One Google review from Shahar A. states that Joann was helpful in unlocking the ability to sing songs that had seemed out of range and describes Joann as kind and able to choose effective exercises. Another Google review from Amanda Ni describes progress over about eight months of lessons, including learning to build a foundation in chest voice, transition into mix and head voice, achieve vocal closure, find placement, navigate passaggio, and use facial expression, tongue, jaw, and core strength to shape sound, as well as learning how to design a song thoughtfully. A third Google review from Connie Lee describes starting private vocal coaching after many years of leading worship without formal training and learning to identify chest, head, and mixed voices, along with warmups and exercises to strengthen mixed and head voice, and notes that Joann is familiar with worship leading and worship songs.
