“Where do I even begin! Writing this review feels like describing a dear friend, because that's what Liz has become to me. I first started taking voice lessons with her when I was just over fifteen years old. Now that I am twenty four, I can say I've been her student for almost a decade. Liz is more than just a teacher-- she is a mentor. And with that special dynamic I've been able to navigate preparing for college vocal auditions, overcoming anxiety with stage performances and recitals, and tackling the many technical components of singing.

Liz's vocal coaching is truly holistic. You don't just walk into the lesson and immediately start warm ups. First, she asks about my weekly practice, what (if any) stress I have been under, and about my health. And there have been times where, if my voice showed any signs of inflammation, Liz actually heard this in the warm up and suggested I NOT sing for the rest of that day in order to protect my voice. In addition, she has taught me how to determine when I need to go on vocal rest. This skill has become a huge asset to me as a singer/songwriter with gigs. I truly credit her with bringing my voice back after I had Covid and struggled with hoarseness for over eight weeks. 

Additionally, Liz has taught me how to sing in multiple styles. As a classically trained soprano, I first found it challenging to sing pop music in my chest voice. However, Liz gave me the technical skills and confidence to explore this part of my voice as well and not overlook my capabilities! You won't be boxed in or labeled if you're Liz's student! She truly believes that her students can do anything. 

If you want a teacher who pushes you to achieve your goals and invests in the relationship, then Liz is the one for you. I will remain a lifelong student!”

“Doing lessons with Ms. Liz was such a great experience. She made starting lessons very easy for someone that had never done voice lessons before. Not only did she help improve my singing, but we also talked about more fundamentals, such as vocal health. I enjoy taking lessons with Liz so much, and I would recommend anyone (beginner or advanced singer) to take lessons with her!”

“Liz Gautsche is a phenomenal teacher and performer for many reasons, but what stands out to me most is her commitment to helping each student discover their own unique artistry. Liz has the technical tools to help students grow vocally and improve in a healthy and productive way, while also consistently cultivating the spirit of the performer. With her fierce commitment, honesty, and compassion, I was able to succeed in my undergraduate voice auditions, recitals, and other various performances. She is a mentor that you will never regret gaining! I highly recommend Liz Gautsche!

Studying with Liz Gautsche will help you become a true artist. Liz not only has a healthy approach to technique but also trains you to sing with ease. Liz encourages you to explore your artistry and bring your self into your work. Her kind and motivational honesty pushed me to constantly grow as a singer. I left Liz’s studio fully confident in my performing capabilities. Because of Liz, I was accepted into over 6 conservatories and was given a healthy foundation to lean on throughout my future education. I am lucky to have Liz as constant source of support in my life and I cannot recommend her teaching and mentorship enough!”

“Liz Gautsche is truly such an amazing teacher and is one of the kindest people I know. I took lessons with Ms. Gautsche for a couple years and I saw such a tremendous difference in my voice! I worked with her through my college audition process and I could not have asked for a better mentor in that Stressful time. As well as regular voice lessons, I also briefly took piano lessons from her, and in just a month or so of lessons I noticed a huge difference in my piano technique and understanding of fundamentals. She has shaped me to be the singer that I am today and I am forever grateful for being able to take lessons with her!

Liz  is one of the best teachers I have had the privilege of working with. She helped me immensely in my formative high school years and I cannot stress enough how well she prepared me for college auditions and my major in classical vocal performance. In my time working with her I saw a huge improvement in my tone and overall vocal technique. I also gained noticeable confidence in my stage presence and public performance. In addition to being a great teacher, she is also genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve met. Anyone serious about improving their singing abilities should take lessons with her!”

“Liz Gautsche was the first teacher that I studied with privately. I’m grateful that she was my first private voice teacher because she made me feel very comfortable with one-on-one learning. I remember when she reassured me that I shouldn’t feel bad about feeling like I wasn’t doing well during my lesson. She made it clear that above all, she wanted me to be successful and proud of the work I was doing in my lessons.”

“Liz is AMAZING. She is the best vocal coach/teacher I have ever had and completely changed my voice. She had me singing and breathing better than I ever had in just ONE lesson. I recommend her to everyone I know - she's life changing. I went in experienced & wanting to fix strain I was feeling on high notes while belting & also to develop my lower range. She solved the problems I was having AND helped improve my sound in other areas within that one session. Go see Liz immediately!!!”

“Liz is hands-down the best teacher of any subject i’ve ever had! She creates such a welcoming and friendly environment and has made me feel comfortable in singing even though it makes me the most nervous. I’m always looking forward to our lessons each week because it’s such a special place and experience. She has a solution for every problem and provides knowledge about your own voice. I have never made so much progress! Liz is the best!”

“Liz is my 14 yr. old daughter's vocal coach and I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience it has been!

She has helped my daughter improve her vocal strength and quality and taught her breath control. She's teaching her how to mix her head voice and chest voice for smoother transitions. She has helped her find more power behind her voice and a new level of control and ease. She has challenged her and brought her voice to a beautiful new level!

Liz helps my daughter with music for her H.S. mixed chorus and jury tests, for which she has received high recognitions. She also helps her prepare for musical theatre auditions and other school performances. She encourages her to bring in music that is special to her or just fun pieces she wants to attempt. She helps her find her strengths and weaknesses and really pushes her to go further than she thinks possible. Liz has a warm and wonderful personality which has really made my daughter feel comfortable, especially when singing songs that require her to be vulnerable and connect to her emotions.

She runs an extremely professional studio and the payment, scheduling, and communication process is easy and efficient.

Liz is an EXCELLENT teacher and I highly recommend her!”

“Liz is helping me learn to sing properly. I had no idea how to do it before! She's very patient and kind and she's fully engaged with our lesson. I'm getting better every week and that feels great! She has a nice room for the lessons and nice pets. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their singing and have fun doing it.”

“My daughter has been taking Liz's voice lessons for a year, and I can see and hear huge progress. This huge progress is also confirmed by professional vocalists at school, choirs, auditions etc. Liz managed to turn each voice lesson into a bright and unique experience, full of fun and learning. Every lesson they would tackle a new challenge, and almost every lesson there is a breakthrough, and this is what makes them such a unique and great experience, producing a lot of happiness.

Liz always appreciates the student's current state and adjusts the lesson agenda and workload such that it could be the most productive and efficient.

I would definitely recommend taking Liz's lessons for everyone!”

“I started taking lessons with Liz at the start of my junior year. That year was the most transformative year for my voice. Everything about my singing had become so much better and my friends started saying they’ve never heard me sing like that. Liz knows exactly what to fix and how to fix it. I’ve never had a voice teacher that I’ve worked better with. She knows so well how to communicate and work with you through any issue. The thing that I appreciate most is how supportive she is. She has helped me be so much more confident in my singing and I don’t know if anyone else could have done that. I’ve never felt insecure or scared around her she is just such a warm presence. If anyone asks me about a recommendation for a voice teacher, I would recommend her without question.”

— Sasha
