Testimonials

Over the past 5 years, Lisa has helped me to feel more confident in taking up space as a performer and share the vocal colors and characters I have to offer. As a femme trans non-binary person, her pedagogy of combining healthy, gender affirming vocal technique with theatre has allowed me to create connections between multiple facets of my artistic background, and continually show up as myself in lessons and performance. The ability for me to work on both composition and voice at an advanced level is a special gift, and it is an honor and joy to be in her studio 💜

I started taking voice lessons with Lisa after about 5 years of not taking care of my voice. I took a lot of time off from singing after college and it hurt my confidence greatly. Lisa helped me rebuild to a much better place where I now have confidence in myself and I am proud of the way I sound again. She is extremely knowledgeable about vocal technique and language and diction, which has helped me grow to a new level of singing. Her kindness and no-judgement attitude allow me to learn at my own pace with someone who I know cares about my musical growth. I highly recommend Lisa for new musicians who are just dipping their toes into singing, as well as those who have studied voice for many years and are looking to level up!

I came to Lisa not knowing where I wanted my life to go, just graduated high school and wanted higher education but didn’t have anything that interested me there. I knew one thing though, singing has always been the one thing I go back to, that i always love. I had no technique or previous knowledge before coming to Lisa, and she has helped me grow so much! In less than a year with her fabulous teaching ability i have been able to preform at a few online recitals confidently and am going to continue performing, writing, and expressing myself in a way i never dreamt of. I will always recommend Lisa to anyone at any skill level who wants to begin or perfect the art she is so efficient in!

I had the pleasure of working with Lisa as my vocal teacher for nearly 2 years. I have sung and performed since I was very young, but have noticed a huge growth in both my vocal and acting skills since working under Lisa’s instruction. She has taught me many new ways to practice and hone my skills outside of lessons as well as ways to improve my voice and vocal range. I feel much more confident in my storytelling abilities and my overall performing abilities after Lisa’s teachings. She thoroughly explains what she is teaching and why she is teaching it, making it easier to apply to your regular vocal routine. During my time with Lisa, I was able to add many new songs to my repertoire, choose the best songs for my voice type and acting capabilities when I had an event to perform at, get feedback on my college audition selections, and much more. I cannot recommend Lisa enough! She is patient, but will push you to your full potential and most importantly, she truly cares for her students. She has gone above and beyond to help me grow as a singer, actor, and performer. --Rylie, high school student, musical theatre major 

Lisa is a wonderful, empathetic, and relatable teacher who has helped me to improve the quality of my singing exponentially in only 5 months (so far). As an adult learner taking voice lessons for the first time, I continue to be amazed at the way Lisa is able to listen and pinpoint very specific and doable things I can work on in a given week in order to see progress. Since starting lessons with Lisa, the range of notes I can sing comfortably has grown by nearly an octave, and I am able to understand and use breath support far, far better now than ever before. Lisa also does a fantastic job of teaching the expressive/emotional/storytelling side of singing in a way that has been very rewarding for me. I absolutely recommend her! --Jessica, adult student

My time working under Dr. Neher was very foundational for my growth as a vocalist. Through our lessons I improved general strengths such as breath support, and found inventive ways to counter weaknesses. I had an overall goal of preparing to be a singer-songwriter, and Dr. Neher supported me every step of the way. I was able to improve emotional skills by learning more on the background of the pieces I performed. Lessons with her are very personal, and focus on learning techniques that allow greater control of the body. I have no regrets with having Dr. Neher as my teacher. --Christian, college student

​My lessons with Lisa Neher were very valuable to me for two reasons. First, I got to sing a lot of musical theatre pieces, which is applicable to my major. Secondly, the emphasis on technique was amazingly helpful. She taught me so many techniques that are easy to practice outside of class. I used to struggle to practice on my own because I don’t play piano, but now I am able to practice more outside of lessons. --Carmen, college musical theatre major

Lisa Neher is an amazing voice teacher. She knows so much about music - not just theory and singing but also anatomy and history. She is such a kind and thoughtful woman who genuinely cares about every one of her students. I would 100% recommend her to anyone seeking voice lessons. --Caroline S., high school student

Lisa isn't just my teacher, she's my mentor and friend.  In the time that I worked under Lisa, she helped me develop my voice even better than I thought it could be.  I was able to make semi-finals at the regional NATS competition.  In the lessons Lisa is patient and kind.  She gets me to strive to be the best I can be whether it be in vocal warm ups and technique, or just performing a song better!  I wouldn't be where I am without her!  --N.H., college student

I have learned so much from Lisa Neher! She can still relate to my beginner voice needs easily, practicing an innate sense of what methods work best for me. My voice has improved so much in a short period of time. --Alethea, adult college student

Lisa was one of my favorite vocal teachers. She didn't just give feedback, she went in depth about why things worked the way they did. She gave background knowledge, I wouldn't have known otherwise. Lisa gave me a lot of freedom to work on things I wanted to focus on and helped prep me for auditions. If you have a chance to work with Lisa in the future I 100% would recommend you take it! --Angelica, college musical theatre major

 I had an amazing time working with Dr. Neher. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful during every one of my voice lessons. She helped me develop a 'vocalist's toolkit' that I'm still using today to troubleshoot voice issues and help maximize my effectiveness in rehearsal. I also really liked her personable, down-to-earth teaching style, which made her very easy to approach and enjoyable to work with. All in all, she's provided me with lots of very practical knowledge and skills, and I'd work with her again in a heartbeat. --Maria, college voice major
