“Anneke is a fabulous coach! My 9-year-old daughter started with voice lessons and has loved them so much we are now adding piano lessons too! Anneke is extremely knowledgeable about technique and theory, makes learning fun, is constantly encouraging, and is really a lovely person. She always has a smile on her face and our daughter is always excited to go to her lessons. Her studio is easy to get to and parking is always available. Not to mention her rates are affordable. We just love Anneke!”
