Testimonials

“As a musician and director of various music groups over the past 18 years, I have worked with Joanne Harding on a professional basis many times… I admire Joanne not only for her various musical and creative skills, but also for her integrity and genuine passion for what she does and how she performs.

I have worked with many musicians and artists over the years, and seldom have I worked with someone who matches Joanne’s attention to detail and love for what she does. She is an artist who always succeeds in garnering so many details from both the music, in terms of style and performance, and portrays a deep knowledge in how the text is delivered. I have profound respect for Joanne’s professionalism and calibre, as they are frankly rare these days.

From my many dealings with Joanne, it is evident that her priorities lie in the art itself and fulfilling the potential of what the art can be, ever striving to represent the song or text with the utmost of integrity...I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is seeking for someone to teach, compose, create, sing, perform and to inspire others”.

“Joanne has been my mentor for the past 7 years, and since my first singing class I have expanded my vocal range and clarity, strengthened my breath support, and have enjoyed many conversations on the holistic and healing powers of voice and music.

Joanne is a holistic mentor who brings elements of her life as a music teacher, professional singer, healer and poet into every lesson, encouraging her students to bring their own creativity and experience to their practice”~  Ella.

“Merry Christmas Joanne and Kostas…Recently I was scrolling through my phone gallery and found a video from one of our lessons. My heart felt so warm instantly. Coming to our class has always been associated with something like home, so safe, and deeply spiritual for me – like a place where I could truly be myself.

Meeting you was a real gift of fate. I am endlessly grateful that you…. decided to take me as your student. Thank you for believing in me – sometimes it feels like you believe in me even more than I believe in myself. Thank you for always seeing the light in me and speaking it out loud. That meant so much, and it always inspired me. I will never forget that.

You are truly wonderful. Your kindness warms so many hearts I’m sure. You became the kind of person, the kind of teacher, that I always felt I was missing in my life.

And Kostas… – such a magical and talented soul, and also incredibly funny. I love his honesty, his directness, the freedom to talk about absolutely anything… and of course the “quests” he always gives me – “What do you see in this painting?”

Sending you so much love, warmth, and gratitude this Christmas. I carry you both in my heart ”~ Vlada
