When I first started with Karin I suffered from terrible performance anxiety. I had started performing at a very young age and I loved every minute of it. I was most happy when I was performing. I became unable to do it in my later teens I hit a really low point in my life. Karin gave me back my voice. She not only taught me theory, foreign language pronunciation, and vocal technique but how to trust myself and my voice again. This woman is a gem. Take lessons with her.

There is a song, written by Franz Schubert and Franz von Schober, called ‘An die Musik’, which is an ode to the healing powers of music. Karin embodies this love of music and its power. She has brought into my life a love of music that I didn’t realize I had—one of classical tones and foreign languages that I had never dreamed of performing. She encouraged me to stretch myself, to learn beyond anything I could have imagined myself capable. My range, ability, confidence, and musical understanding has grown so much, and so quickly. Karin has a way of understanding how her students need to hear the information she is teaching, of understanding a person’s most efficient way of learning and feeling the music. Every minute of your lesson is spent on learning and enjoying music. She has patience and understanding; but, like any good coach, she knows when to encourage you to reach beyond what you think you are able to do. If you want to find that song inside yourself, stretch your abilities, and grow in your love of music, you should look no further for a coach and mentor than Karin.
