“ My daughter loves Broadway Musicals and she participates in the Choir and Drama Club in her middle school. We were looking for singing lessons online due to Covid-19. She has only taken 4 classes with Mrs. Schroeder and she absolutely love this class. She feels more confident about her ability to sing. She has also learned a lot about her voice. I highly recommend her.

“Sarah is so lovely! My 12-year old daughter loves taking singing lessons with her. She’s great at making her comfortable and letting her express herself. I’d highly recommend Sarah if you’re looking for a vocal coach.
-Andrea S ”
“My daughter loves Ms Sarah. :) Words can’t describe how amazing she is teaching singing to children, so patient and kind...and her voice is absolutely beautiful! We are so grateful we found her!
-Kimberly”
“ Sarah is an outstanding teacher. She is kind, patient, and very supportive while challenging kids to do things they never thought they could. My daughter feels on top of the world after each lesson and learns so much every time. I simply can’t recommend her enough. ”
-Fruzsina J. ”
“My daughter (age 10) loves her voice lessons with Sarah. She looks forward to it every week and is beaming all day long after her lesson. She’s learned new voice exercises and is motivated to practice at home.
-Anne ”
“ I wanted to let you know that I met the show‘s Director last night. She said that Jay‘s audition was so strong and so funny that they cast her immediately, and there was no need for her to get a callback. Thanks again for everything!”
Private Lessons
Private Lessons are an intimate one on one lesson experience exclusively for singers of any age who are ready to stop dreaming and start training their voices.
“The product of my voice going in and the one you hear today can barley be compared due to the fact that it is an entirely new voice. The depth and quality of my tone, understanding of the techniques taught, and ability to sing in ways I have not before are all due to the knowledge, patience, and talents of Sarah Schroeder.”
-Matt Mitchel, CAP21 Conservatory

The Early Childhood Music Center from Fine Arts Voice offers the Smart Start Program for children ages 0-6
Smart Start is a program that uses music, along with other art forms, to teach cognitive skills to young children. It builds on the RCM's decades of music pedagogy in early childhood, with input from the RCM's Director of Research, Dr. Sean Hutchins, a neuroscientist. By incorporating a contemporary understanding of cognitive skills, the early childhood music specialists are adapting their teaching methods. We recognize that children learn in various ways, so it is crucial to tailor our instruction to suit each child's learning needs. By integrating drama, dance, and visual art, we create a comprehensive learning experience that engages children physically, visually, and socially.
