the baroque to contemporary; she has focused on their vocal training and given them good practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge." Brigid C.
"You have been really instrumental in accelerating
"Many things combine to make her unique. Her academic achievements in conducting, her singing skills, her facility with languages, her competency at the keyboard, her rhythmic sense from her Latin American heritage and her extensive theoretical background all go to make her an unequalled musician." Craig T.
"Fabiana always pushed us towards a higher level of musical awareness, understanding, and competence. Whenever [we] did not attain her expectations for musical expression, Fabiana was able to correct and teach us in a warm and respectful manner so that we had the confidence to take risks and could learn from our mistakes. She was able to build an excellent rapport with each member and assist all of us to improve and grow in our ability to play and perform as a unified choir." Isabel W.
"The greatest privilege was having had the opportunity to share her love of music. Fabiana has a particularly effervescent personality and her love of music is contagious."
"Fabiana's personal traits are the highest, and she adds to this a positivity of attitude and energy that are truly unique." Philip C.
"I did it. I did it. I really actually did it… and we were singing it together, and then there was this hilarious round of applause… and then they all did it. And we had this great big noise happening in the room and it was actually hilarious and we had a very, very good time with the song. But I did it. I actually did it. I was very, very happy with how it went. Thank you for the help. Oh my… I’m so excited. Thank you for my music." Susanna E.
