Before South Fork-based sessions with Sage , my son struggled with tone and articulation. Her technique-driven approach sparked real improvement, and now she’s gearing up to audition for a regional choir.

It's fantastic collaborating with Sage on pop vocal techniques in Natomas. she possesses a real technique for identifying my strengths and guiding me in the art of fusing emotional expression with technical skill. Our sessions are consistently filled with positive vibes.
