I have been a student of Susan Niekamp at Advanced Mentor Pro-Voice Studio for a year now and have improved exponentially in my singing and musical theory. My voice has improved in range and durability, important for my 4 hours gigs! Any professional singer would benefit greatly from Susan’s one-on-one mentoring and scientifically based techniques. We’ve added piano lessons in the last few months and the progress has been amazing. She has even helped in one of my recording sessions! Every pro needs a support system and Susan is a key part of mine. --- Mike Imbasciani, professionalsinger/blues-rock guitarist
At Advanced Mentor Studios, each student gains not only a voice teacher, but a helpful and kind friend. My teacher, Susan Niekamp, taught me several exercises and strategies to strengthen and improve my voice in healthy ways and she also taught me endless confidence. Without such wonderful instruction, I would not feel as confident with my talents as I do today.
