I purchased singing lessons as a birthday gift for my partner. We decided to try the lessons together. We met on zoom and Joyce appeared behind her piano and was eager to help us to have fun tighter and learn about our individual voices and what artists we could compare our voices to. We have never had voice lessons before. It was really fun and interesting to try. I think with more lessons and practice we could show great improvement! I plan to hire Joyce again!
