My confidence has grown so much as a singer and performer since working with Aleksandra. My voice and range has developed so much in the last year and a half of working with her. I have even began Classical singing style, something I never imagined I would be capable of doing.

Goldie is an amazing vocal coach, and choosing Progress Music Academy for my lessons has been one of the best decisions I've made. I really enjoy having lessons with her. Her feedback is always constructive and encouraging, and I’ve learned so many new techniques that have really helped my voice, singing and public speaking. I can see noticeable improvement in my singing, and I’ve even had the chance to perform at showcases, which I never thought I’d be confident enough to do before. I highly recommend Progress Music Academy to anyone looking to improve their vocal skills!

I originally booked a lesson at Progress because I wasn't sure how lessons were going to fit into my schedule. I feel incredibly lucky because even though I picked Progress only based on my scheduling concerns, all of the staff have been incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Goldie in particular is one of the most encouraging teachers I have ever had, and has been able to work with me after a medical condition left my voice permanently changed.

Goldie the singing teacher at Progress Music Academy is absolutely amazing. She has helped us grow and become much more vocally talented than we could have imagined. I have seen my Teen come on strength after strength under Goldies strong supervision.

I've been having vocal lessons with Goldie for around 3 months, she's been extremely helpful with giving me tailored feedback and teaching vocal techniques. She always creates a friendly environment, making the lessons enjoyable.

Alexandra is a professional, patient and simply fantastic singing teacher. Each lesson with her is like a little journey that, in addition to new knowledge and skills, leaves you in an excellent mood for the next few days.
