Kathleen McDonald’s holistic approach to voice lessons helped me through one of the most demanding artistic years of my life. Kathleen’s teaching doesn’t stop at music; she brings performance technique and psychology into everything she does. Always instilling healthy habits in her students along the way. She manages to not only bring rigor to her teaching, but kindness as well. Her studio is a wonderful environment in which to grow.

I recommend Kathleen McDonald’s studio most highly. Kathleen taught me in vocal performance for years at The College of Saint Rose, always showing utmost support to not only my progression, but the progression of all of her students. Kathleen traveled from Boston, MA to Albany, NY to attend my Senior Recital – a capstone performance combining Classical and Jazz. Kathleen is a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing and is top in her field. For all you are interested in the study of vocal music, choose Kathleen McDonald to lead you.
