“Teresa is a master teacher of the highest order. My voice has improved more under her tutelage than it had in my over 35 years as a professional musician. Her extensive professional experience and incredible ears enabled her to catch every subtlety. She communicates in such a clear, helpful and practical manner, getting to the heart of the vocal instrument, and is kind and supportive as well. I highly recommend study with Teresa Ringholz if you are interested in making the best of your voice on an extremely high level.” –ECMS Voice Student
