Ms. Pam has taken my child from a kid who was unsure and certainly not capable of singing and performing her songs to a kid that loves singing and is enjoying her time onstage! Thank you for all you do!!!

Ms. Pam is a phenomenal vocal coach. She has helped my daughter in many ways, and lessons with Ms. Pam have given her a tremendous boost in confidence. We have used other voice coaches in the area and truly believe that Ms. Pam is the best!
Audra Olson
I have had the privilege of working with Ms. Pam on audition material for musicals. After a few short sessions, my material was polished and audition ready! Ms. Pam's background in performance and psychology allows her to customize a unique approach tailored for each specific student. You simply will not find a more professional, more qualified, and all around amazing person for all of your vocal instruction needs!
Brandon Paul Hobratschk
She is fantastic! After watching my daughter take lessons for a year and really start to shine, my teenage son thought he’d try out one lesson to see if it was fun. He was immediately hooked and after a few short months, he has had amazing auditions and gotten some great roles. Both kids love her and love to sing for her. It is obvious she has passion for what she does and she really loves the kids. She is an excellent vocal coach and has helped them reach their true potential.
Carmen Visus
There are lots of voice teachers in lots of cities, but Pam is one of the absolute few I would trust in Houston for pop/musical theatre. She teaches proper technique and creates incredible, sustainable results that set you on the right path to have a healthy, stunning sound. When I moved to Seattle, I asked if she knew anyone she trusts. If I could take with anyone in the world, she's one of the few I would trust. You just need to hear her students to understand the incredible work she does.
