“I have been taking vocal lessons from Cydney for a little bit now and I couldn’t recommend her more! She highlights the importance of the fundamentals of singing in a fun and easy way to understand. One of the things that makes her such a good vocal coach is how much she cares about you as her student and as a person. She’s helped me improve my technique but more importantly she’s helped me find confidence in my voice!”

— Kylee, 2021
“I have been singing for a long time and currently sing every week for my church as a Worship Director. About a year ago, I started seeing Cydney for voice lessons to get back to the basics and all I can say is it's been very helpful to me. Cydney has helped me to find new confidence in my singing and to know that there's still more learning and growing I need to do. She's fun and easy to work with and I have learned that I can make beautiful music with my voice without having to try to make it sound like someone else's. If you're looking to grow in your vocal technique and vocal abilities, I would highly recommend reaching out to Cydney!”

"This past semester I have had the honor of working with Cydney at CMW Sounds to unlock my sound. During this time I learned new vocal techniques and about my own sound and abilities as a singer. This experience has kickstarted my vocal career in unimaginable ways. Cydney is a treat to work with, she's always so optimistic and excited for each lesson. Her teaching environment is always fun and accepting to be yourself, free of judgement. It was truly a joy to have gotten to work with Cydney and her amazing energy this past semester!"
