Ava and Hanna Lundebye, Students at Songbird Studios

“It is my great pleasure to recommend Katie Strock to you as a music teacher. My daughters have been taking voice and ukulele lessons from Katie Strock; Ava for 4 years and my youngest, Hanna, who started last year. It is amazing to see Katie bring the best out of my daughters, drawing from her own skills and vast range of experiences. Not only have I seen improvements in their music techniques, but they have also both gained incredible confidence in performance that have positively influenced their presentations in other areas of their education and lives. We were not only blown away by how Katie was able to make zoom classes work so soon after we all went into quarantine, but elevated the experience for my daughters through her ingenuity.

“I am extremely grateful to Katie for everything she has taught my daughters so far and the joy that their music has brought to our home, especially during this year of extreme stress. Thank you, Ms. Katie.”

"We chose Katie initially for her ability to keep lessons light and fun, and continued with her for the depth of knowledge and pure joy she brings. Our daughter has grown immensely under Katie’s guidance."

- Janel Lippy (parent)

“What I really appreciate about Katie’s teaching methods is that she listens to my needs regarding my voice, and adapts accordingly. She is always seeking more knowledge on how best to go about teaching proper techniques and doesn’t hold you to one genre of music.”

Sebastian Carricaburu, Student at Songbird Studios

"My son has been working with Katie Strock at Songbird Studios for the last year and a half. Prior to that, he had no formal vocal training. Katie helped him expand his vocal range and improve his technique. She helped him develop a performance repertoire that includes show tunes and opera, and has encouraged him to add character as he sings. She gave him the opportunity to submit recordings for a competition, and had the opera not been canceled this year, she planned to help him audition for a role. Katie is an enthusiastic teacher who gives lots of positive feedback with any corrections she recommends. She has been wonderful to work with."

Veronica Welter, Student at Songbird Studios

“Katie is amazing! I knew from the moment we met her she was going to be a rock star teacher! Our daughter started at age 7 with her and had some bad vocal habits, which Katie quickly mitigated. She is a natural-born teacher. She provides techniques that help Veronica excel. We originally had in-person lessons and I was worried about moving to Zoom classes, but Katie was in front of the curve and we didn't miss a beat. Katie is organized, has great communication, and her online teaching format is seamless. You or your child will be very pleased to choose Katie Strock as a mentor!”
