  • Working with Cay has really helped me get my voice back into shape and learn how to keep it that way. I really appreciate that he explains the science and reasoning behind everything he teaches so I can apply these teachings to my voice even when I’m outside of a lesson. Working with Cay has been both fun and incredibly helpful, and I highly recommend signing up for a virtual session!

  • After following his suggestions, I could instantly hear an improvement in my own sound. Singers of any level should absolutely go to Cay for personal vocal instruction.

  • Cay is an amazing teacher and coach. He guides you to the best use of your own instrument with incredible insight, unlimited patience and infectious enthusiasm. When working with a quartet, just multiply all of that by four.

  • It has been a joy to explore my voice and singing with Cay. As someone who enjoys singing but feels a bit self-conscious about it as I’ve never had any training, it seemed a bit daunting to sing and expose my flaws to someone other than myself. However, Cay made me feel very comfortable. With a mix of humor, science and repetition, I have been able to reduce the strain on my voice, increase the resonance, and expand my range. While I am still in the early phases - and not yet ready to sing in front of an audience! - I have already seen progress and look forward to continuing to work with Cay.

  • Cay is an insightful teacher who quickly and accurately assessed the vocal needs of me and my quartet. He used accessible language and was able to demonstrate techniques, and gave all of us easy to replicate tools to use on our own and as a group. Singing for a teacher or coach can make people feel vulnerable, and Cay really made that easy and non-threatenting, and I personally feel very comfortable working with him. I recommend him without reservation!
