"My husband & I could not be more pleased with the instruction our child received from Allysa Packard. The focus on technique and overall health of the voice has been critical in their development as a singer. While we’ve seen an improvement in confidence overall, as more challenging roles and honors are coming their way! I’ve referred her other families to Allysa for both virtual and in-person lessons because she is an excellent teacher." -Shannon S., Parent
"We've seen a marked improvement in our daughter's confidence performing since she began taking lessons with Allysa."
-Kelly T., Parent
"Allysa Packard was my voice teacher for my junior and senior years of high school. Having never worked with a private instructor before, Allysa met me where I was, starting with my own personal goals: a basic understanding of music theory, aural skills, musical literacy, and to widen my range of repertoire. While most of our lesson was spent working on my vocal development and technique, working on my personal goals made me a more sophisticated musician. We worked on music theory, aural skills, and musical literacy that created a strong foundation for me as I navigate music school today. She offers a flexible and supportive teaching environment tailored specifically to each of her students. From practicing my skills in accurate rhythmic counting to challenging repertoire, Allysa pushed me out of my comfort zone, making me more confident to make bold choices as a performer. As a teacher, she wants you to grow and push yourself, but her constant care for her students is truly what sets her apart. I can say with confidence that by working with Allysa, she helped me receive acceptance into numerous music schools. She worked tirelessly to prepare me for the audition process, working on several different pieces at a time and practicing proper audition etiquette. The time I spent as Allysa’s student is what put me on a path for success and passion in music school."

"Allysa is incredibly patient and takes time to connect with her students. She can see what her students need and adapts to fit their learning style."
-Melissa H., Parent
"Being a student of Allysa’s for about 4 years helped me to become fully confident in my potential as a performer as well as in my general skills as a vocalist. Working with her allowed me to learn more about healthy ways to expand my vocal skills and become more knowledgeable about music theory.
As a student in college pursuing vocal performance, her Teacher in a Pocket package is perfect to receive feedback from an outside source to get another opinion on pieces I’m working on. This feedback is always extremely helpful and specific. She thoroughly goes through the piece checking acting, vowel placement, and notes, helping me to evolve as a performer. Using this package has helped me to get final notes before my voice midterms and has been so helpful during my progression as a performer this year."
-Megan D.
"Allysa really knows her stuff. After every lesson I walk away thinking "this is why I come here." I can honestly say I am a much better singer after working with Allysa. I have been working with her for about 5 years and I continue to work with her because she keeps making me better and she is a joy to work with."
