Congratulations to Josiah Hawley on the voice!! He is a super nice and talented guy. He would always stop by to say hi and visit me in the Voice Lab at Belmont. Watch him on "The Voice" this season!

After 8 years of teaching, I had always loved children and teens. Last fall, I lost and experienced the death of my own child in a miscarriage which shook me to the core of my being. I never thought I would regain the strength to care for another child. But, the love of so many of my former students asking if I would teach again showed me how much they loved being here with me, and it gave me hope that I could teach again. So, I've been back to teaching for almost 3 months now. In the midst of God's grace and healing, I am once again blessed to have another chance at giving life to this precious baby inside of me, and I have my God, husband, family, friends, and students to thank for giving me a renewed sense of hope and love.

This is why singers need to get in my studio for some serious training...If you're not in my area, then find a local teacher who can help you.

I've taught singing in Nashville, Pittsburgh, and West Virginia for 7 years. I never know the effect music and teaching will have on someone. Today, I am humbled and honored to have received this from a former student..."Kristal,
Just wanted to say hi and thank you again for the invaluable vocal lessons you provided for me a couple years ago! I use many of the warm-ups daily, and recently recorded a full length album with my band. I couldn't have imagined the confidence and strength that I've gained when I started working with you and can't thank you enough." - Kyle
