Testimonials:
"Pyeng is a rare teacher who nurtures the whole artist. Her workshops leave me with questions to journal about, exercises that free and energize, and visualizations that move me beyond my habitual ways of thinking. I walk away feeling inspired and confident about my abilities to work on myself and my voice."
"Pyeng helped me be wonderfully aware! The exercises and workshops have been so healing and have affected (positively!) my way of thinking and feeling..."
"Working with Pyeng gave me some great tools to explore like playing with breathiness, register, dynamics and adding movement to use when singing a song so that I can be inspired and express myself genuinely."
“After my work with Pyeng I know how to sing with rest in mind versus singing with work in mind. I am so much healthier and grounded in my practice as a vocalist!”
