I met Valerie at an opera audition in London and was so impressed with her playing that I asked her for private coaching.We ended up working and performing together in numerous recitals, concerts and auditions during a ten year period.
Valerie is the most knowledgeable and sensitive coach I ever worked with. She has all the skills one could wish for in a coach as well as a great range of musical knowledge and depth of experience. She has a rare sensitivity both as a performer and coach and she has guided , supported and helped me to mature as a singer.
