Reviews & Testimonials
Gail Korchinski
Shari Chaskin is an extremely talented performer, with a beautiful tone, an amazing range, and the ability to draw out the emotion in any song. She is an enthusiastic teacher, and a caring source of encouragement and inspiration. Her years of experience in both musical theatre and concert venues have given her the expertise and the sensitive ear for diagnosing tricky vocal problems, and a broad range of tools to tackle them. In my assessment session, she figured out that an issue I had been having for months with a particular song was due to my breathing, and helped me to fix it. Over a season of lessons, she improved my tonal quality, my tuning, and increased the range of my full voice by an astonishing amount. Finally, Shari's concerts are master classes in the vocal craft - all the techniques she's taught are on display, perfectly executed.

I attended a vocal workshop where I met Shari and her amazing vocal talent! I knew right away that I wanted her as my voice teacher. I have learned so much about breath control, vocal registers, music and other amazing aspects of singing. Let me just say that my confidence, as well as my singing, is improving with each lesson!
Shari is the best decision I ever made to expand and grow my voice. Any person who engages Shari as their vocal coach will be extremely happy!!

I’m walking on air after every great session!!
My experience with Shari as my coach has been exciting and positive. She assesses honestly and effectiviely
communicates, to give me the advances I need to feel and hear the changes when I sing.
Shari’s vocal coaching lessons are filled with genuine enthusiasm and love!

I have taken 4 singing lessons with Shari and have noticed a huge
improvement in my voice control. Shari does more than teach
you how to sing. She coaches you on how to give life to your songs
and helps you to extract the very best from your voice.
Thanks Shari!!!

If, like me, you have been looking for a coach with real life expertise, a sense of fun and commitment to your voice goals, Shari is the ticket!
In a few sessions I’ve already improved my voice and working toward my goals in a most joyful way!

You have no idea how much that first session improved my range. I think I had fallen into some lazy habits because I can once again sing songs I thought I had lost. I’m excited to see how much more I can achieve. If this is what one lesson can do, you can be assured I will be scheduling more sessions with you soon!
Andrea Belcher
Shari is a truly wonderful vocal coach—kind, patient, and deeply supportive. From the very first lesson, she creates a safe, encouraging space where you feel comfortable exploring your voice and growing at your own pace. She is also an incredible singer herself, and her deep understanding of technique comes from real experience and artistry. Her knowledge is impressive, but what really sets her apart is how gently and thoughtfully she shares it, always lifting you up and building your confidence. Working with her feels both nurturing and inspiring, and I’m so grateful for her guidance!
Kimberlee Wolfe
I have only been under Shari Chaskin’s skilled and experienced vocal tutelage for 3 incredible months! I am already noticing improvements in my connection to breath, ear tuning, awareness of my chest and head voice, style and confidence. Shari guides with individual attention, support and enthusiasm; making it incredibly safe to believe in my ability to sing better. I feel so blessed to be coached by such a gifted and professional artist! Thank you Shari!

Today was nothing short of PHENOMENAL!
Our workshop with the incredible Shari Chaskin was truly transformational. Shari brought such a beautiful, caring, and nurturing approach to everyone involved, and it created an environment where each of us felt seen, heard, and empowered to take our vocal journey to the next level. Her expertise, warmth, and encouragement were beyond inspiring!

I have always been shy to sing around others and wanted to heal some trauma by working on my voice. Shari holds a loving, caring & supportive container for me to be vulnerable and sing!!
My voice has changed, and I feel more confident as a whole. It's such a gift to use my voice to sing.

I couldn’t be happier with the decision to have Shari work with our daughter! Mila listens to Broadway musicals and sings all of the time. Investing in lessons to help her pursue her passion and develop her technique has increased her confidence and improved her vocal skills. I can’t say enough about how welcome and encouraging Shari has been.
We would highly recommend working with Shari if you are looking to improve your singing at home or on stage.

Just wanted to tell you something exciting! Yesterday I was singing better than I think I ever have. I was hitting notes that I had little hope of hitting just weeks ago with comparative ease. After one song, I actually shouted out with joy because I could hardly believe what I had done. Thanks for all your efforts and working to push me!
