I had the pleasure of receiving your very detailed comments on my performance, I have used many of your suggestions and tips to revise my performances and to continue growing as a musician. I wanted to express my gratitude to you, I have never received such a wonderfully detailed and helpful judges comment before. I especially love the breathing exercise you recommended to me. I would like to keep in touch with you in the future.

I have to express some appreciation to this (blog) writer for rescuing me from such an incident.

Because of researching through the search engines and meeting suggestions which were not powerful, I figured my entire life was done. Living without the solutions to the issues you have sorted out by means of the site is a critical case, and the ones which might have adversely affected my entire career if I hadn’t come across your site.

That know-how and kindness in touching every item was priceless.

I am not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a thing like this. I can also at this time relish my future.

Dear Gretchen,
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me these past few days. I really do appreciate it and it’s incredible that you’ve been so helpful to a stranger like me.

It’s rare to find people like you in real life and even harder on the internet, where you don’t know who the other person is on the other side of the screen. Even though you and I don’t personally know each other, I do feel your passion for music, singing and teaching other singers and I can tell by the amount of effort and time you’ve put into helping me.

You’re very easy to talk to and very engaged in our conversations, always looking for new ways to help and guide me in the right direction!

Sarah was thrilled to see you this week to tell you about the success of her piano lesson and the progress she had made with the theory workbook in which you have been instructing her.

You have a very special way of motivating your students which is a wonderful gift--especially when it is in regard to teenagers who often don't respond well to advice from grown-ups!
Thank you for sharing your kindness and talents.

— Beth

Gretchen,
I just can't tell you how happy I am to finally see Katie come around. I knew she would and breaking up with her boyfriend definitely helped! The other HUGE reason is of course BECAUSE OF YOU!!

I can see that you and Katie truly have a special bond and for that I'm so grateful. You not only encourage her but your manner of teaching TOTALLY agrees with her. You've really made an impact on her not only through her vocal production but also with her self-confidence. It always helps to hear that from someone other than your MOM!
Thanks for all you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

— Theresa

Slide 10

Hi Gretchen,
I fully intended but obviously forgot to tell you about the ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder). My mistake--sorry about that.

Thanks for all your hard work with Annie. You have given her new confidence and a greater ability and reason to focus in a more concentrated way for longer times. Her music with you is definitely helping the problem--a minor miracle!
Thank you so much!

— Katherine

Slide 11

THANKS for everything this year!
Austin has improved so much with you, but I think the biggest area is self-confidence, which of course, carries over into the vocals. As you probably know, my husband still does not have a job so we feel we can't commit to anything for now, but we plan on Austin continuing with you somehow. We'll wait 'til later in the summer to try to confirm with you. He's giving up piano before voice!

— Liza

Slide 15

I'm so proud of how my daughter has done in school this first semester, and you know I'm crazy about her. I'm thankful for what you have done with her. Her improvement in her singing really has helped her overall self image. That's a gift from God, Gretchen, and we so sincerely thank you. You're a professional but with a heart!

Thank you also for your personal concern for her and for the stewardship of her talents. God bless you in this vocation and ministry!

— Paul

My name is Matthew and I’m from Denmark. I’ve been singing on and off since I was a kid and I’m 22 years old today. Just a few weeks ago, I decided to start taking singing more seriously.

This led me to ask some questions on Quora.com regarding my singing voice type, which Miss Gretchen Greenfield kindly and thoughtfully replied to.

Over the course of the past few weeks, Miss Greenfield has been very helpful to me, helping me deal with allergies that have been interfering with my singing, making me cough, blocking off nasal air flow. She’s also been helping me build a proper breathing technique for singing and helping me improve my singing technique over all. Miss Greenfield is always giving me the most helpful advice, every time we work together.

After talking with her, I’ve gotten a really clear picture of how I should be training my singing next.

Miss Greenfield is always giving me fantastic and helpful advice, every time we work together. You can honestly feel her passion for teaching other people and it’s a wonderful vibe to be around!

She’s always very thoughtful and caring of your voice and of you as a person, and it feels very personal, in a good way, of course!

I’m definitely very happy that I got in touch with Miss Greenfield and it’ll not be the last time—that’s for sure!
