“Susan Derry is highly aware of vocal technique and pedagogy, has a vast knowledge of musical theatre/ classical/ pop repertoire, and is dedicated to the individual goals of her students. She made me a more self-aware singer, addressed the specific challenges I faced and how to overcome on my own, and taught me accountability in my practice. Most importantly, her teaching style was always motivating and empowering. Her kind guidance and supportive criticism was what ultimately made me a more consistent and confident performer.”
