Vocal Ease Productions

Excellent singing teacher.

(1) "Thank you for being a very thorough and superb teacher. Choosing you as a vocal coach was perfect for me as a good start, in understanding how to use what I have been given. You are so excellent and knowledgeable. I enjoy our sessions!" K.L.

(2) "You have taught my daughter so much, and it is paying off. There are only 2 girls younger than 16 in 'Build Me Up Buttercup: The Musical' and Katie is one of them. It was made clear to the other 59 actors in the company by the director that Katie is in 'Buttercup' because of her vocal talents and she takes direction well. This is a reflection on you. You help her to feel confident at auditions while helping her voice grow. Couldn't ask for a better teacher." (Katie is in the Stars of Tomorrow Program at the Cocoa Village Playhouse).

(3)"My name is Catherine M. I hold the B.M. degree in vocal performance/opera from the prestigious Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers. I studied with Dianne Thornburgh the last three years of high school, and with her instruction gained acceptance to the vocal/choral institute at The Boston Conservatory the summer before my senior year, plus I earned superior ratings at county and state vocal performance assessments/vocal solo throughout my high school years. She followed my progress during my time at college, and continued to polish up my voice during school breaks. I highly recommend her instruction."

(4) "My name is John and I'm the minister of music at a church in Melbourne, Florida. A little over 15 years ago, I found that I began struggling with my speaking voice, which also began affecting my singing voice. Being that speaking and singing are fundamental in my profession, this was not only frustrating to me, but also, at times, quite embarrassing. I had seen many doctors, several specialists, and one vocal therapist; none of which were able to help me. I moved to Melbourne, about 4 years ago, and a mutual friend encouraged me to contact Dianne Thornburgh. Dianne has helped me regain much of what I had lost. I began seeing her weekly and can certainly attest to an improvement in both my speaking and singing voice. Dianne is a wonderful voice therapist and vocal coach. She has both a depth of knowledge and an easy going personality which make her a very effective teacher/therapist/coach. I have recommended her to many and will continue to do so for anyone needing vocal assistance. - John W. B.

(5) "Dianne Thornburgh is very knowledgeable about how the voice works and she has many different ways to help people develop their voices -- she doesn't just teach the same things to everyone. Dianne taught me like an adult, yet was fun for my young boys. She was flexible and covered a lot of material, and also gave me ideas to pass on to my boys. I just wish we had had more time for lessons, but we moved out of the area." Lynn, Robbie and Tim
