Joann C.ChangPROVerified business?

I’ve been taking singing lessons with Joann for about 8 months, after moving from the East Coast where I had 6 months of prior vocal training. As a beginner, I was worried about how long it would take to move from just trying not to hurt my voice (using falsetto or straining my cords) to actually sounding good and creating art as a singer. Coming from a South Chinese background, my speaking habits lean more toward head mix rather than chest voice, which made me wonder if that would hold me back. But Joann completely changed that perspective. She helped me not only build a healthy foundation in chest voice but also understand how to transition smoothly into mix and head voice. With her guidance, I’ve learned how to achieve vocal closure, find placement, navigate my passaggio, and use subtle changes in facial expression, tongue, jaw, and core strength to shape my sound. Every month, I notice real progress. Joann doesn’t just teach technique—she teaches how to design a song thoughtfully, using the right tools for each section to create dynamics and artistry. My personal goal is to be able to perform confidently in public within 3 years, and for the first time, I feel that’s truly achievable thanks to her. On a personal note, vocal training with Joann has been more than just music lessons. My work environment has often been stressful, and her supportive teaching and positive feedback have been a huge source of motivation and joy in my life. Singing, like any physical training, gives you direct positive results when you put in the effort—and Joann makes that journey exciting and fulfilling. I would wholeheartedly recommend Joann to anyone interested in singing—whether your dream is to perform professionally, shine at karaoke, or simply feel more confident in your own voice. She’s an incredible teacher and truly brings out the best in her students.

Joann was incredibly helpful to me. Personally, I've always had an easy time singing low and trouble singing high. Joann was able to unlock my ability to sing songs I always thought were out of my range. During lessons it always felt like she knew the perfect exercise to do and was kind in the process. I highly recommend her.

I started working with Joann earlier this year at the end of March. I have led worship for many years, and have never received formal vocal training. Before I started private vocal coaching, I was convinced there are certain songs I could never lead, due to not being able to reach certain high notes. Joann helped me identify where my chest, head, and mixed voices are, and taught me several helpful warmups and exercises to help me strengthen my mixed and head voice. She is also familiar with worship leading and worship songs, which is something I was looking for in a coach. Joann is very professional, but also makes the coaching fun! I have improved in my confidence and I believe I have improved my singing techniques, although there is still lots of room for me to grow. I would recommend Joann to anyone who wishes to grow in their vocal journey, especially those who are in worship!
