“Christina has impacted my life because she has progressively grown my voice and prepared me for many different auditions and programs. Red School of Music is a very warm and welcoming community of people who truly believe in you and are interested to know what’s going on in your life. I love how Christina is so nice and she really does help you grow your voice. She is interested in hearing what’s been going on with my life and everything that’s been happening. Thank you Christina!”
“Superb school with talented and qualifed instructors. My daughter has taken voice lessons for five years with both Mr. Paul and Miss Chelsea, and while her vocals and performance have improved tremendously, I’m most grateful for the mentorship and values taught. Through the school my daughter had opportunities with Opera Project Columbus, and there are often leadership and intern opportunities as well. Highly recommend!”
“Will and Emerson clicked from the instant Will touched the keys I think! The only thing I wish was that we had found Emerson sooner!! He has an incredible way to push Will to continually challenge himself. I have enjoyed listening to Will’s talent develop!”
