"Sharon has played a pivotal role in the journey to rediscover my voice. In either the group or individual setting she provides a safe, supportive and playful environment. With her big heart and technical expertize she has helped me find the confidence to boldly belt out the unsung songs. I wish I hadn’t waited 40 years! Thank you for the music!"

"It has been said, when the student is ready the teacher will appear. Little did I know that when I started voice lessons with Sharon how much I would learn from this amazing teacher. For the first time ever, she patiently introduced me to my voice, to music and slowly I learned to like and accept my voice. Sharon's lessons were always full of variety, ever changing, and adaptable. Her patience extraordinary. The most unexpected and perhaps important benefit was the sense of joy, play and confidence she nurtured within me. Sharon has become one of my favorite people and most influential teachers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for any ability. Thank you Sharon."

I would like to say...THANK YOU Sharon for your dedication to singing!! You DO know how much JOY it brings and the HEALING it has provided me along this recent “journey” of health challenges. Bless you and all your efforts to share your passion and expertise!!
I am always very impressed by your professional approach blended with some pure fun and delight!!I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the private lessons we had...you are always so well prepared. The space you’ve created is ideal, the time spent together inspiring!
I’d say the highlight of my series of lessons was hitting that High B after going through some of your voice exercises. I thought I had totally lost it after all these years ...but there it was, FOUND!! Very encouraging!! So glad I found you!!!!"

"I first became exposed to voice through singing with my grand-daughter and loved it right away. I came home to look for a teacher and found Sharon. Sharon has been a wonderful, kind, caring teacher, and has imparted her love of music and singing to my heart. Now as a 67 year old, I find her voice lessons have given me inspiration to go further!"

“I recently concluded several months of singing lessons with Sharon Tomczyk of Esteem Vocals and would be very happy to recommend her without reservation to anyone interested in enriching the quality of their singing. I found her lessons to be well planned and thoughtfully structured, and aimed at addressing the goals that we had identified during our initial meeting. Sharon is supportive, respectful and flexible in her approach, and more than willing and able to deviate from any specific lesson plan as the need may arise. And her tracking of students’ progress, so that she can adapt future lesson plans accordingly, ensures that lessons are specially tailored to one’s individual needs. While I have gained what I need for the present, I will not hesitate to contact her again for further instruction as my needs evolve.”

"Sharon is a kind and patient teacher. I started as an elder learner with no previous background in music or singing. She has taught me pitch and breath control, and the ability to project my voice. All vital elements in singing with confidence (in a small choir). I would not hesitate to recommend her as a voice teacher to anyone who wants to learn to sing."

"I have known Sharon Tomczyk, as a singer and musician for 8 years and about 4 years ago as a choir director. I have a very high regard for her musical knowledge and ability to teach. She and her musical partner, Megan Keene, are a very effective team in delivering to and getting from their choir the kind of musical experience they want and, providing the added experience of performing in front of an audience. Sharon has the attributes of an entrepreneur, is a self starter, competent, and committed to delivering what her choir members need to be better; to have a rich singing experience."

"I have had the pleasure of attending Sharon's wonderful playful choirs, where the focus is on heart and joy.
Sharon also assisted me with private vocal lessons to "tune me up" for my CD recordings and I can't express how valuable these were to me.
While being a consummate professional, she is also a very dear friend who has been so instrumental is creating a safe, helpful and loving environment while I healed from a car accident. She's the whole package and it's my honour to write this testimonial. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"Over the past 5 years I have received singing instruction from Sharon Tomczyk in her vocal lessons format as well in her leadership role with the Sound Connections Community Choir.
I have found Sharon to be a welcoming, supportive and non-judgemental instructor in the various vocal sessions I have participated in. Sharon utilizes numerous exercises and techniques to assist with breathing, tone, pitch and dynamics. She is able to encourage and inspire both individuals and vocal groups to move to that next level in their singing abilities.
And most importantly, she makes it fun! Thank you Sharon."
