Students say it best:

"The Musical Theatre Workshop with is a unique, career-building experience. After taking the workshop, I found greater delight and a better understanding of my entire instrument: voice, body, and the breath. I constantly use these tools in every audition and have had major callbacks for Broadway and Off Broadway shows because of them."

  "Carol and Eddie are the best in the business - true artists with a real love of their craft.  They encourage daring and inspire artistry and their enthusiasm creates a safe atmosphere for the singer as actor and actor as singer.  I highly recommend this class for anyone who is serious about the musical as an art form."

 "Carol and Eddie, gave me gifts of wisdom, beauty, and most important, honesty. With their spirited and inspiring education I rediscovered Musical Theatre.  They gave me the courage to trust my instincts.  Positive reinforcement is a gift I received from them, along with permission to make choices, to take risks and work hard at sculpting my capabilities. Carol and Eddie's are trusted professionals.  Their advice and knowledge is current, valuable, and applicable to every audition, callback or job."
