“My son Allen first studied with Carrie in the vocal troupe class... Each week I would take him to class and sit on the couch listening to him and his classmates through the wall. Every. Single. Week. There was noticeable improvement. My mind was blown at how rapidly he developed under her tutelage...While on that journey they worked on some jazz piano, guitar playing, and songwriting, in addition to his vocal training. His growth as a musician has been nothing short of amazing. He’s about to enter conservatory training for musical theater, and Carrie’s training was invaluable for his preparation.”
