The only professional to contact me, and then spent 25 minutes introducing herself and what she can offer me.

Received response within 24 hours. Merilyn is an excellent teacher, understood my queries, patient, flexible, very professional. Zoom method works very well (my first experience). Would recommend highly.

👍👍 to Merilyn.
I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn or improve vocal techniques.
You are never too old to learn singing from her.

I attended Merilyn’s workshops to learn more songwriting techniques and she helped me refine some of my own songs in private sessions. She has great knowledge and experience and her encouragement has been instrumental in leading me to record and release my first single and EP.

As a late-comer to voice, I felt nervous and anxious in my early lessons with Merilyn. She helped me over the early "I can't do it" hurdles with patience and latitude in her approach to teaching breath & voice technique, and music theory.
Within 18 months, I felt confident enough to perform on stage, singing Jazz, and since then she has invited me to sing with her at public gigs.
For me, she keeps her approach to my training light-hearted and yet well-focussed on the skills needed for the musical passages on which we are working.
I am grateful to her, for helping me to really experience music as a full body process and not just to hear musical sound. The joy music brings me now is profound; I commend her to you as a teacher and musical mentor.

Merilyn is a fantastic teacher, when I came to learn guitar I was very inexperienced. Her teaching style and mentoring has given me the confidence to learn the basics and to be able to learn at my own pace. It is one thing to be a teacher and it is another not only teach but to inspire your students to want to achieve more, to grow in your music capabilities. Merilyn has inspired me to be the best guitar player I can be,
