TESTIMONIALS
She's Incredible
I wanted to tell you how much Gwen Holt changed so much for me. I was barely able to speak into the microphone before I started taking lessons with her and now I'm doing harmonies and leads too. She's amazing and part vocal coach part singing witch doctor part therapist lol. Also, she's a bass player lol! She's incredible! She's one of those people who has had hundreds of vocal students and she has the talent and ability to find things that work for each specific person and she's dedicated to that. She's not the one of those celeb one trick coaches.

Total Bad@$$
Gwen is a total bad@$$, and has been able to teach a punk rocker who learned to play music in a garage to sight-read and understand music theory, which is no easy feat.

Patience and kindness
It's a wonderful opportunity to be able to learn blues harmonica from a musician as accomplished as Gwen. Her patience and professionalism, as well as her inherent kindness, make the learning process a delight.

She's a legend!
Did some singing today with my vocal coach, Gwen Holt. Gwen worked with me on my last album "Little Doors" and she is once again cracking the whip getting me ready for my vocal takes next month. She's a legend!

Tailored instruction
Excellent vocal coach. Really knows what she’s doing and also takes the time to understand my own goals and give tailored instruction that has lead to a ton of growth in not that much time!
Working with Gwen has been fantastic! She’s very technically knowledgeable, but more importantly she’s actually taken the time to get to know my specific goals and helped me greatly towards meeting them.

Easy to talk to
First of all, she is so personable and easy to talk to. If you have any nerves or reservations, she will ensure that you’re comfortable and professionally help you with things that need a little tweaking.
Secondly, Gwen is clearly knowledgeable of her skill set. The lesson was very fluid and consistent. It doesn’t matter what you need to work on, she can alter the lesson to fit your needs, easily.

Builds confidence
Gwen is a talented, musically versatile, patient teacher who takes each student for what and where they are and builds their confidence and skill. My 8th grader just got accepted into Nashville School of the Arts Level 2 after studying with Gwen for two years. Completely professional and very inspiring!

Passion for music
Coming from a family of luthiers, our family music business has worked with all walks of life and styles of music. I bring this up because when it came time to look for a music teacher for my daughter, I had a different perspective. Gwen Holt has not only exceeded my wishes in her talent and musicality, but in her approach and guidance she has offered. I myself have taken a few voice lessons with her to help improve my range. Whenever I am asked or hear of someone looking for a music instructor, I always recommend Gwen and do so with complete confidence. Our family has loved having Gwen as a part of my daughter’s life for the past 6 years and we look forward to our younger daughter starting up with her in a few years. Thank you, Gwen, for sharing your gifts and passion of music with our family.

Gets the best out of you
On all recorded tracks, she incrementally listened-in and guided me through my trouble spots so I felt more at home behind the recording mic. Her focus is on comfortably extracting the best range in the right spots, while helping to create the color and intent of the expression in a phrase or single end-note. She grounds you while instilling achievable building blocks that lend ease and confidence to the artist and the project as a whole.
