My daughters have been students of Susan for many years. Susan is an incredibly talented vocal teacher. Highly recommend for anyone any age looking for coaching and lessons. Susan provides a safe and welcoming environment for performers.

i’ve been a student of susan’s for over 10 years now. she’s an excellent teacher and has continuously helped me improve over the years. i started when i was nine and am twenty now, and we have always worked well together; she works well with students of any age. i highly recommend her if you want to study musical theatre or classical voice. i wouldn’t be the singer i am today without her<3

I worked with Susan to improve my singing and vocal presentation, as my job not only involved public speaking, but singing in public, as well. She is a wonderful teacher! She worked with me to determine what I needed support with, she skillfully gave me specific music and exercises to improve my breath and vocal range, and she provided supportive and helpful feedback to facilitate my comfort with and ability to perform in public. I was - and continue to be - thrilled with the outcome! I'm more confident and comfortable. Susan made it all possible!

I was a vocal student of Susan Gudgeon’s for 5 years. Susan was an exceptional vocal teacher who helped me reach new heights in my singing abilities and pursue amazing performance opportunities. Susan cares deeply about her students, she values the qualities that make them unique and uses them to help her students grow and build their confidence. My years under Susan’s guidance helped shape me into the woman I am today, to follow my dreams and cherish my gift. Students will not only improve their vocal skills through Susan’s teaching but recognize the pure love that singing can bring into people’s lives. I would recommend Susan to anyone of any age interested in vocal lessons, she’s a true inspiration and leader in this craft.

I have been a student of Susan for over five years. Susan is an excellent teacher and mentor. I grew up with a musical background but took a pause when I went to university. After post secondary education I wanted to find a new hobby so I tried singing. I have thoroughly enjoyed my singing lessons with Susan and “finding my voice”. Susan believes everyone can sing and I am starting to believe it! Susan is also understanding of an “adult student” priorities and goals. I don’t have experience with other singing teachers but I think Susan has a unique way of teaching so that our voices are strong. Her younger students are also fantastic and I am inspired by them during our recitals! I highly recommend Susan to be your vocal coach.

Rick is an excellent music teacher. I would recommend KMA to anyone wanting to learn anything about music.

Rick is the best music teacher I've ever had!

Susan taught me voice all through elementary and high school and prepared me for a successful entry into university for classical vocal performance. Meeting Susan had an extremely positive impact on my life as working with her gave me great confidence as a child and into my young adult hood. Many teachers can prepare students for music exams and university entry, but Susan provided me so much more than this. She instilled a life long love of music that continues to enrich my life today. She is a one of a kind person and vocal coach who I cannot recommend enough! She is worthy of the trust of the investment, time and commitment needed when pursuing music :)

Absolutely love this choir and the confidence it has given my daughter.
