"I first met Jo when she studied at VIDLA, and proved to be a professional vocal coach of impeccable standards and ability. Since graduating as a first-class VIDLA student Jo has continued to go from strength to strength and is now not only continuing to run her very successful private practice in New Zealand but also working with VIDLA to create a whole new arm of the academy's provision. We are delighted to have her as part of our world-class team." Dr. Ria Keen, Principal at VIDLA
“Jo is an amazing and excellent vocal coach. Since being coached by her, my ability to speak at length for professional presentations, and voice quality for speech and singing has improved dramatically. I cannot recommend Jo enough to anyone who speaks or sings.” John
“Jo has taken the mystery away of how I can sing at my best. Her teaching style is clear, concise and easy to understand and it works! I truly appreciated her extra support and coaching while I was in the recording studio laying down my demo tracks.” Jeremy
“Hi Jo - just wanted to drop you a line and thank you again so much for seeing me while I was up in Auckland. I found your instruction to be immediately useful and it has made a difference in my performance already just by thinking about how I am sitting on a stool! If only Auckland was a little closer!” Elizabeth

“Our trainers’ voices are an integral part of their performance to facilitate great training sessions. Jo ran a very slick, fun 90 minute session which covered how the voice works, how to breathe, stand, project without straining, diction and how to look after your voice. With only a few words she understood issues each of the trainers had and found ways they could improve their projection and way they spoke. Feedback from the staff was great.
I am very happy to recommend Jo and look forward to her working with some of our trainers on an individual basis to further improve their performance.” Milene Haakman, Training Manager, Impac Services Ltd
“I want you to know that my husband and I have noticed such a change in our daughter since she has been working with you. She is more composed, more confident and you have preserved her love of music and singing while helping her to be comfortable in herself. She has enjoyed coming to you very much and has learnt much from you. I would be more than happy to recommend you to any parent wanting to find a highly skilled vocal coach who employs a balanced and healthy approach towards developing young voices”. Barbara (currently completing her Masters in Education)
“Jo was a valuable asset to the school, the students enjoyed her teaching and she took much satisfaction from teaching them. They were very receptive to her and learned valuable music and performance skills which contributed to their holistic learning, growth and development and improved the singing at our school significantly. Additionally, due to her expertise and knowledge of the voice, the students immature larynx were given correct songs to sing or the songs were transposed into a key that enabled the students to sing comfortably and ensured that no laryngeal harm occurred.” M. Judd, Acting Principle Monte Cecilia Catholic School
