Testimonials
“Mirthe makes sure you sing much better in very little time. ‘Your voice is a muscle and all muscles can be trained.’ In just a few sessions, she expanded my range and I could hit a high A quite accurately. The singing lessons are fun, confidential and relaxed.” – Noël
“Singing with Mirthe is a combination of solid exercises with explanations and tools to do them well (also at home) and learning to sing from your heart, as if you’re on stage. Always a celebration and you go home with lots of energy.” – Ellen
“During my training at the Universal Voice Institute, I had lessons with Mirthe several times. I always found this very pleasant and it helped me grow as a singer. I particularly remember the scat singing lesson where Mirthe helped me overcome my insecurities. Thanks to Mirthe, I am now able to scat in public without being insecure about it!” – Pien |
