Working with Hilarie over these past several years has been such a transformative experience for my daughter, both as a musician and as a young person heading into the challenging time of becoming a teen. Hilarie's patience, encouragement, and knowledge have not only helped my daughter develop her skills as a musician and performer, but have also allowed her confidence and creativity to bloom. Hilarie’s kindness and warmth allows her to connect so easily with my daughter on a personal level, allowing her to provide guidance and support that goes so far beyond music. She has been my daughter’s biggest cheerleader and that kind of encouragement has really meant the world to my daughter and our family. I’m so grateful for the incredible positive impact Hilarie has had in our lives. She is just a wonderful human and I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor and role model for my child.

“I have been taking private lessons with Hilarie for 4 years, and she has helped me grow as a performer in so many ways. I would recommend working with her because she teaches you techniques and tools that help you succeed. She also makes sure that you are confident in what you are singing. An example is from a couple weeks ago, when Hilarie was helping me prepare for an audition for my school’s production of Little Shop of Horrors. Before my lesson, I was extremely nervous and felt unprepared for my audition the following day, but when I left my lesson, I felt very confident in my audition cut, and got the role of Audrey, all thanks to Hilarie. Hilarie has helped me accomplish so many things in the past 4 years that I never would have been able to do without her, and she is an incredible person to work with. She kept pushing me, and made me realize that I can do things that I never thought I could. Reaching high notes, doing her crazy warmup exercises, difficult harmonies, and getting the roles of my dream.
