Here is what Clint Williams, Chair of the Performing Arts Program at Sanford School in Hockessin, DE and president of the Delaware Music Educators Association has to say about working with Lisa.
- “I have witnessed Lisa’s work with students for over 5 years. Her knowledge of singing technique is remarkable and she has a unique way of connecting with each student immediately. In addition to her vocal pedagogy skills, she is an excellent vocal coach. Her insight into the drama of songs is outstanding and I have witnessed marked improvement from every student she has spent time with not only on an individual basis, but in a group setting as well. I enthusiastically endorse Lisa Howard as a voice teacher and vocal coach.”

Musical Theater Audition Workshop

Character Development
