“During my experience of being taught by Nomy, she sat with me and listened to find the roadblocks in my singing and helped me to work out each one with a smile. She is an expert teacher, laugher, supporter, comforter, and worker. If I wasn’t so lucky to find an instructor with the perfect combination of all of these things right off the bat, I’m sure I would have bolted after my first lesson. Coming back to Nomy turned out to be the most exciting and fun process that I’ve been privileged to go through in a long, long time.”
