Testimonials

"Akiko is an incredibly nurturing, versatile, and knowledgeable voice teacher. Every lesson was so much fun and I left her studio every week feeling more inspired. She set me on the path to becoming a professional singer from a 16 year-old who knew absolutely nothing! I still carry her teachings with me today, and she is one of my most treasured and trusted mentors! Love Akiko and cannot recommend her highly enough!"
