“Julie’s expertise in vocal instruction blended with her amazing ability to connect and inspire your artists is a unique combination that beautifully produces confident and skilled musicians. My daughter Monet has taken lessons with Julie for seven years and the vocal transformation I have witnessed is profound. Monet’s confidence in her singing ability and subsequent success as and actress in theater is directly connected to being a consistent student of Julie’s.”

“Young adults seek teachers and mentors they can trust and feel safe with and Julie embodies both of these traits. Julie dedicates herself to her students and their musical journey and in-turn the students show up and trust her with their vulnerabilities when learning how to use their voice as an instrument. As a parent I have been an audience member in many performances that highlight Julie’s students and what a joy that is and will continue to be!”
“My daughter Elizabeth has studied voice with Julie Ness since she was 12 years old. Julie is a master at laying the foundational vocal work necessary for performers to grow and develop their instrument. The foundational classical training allowed Elizabeth to develop her mix and belt voice for musical theatre as a high school student and to be competitive in regional and national vocal competitions.”

“Julie Ness helped give my life a sense of purpose. I started my training with her when I was 13, which also happened to be one of the most turbulent years of my life. My parents were in the middle of a divorce and my whole world was turning upside down. She kept me tethered to the power of music and a vocal practice that helped me feel grounded and focused. I was able to learn the skills and gain the confidence I needed to audition for state and regional singing festivals, land the roles in musicals, and find my voice as a singer and songwriter. Almost 20 years later, I still utilize the skills I learned from Julie (and even squeeze in a lesson from her from time-to-time). Just know that if you are lucky enough to study with her, you will have an extremely positive transformational experience that will define you as a musician for years to come.”
