"Jeannette is a natural, insightful, and gifted teacher. She is a true pleasure to work with because of the joy and expertise she brings to her teaching, and because her teaching produces extraordinary results for her students. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Jeannette rocks!" Pierce Peter Brandt, Professional actor/singer (recently in final company of original Broadway production of Les Miserables), writer. "I have been a professional guitarist for ten years in both the Los Angeles and San Francisco metropolitan areas. Over the years I have also studied privately and in group settings with many esteemed vocal instructors including the Seth Riggs protégé John Scott. Given all of my experience, I can say with confidence that Jeannette is a fabulous voice instructor. Under her guidance I have dramatically improved all of the major areas of my voice including range, tone, and control. Jeannette is also very easy to work with. I highly recommend her coaching to singers of all types and abilities." Jeff Weinstein, guitarist/vocalist/songwriter myspace.com/jeffweinsteinguitar "Jeannette Smith has been my vocal teacher and coach for nearly two years and I have loved and appreciated every minute of it. She creates an experience that is unmatched by any teacher with whom I've ever worked. Her combination of flawless technique and nurturing environment make lessons something that I look forward to every week. She embodies a natural approach to singing; unlike so many teachers that have taught me in the past. Simply stated, my voice doesn't hurt when I sing. I have one person to thank for that...Jeannette Smith!" Lauren Gatzka, College Student "Hi, Jeannette. I just wanted to add my "voice" to the "chorus" of kudos that you've undoubtedly received from your legion of appreciative parents and students. Sunday's recital was a wonderful event -- what a range of delightful voices of every age, shape and size! The quality of the performances, and the warm and loving spirit that took hold of the church as we came together to celebrate your work, are testament to your skills and spirit. Congratulations on a very successful and enjoyable event, and many thanks from my daughter and me for all of the hard work and love that you've put into her lessons. Best regards, Michael" Michael J. Shpizner Vice President and General Counsel Fujitsu America, Inc. "I've studied with several voice instructors over the last 10 years. No other vocal instructor I've had compares in their ability to truly understand each student's needs. Jeannette doesn't use a "cookie cutter" method. Instead, she dives in with the student and addresses their needs with specific instruction tailored to that student. My range has grown by an octave. My ease of singing has dramatically improved. She has exposed me to a variety of different styles of music so every lesson is exciting. My one year with Jeannette has been a transformation". Samantha Achuff of Pleasanton, CA "I had never had any voice training when I came to Jeannette's studio. With her patience, experience, and guidance, I have made amazing progress in just a few months and it's exhilarating! Jeannette truly has a gift for teaching, motivating, and encouraging her students in a relaxed environment. Her holistic techniques and exercises are very effective. Our sessions are like a combination of meditation and therapy! Jeannette is helping me to find my true, natural voice, and she is inspiring me to take it places I never thought I could go. Thank you, Jeannette, for helping me to make my dreams come true!"
