“Gillian’s lesson opened with practical technique notes, then I felt the detail carry into real singing, and I’m excited to apply it to a song. Gillian is a great teacher.”

“Interesting progress during the lesson. I felt placement and its effects clearly, and the moment I sang a song showed the change, wow, a tangible difference.”

I found the lesson quite helpful, especially revisiting some theory which gave me a clearer understanding, though I think going back to singing and vocal techniques might be useful next time. Gillian has a calm approach that makes it easier to focus on improvement and learning. It's promising to see such thoughtful guidance, and I look forward to building on what we've started with her. Wouldn't hesitate to suggest giving Gillian a try if you're aiming for steady progress.

The lesson was quite helpful, especially going deeper on theory, which I found pretty useful for understanding scales better. Though, I do think reviewing and hardening my grasp on scales and theory understanding would be beneficial moving forward. Gillian's approach remains grounded and authentic, which keeps me motivated to keep working on my singing. Still, I look forward to seeing how additional focus on theory can support my progress.

Gillian's lesson really helped me revisit note intervals and step out of my comfort zone with some vocal improvisation, which was quite helpful. Still, I’ll need to focus on improving connection, support, and placement to see bigger gains. Honestly, it's a steady step forward I appreciate trying.
