I have been taking singing lessons with Casimir for several months concentrating on improving my tone, pitch, and handling performance anxiety. His lessons are both demanding and encouraging. He has a great sense of how to challenge me just the right amount without making it too much to handle.

Through Casimir ’s coaching, my son honed his voice control and performance skills, leading him to secure second place in a solo competition. He’s already eager for the next one! Cabarrus Country Club truly made a difference in his journey.
