Lisa Marshall's Profile

Vocal /Singing Coach - I coach people of all ages. My primary focus is proper support and breathing so that no damage is done to the vocal chords, and bringing out the gift people already have. I like working in different genres of music, and like to work with people in their style of music. I would say my classes are fun and challenging, and I think people like to get inside themselves and really find their voice. I work with each student to find a song that we will work with thoroughly. I will also record the student as a means to mark progress and to give them a physical product of their hard work. I really enjoy teaching people what I love so much.

I also teach Beginning Guitar and how to play an instrument and sing. Being a songwriter, I work with other songwriters as well.
I have experience playing guitar and bass while being a lead singer, and have a great appreciation for harmony. Please go to my website www.lisamarshallmusic.com to hear samples of my music and voice.

I give a free 15 minute vocal evaluation at Northwest Guitars, where I teach, in Bellevue, if a potential student would like to get a sampler of my class, and also if someone is not sure wether or not they may the potential to really sing.

QUOTES FROM SOME STUDENTS:

"Lisa is a very concerned, enthusiastic, talented teacher. She takes a
special interest in her students regardless of their ability."

"Although I am a person of limited talent and never expected that I
would ever be involved in vocal training, my desire to succeed has
reached a point of satisfaction where I look forward to every lesson. I
am grateful to have found a teacher of this caliber."-
Don- retired school principal

"I was hesitant to begin voice lessons because I felt I had very little
talent. However, after 15 minutes with Lisa, I wanted to jump right in!
Lisa is a brilliant, gifted singer herself and her teaching is clear,
positive and filled with expertise and enthusiasm. She has given me the
joy that comes from singing and a lesson with Lisa is the highlight of
my week. I can't imagine not singing now, thanks to her." -
Michelle- School Administrator
