Testimonials from some her students:
‘Thank you for believing in me from the start. I love you to bits. Happiness always.” Delta
‘Roxanne, my artists are LOVING their sessions with you. I was with them earlier today in the studio and they are sounding AMAZING! Thanks so much for your work on this one – They seem to be finding their signature sounds really naturally now!” Liz Mudie – ARTIST MANAGER – SONY
‘Roxanne has been teaching me for years. I walked in as a mumbly, angsty teenager who, at the time, was incredibly hard to understand any word I was singing. Roxanne has coached me into singing in the right area. The moment I found this ‘area’ it was like I had no ceiling and no pain and completely at ease vocally…just magic! Roxanne takes no excuses for vocal laziness; she lives and breathes singing teaching. I have watched my singing ability skyrocket with her coaching me every step of the way. I believe she is the best in the business.
A lady who can sing her way out of vocal nodules is evidence enough that what she does is pretty incredible.’ Hayley Warner
‘Roxanne, thank you so much for being an amazing teacher! Thank you for improving my singing and for believing in me and teaching me so much. I am so blessed to have you as my singing teacher” Marlisa – Winner X-Factor
After ‘singing’ for many years I had developed nodules on my vocal cords and sought relief before imminent surgery. From lesson, actually; minute one, Roxanne identified the problem and rectified my vocal technique.” Steve Edmonds
