I have never loved music so much until I started taking lessons from Laurie Cosby. She has made my less than two-octave, unhealthy belt become an almost four-octave, legit voice with a strong healthy belt range. Her expertise has made me a better singer, musician, and performer.

When Laurie Cosby was assigned to direct the Concert Choir, I noticed improvement in the number of performers, the quality of professional dress, degree of memorization of music and sophistication of technical production. These particulars exemplify Laurie's mindset of continuous quality improvement. In every interaction I had with her, she displayed a high degree of professionalism and demonstrated genuine caring for the welfare of her students.

Laurie Cosby has an enthusiasm and love for singing that is contagious. Cami loved going to the Bella Giovanni class for young singers and we saw great results in a short amount of time. Laurie gives the children an enjoyable, yet challenging experience that encourages confidence and success in young singers.
