Since relocating to Downtown Aurora, I began taking voice lessons with Theron , and it's been a game-changer. he specialzes in pop vocals and helped me strengthen my breath control while teaching me how to convey real feeling through my singing. Just a few months in, I felt confident enough to record my debut single!

I appreciate how Theron values my input as a team learner. he encourages me to propose current songs, and then he expertly arranges them for the guitar.. Creating a duet from a rock ballad with his was a truly fantastic project.

When my high schooler struggled to prepare for his All-State audition, Theron stepped in with targeted, effective coaching. Focused sessions on resonance and tone helped him deliver with confidence. We’re lucky to have found this kind of support in Carpenter.
