“Thank you for everything you do! I am so much happier and more confident in my voice now and I can’t wait to grow even more!”
— Zoe G.
“My daughter had voice lessons with Megan for two years, and in this time she not only grew musically, but personally. It was scary to get up on stage and perform in front of an audience at the first recital, but with Megan’s tutelage and support she became more and more confident each time, and eventually looked forward to the challenge; even participating in voice competitions. Megan was an invaluable contributor to her overall musical education, music appreciation, and personal growth, and I would recommend that journey to anyone.”
“Megan’s teaching is always focused and present. She can both encourage and challenge you with emphasis on encouragement. She cares deeply about each student. She will open a world you never knew. Megan is a GREAT teacher for adults and children… She knows her stuff, her students are winners, and you’ll have a truly great time!”
“Megan is a special teacher because she dedicates extra time to truly understand her students. She always considers her students’ feelings and opinions, and makes an exceptional effort to get to know them as individuals.
Vocally, my work with Megan has greatly strengthened the control I have over my voice. She also frequently encourages me to step out of my comfort zone and practice widening my vocal range. Additionally, working with Megan helped me develop greater confidence in my abilities as a musician.”
“Megan Theodorou has been a wonderful teacher and mentor to all three of my children. I have watched them bloom under her tutelage. All three are very different singers, and she tailors her teaching to each of them. Megan is kind and loving and truly cares about each of her students - thinking about them and preparing for them outside of their lesson time. My two daughters are college-aged and she sent them off fully prepared to pursue continued vocal instruction, and both have chosen to minor in music much because of her nurturing influence! Megan is a wonderful teacher and an incredible person with immense talent and a huge heart!”
“I currently study musical theatre at Cal State Fullerton. I worked with Megan all throughout high school and she helped me find my voice. Megan is so positive and helped me grow with her encouragement and thoughtful, constructive criticism. With her, I strengthened my range and improved my acting. She focuses on your growth and is caring and attentive. I treasure the experience of being her student and would highly recommend anyone who wants to pursue their passion to train with her!”
“So very grateful for Megan‘s investment in helping our daughter develop an understanding of music and singing in order to progress in choir. Megan took a fledgling singer under her wing and gently encouraged her to grow, celebrating every victory with her. Megan’s gifted direction enriched our daughter, helped her step into new experiences and develop her ability in a variety of new ways! We are very thankful for Megan!”
“As one of Megan’s clearly “mature” students who started singing much later in life, my goal is simply to be a better singer in my local community choir, and through improved technique, enjoy my singing more. It’s great to have some-one who is not a “cookie-cutter” teacher, but who listens to, and adapts to my needs and goals. I like to focus on technique, and I find my choral pastime significantly more enjoyable. But in addition, through Megan’s encouragement, now I find myself in the position of taking on solo pieces without the previously felt absolute terror, but have learned to enjoy what I am doing and relish the opportunities.”
“I have known Megan since I was 15 years old. Over the years, I have been able to pursue a career in singing and performing that has taken me all over the world. As my career grows, I realize the importance of solid, professional guidance & I know I can always count on Megan.”
