My daughter has studied with Ms. Thornburgh for a number of years. She is a caring, patient teacher who obviously loves teaching vocal students. She is very knowledgeable about the muscles and correct vocal technique. She has a way of explaining things so a student can understand. She is excellent in finding the best songs to fit a student's voice. My daughter showed continual improvement and strength with every lesson. Ms. Thornburgh is a wonderful vocalist in her own right and inspires her students to reach for their goals. I highly recommend Ms. Thornburgh for all ages - beginning through advanced.
