"Voice lessons with Wendy Cooper is like opening the door to a new kind of discipline that I knew I wanted and needed but I didn't know where to look. Her elite training in vocal technique and her expertise in identifying breath control issues has helped me begin to discover my true voice like I never have before. Thank you Wendy! You rock!"

"I have been studying with Wendy a little over 18 months, and as a rock singer, I never could have imagined just how much there is to learn about the voice and the disipline involved. I have achieved enormous increases in volume and stamina since working with Wendy. At a recent audition with a rock band, the band actually had to turn UP their amps after the first song even with me singing through a dinky PA system. "

"Having been traumatized through years of uncomfortable music lessons, my bandmates and I immediately connected with Wendy's easy going manner. Her professional yet personally engaging approach to voice lessons really appealed to us. We felt privileged to be working with a vocal coach entirely dedicated to the specific development and conditioning of her students' voices, whether they be rockers or operatic singers. Even in a short time we experienced the benefits of Wendy's wisdom and work ethic. We look forward to pursuing our vocal studies with her. She'll whip you into shape!"

"In less than a month of serious training Wendy gave me an entirely new outlook on singing. Within six months, she was able to produce results that other teachers hadn't been able to bring out after years of singing lessons. Her exercises are worth their weight in gold. If it weren't for Wendy, I wouldn't be a working singer and actor who is now prospering in the performing world of New York!"
