Here’s what Sharon’s recent coaching clients have been saying about their sessions:

  • “You helped me be more confident and have fun during the audition”

  • “In the past I had always prepared the music but had never adequately prepared my brain/nerves. When I walked on stage at my audition, for the first time I felt throughly prepared, both musically and mentally.”

  • “Thank you for making the audition prep and experience 2000 times more worthwhile and rewarding!”

Omg!!! Thank you soooooo much Sharon!!!!!!! I am in the clouds right now, what a wild feeling. I really owe this success to you. You helped me so much with my preparation and refining my skills in it. Not to mention building my confidence which was key today as well.
