Salome, Germany "Hey Dionne, how are u? Franni and me had a Gig yesterday, and some different people came to me afterwards and told me that I made a huge step in singing since the last time they saw me! I sang very high yesterday, I created another Voice of "Euphoria" by Loreen, that is higher than the lead Voice, also I did the same with "Aint no mountain"...though I had some bad signs and maybe I have not sang in the right technique all the time (a had a little pain, but I think its also because we sang 5 hours minimum the last days to practice) I feel much more comfortable with the high notes since we met! I try to find my "twang" in the Gospel practices too and sometimes I feel I´m using the technique, that you showed me, in the correct way. I was surprised and happy, that I got that feedback from different people yesterday, and I wanted to give the compliment to you, cause you showed me how to handle my voice and gave me so much confidence!! Thank you for that." XX Salome July 2013
Clare, Bedfordshire " I went home and cried, for the first time I was sure I could sing. I'd gone from singing in the congregation to singing at the front after one lesson. My daughter said I was glowing, I was so happy." Clare Perry, May 2013

"My first lesson was overwhelming, a breakthrough and built my confidence. Now I am able to sing with more awareness of my voice and listen to others in order to help my skills develop.
I highly recommend Dionne to anyone who sings in church and feels vocally inadequate or intimidated. Call her now if you have problems" Beverly, London, 2013

"Got
to big up Dionne!! I have worked with her since joining Luton Gospel
Community Choir where she has been our principal vocal coach.
Last
November the choir sang with British Gospel Artist MUYIWA and Dionne
whipped us into to shape ensuring that our diction was correct and that
we were able to hit and control those high notes. She also gave me one
on one tuition for the song I sang lead for on the night.
That time with
her was well spent , it gave me confidence to hit those very very high
notes that I was unsure of. The techniques she taught were sound and I
continue to use them whenever I have to sing." Steve 2011 .
Edyta's Testimonial
"Everybody
finds it difficult to overcome his/ her fear especially when we have to face a
possibility that perhaps we are not capable of doing something we've been
dreaming about.
Well, Dionne is definitely
capable of pointing out that perhaps it's not a matter of lack of talent.
It' s just the matter of being aware of what you should or shouldn't do while
singing.
I really believe that with the
proper guidance we can move mountains and there is one person really I
would like to thank for moving mountains that happen to be in my way -
Dionne."

"Hi, I'm Lemonade and I am a Dancehall Singer. Big up Dionne! She has been teaching me how to perform, how to sing, how to control my voice , breath. and sing higher notes. She's the best!" Lemonade, Luton, 2011
Tolu, London
"Lessons with Dionne has really helped save my voice. I discovered during my first few lessons that something wasn't right, with a slight irritation in my throat when going through vocal exercises. Dionne recommended i make an appointment with an ENT specialist at the British Association of Performing Arts and Medicine in London, who diagnosed GERD, which has now been treated. I am now exploring my vocal capabilities in ways i hadn't imagined." 2011
Sakeena , Luton
"In my [first 5] singing lessons i have achieved my goal of singing high notes. I enjoy doing my lessons because they really help me to improve on my singing." 2011

Although I was a member of the worship team in my church, I never felt confident with my singing. Through SOS vocal training, my
confidence has greatly improved as well as vocals. Dionne is a great trainer.
Through her teaching, encouragement and expertese I am sure I will reach my
goal in music. I recommend SOS vocal training to anyone who wishes to develop
their singing. Liz, Hope Church Worship Team, Luton 2009

given Katie so much more confidence in her ability and improved her voice
noticably in such a short space of time.
Thank

"SOS
vocal training has been amazing. I knew I needed to start singing lessons but
was unsure of who to Dionne,
I
embarked upon her six weeks training course.
The
course was insightful with excellent teaching on breathing exercises the
anatomy of the vocal organs and useful singing techniques.
Dionne
has the gift to draw out of you what may be hidden, she is firm, accurate in
her assessment and knows how to build confidence in you.
I
look forward to working with Dionne in the near future and would highly
recommend her to any one who may be looking to
train their voice or who would just like to improve on their vocal
technique." Anne Marie, Croydon, UK
