Testimonials from Students and Clients (full names on request)
Our work together truly meant absolutely everything to me....You were able to foster my true love of classical singing, and now I’ve built my entire life around it....From the very outset, I have always been praised for my understanding of fundamental technique and music skills that all came directly from my work with you.
"Just as important—if not more in some ways—you always emphasized the therapeutic and holistic side of singing and art. I think what has really sustained me through the past 10-12 years of pursuing a singing career is that my foundation with you was based on a deep, loving care for me as a person and artist....you always prioritized my safety and well-being above anything else. It was because of that that music was available to be therapeutic to me and a true outlet. The amazing thing is that you were able to balance that with also holding me to a high standard and imparting an in-depth and disciplined approach!
"I see in my teaching, especially within various educational systems, how easy it is for students to become just another name on a roster, another number in the system. I always strive first and foremost to ensure that they are seen and given the attention and skills that THEY need. I often get the feedback that this is a unique experience for them, which is really a shame. I absolutely credit my foundation with you for this approach, and I have had a lot of success with it in a relatively short amount of time."
Helena W-L, professional opera singer and college voice professor.
Danielle helped me to find my voice, in every sense of the phrase. She helped me to free my voice as a singer, with a repertoire that included audition-ready songs as well as pieces that pushed the envelope of conventional casting, and as an actor, focusing on theatrical speech and projection. Not only does she have a singing voice that soars through the rafters of her beautiful studio, but Danielle has an ear that hears exactly where voices can improve, and a smile that guides her students to find a stronger voice than they ever imagined."
Nicole W, voice professional
Danielle Woerner helped me find my true voice many years ago. I now use it for healing, comfort, and joy. She's a wonderful teacher. Ever grateful."
Donna C, leader in church and community singing and in hospice settings.
You [helped] me to polish my inexperienced voice, find my part and its range, build some confidence and stage presence, and...vocal practice skills. I enjoyed our sessions and your humor and knowledge."
Nancy L, dedicated choral singer.
I'm glad I went to Vassar, because I had Danielle Woerner for a voice teacher. She is such a blessing, even now when I'm in Texas. Thanks!"
RaMina A, performer and theater teacher/director.
I want to thank you for all the work you put into [our son]. He loves to sing and is coming out of his shell now, working on conquering his stage fright. He looks forward to voice lessons and loves choir."
Jackie M, parent of a HS student.
Besides being an accomplished singer, Danielle is a great voice teacher....She could tell what I was doing inside my mouth and throat just by listening; she helped me with the things I wanted help with and didn't insist on me working on other 'standard' things, etc. She also had tips and techniques that I could use right away....If you're looking for a voice teacher, I'd suggest you give her a try."
John R, older adult choral singer.
When my son was 13 years old and wanting to quit singing because his voice was so uncontrollable, I asked [conductor] Luis Garcia-Renart if he could recommend anyone to help. Luis enthusiastically recommended Danielle, and my son has been working with her ever since.
"He is not going to do music professionally, but he does plan always to have music in his life... He sings in a number of different contexts, and people comment unsolicitedly on the beauty of his voice and the skill with which he uses it. Danielle has been a major force behind both of those achievements.
"Danielle is astonishingly skilled at figuring out just what to say to each person, different things to different people, to help them develop their voices, overcome problems, and translate thought and emotion into sound. In short: I heartily and unreservedly recommend Danielle as a voice teacher."
Caroline R, mother and amateur singer.
Danielle is an amazing voice teacher. I am also a voice professional, teaching hundreds of kids in a public school and also performing in theater. Danielle can isolate and specify, making things understandable and fun. After studying with many different teachers over the last twenty years, Danielle has helped me grow and improve more than any other. She's the best! I have recommended many others to her as well."
Lisa G, school music teacher and theater/cabaret performer.
