As a professional musician, using my voice on a daily basis with ease is a necessity. After I began to experience some problems with voice loss, harshness, and problems reaching notes I had once found easy during a hectic show schedule, I discovered Dmitri.
I’ll admit, at first I wasn’t sure if it was right for me. The exercises were like none I had ever done before, and I wasn’t sure if his technique would help me. I asked a lot of questions about the process and Dmitri was helpful, understanding and knowledgable. He led me through each exercise explaining how it would help me, so I understood everything clearly. After a few weeks of dedicating myself to the process in lessons and at home, I couldn’t believe the improvement in my voice. Songs I once found difficult were simple, and notes I had lost as well as that once were outside of my range are now easily reached. My voice no longer feels tired or hoarse and I am looking forward to another hectic summer full of shows, that I know with Dmitri’s help will be a wonderful success.
I would recommend Dmitri to anyone, no matter how new or advanced you are. You should never stop learning or practicing, especially if it’s something that is a passion for you – Dmitri can help you get to the next level, no matter what level you are on!

Working with Dmitri has been such a positive experience. Before studying with him I developed nodules and had little control over my voice. His teaching technique has allowed me to take direction of my instrument and make the crucial adjustments to fix it. Dmitri’s guidance has given me consistency and great vocal health that I can build on.
Thanks Dmitri, you have made an incredible difference to my voice.

I’ve wanted to take singing lessons for years, but have been discouraged to do so because I didn’t believe it would be possible to sing the way I’d always wanted to.
After taking only a couple lessons with Dmitri (and of course practicing!), I noticed a difference within the first couple weeks. Now 4 months into lessons, I’ve noticed a lot of improvements in my range, my tone, and strength when singing . I feel a great deal more confident singing in front of people and am convinced that I will only continue to see more improvements.

I have been taking vocal lessons with Dimitri for only 4 months now and already I have noticed a wider range and a new level of comfort when I sing. Dimitri is able to tailor each lesson to pin point the areas in need of work and train you towards strengthening your entire voice as a whole. I started out as a musician playing guitar in local bands and now I am working on recording my first solo EP, singing confidently.

I’ve been studying SLS with Dmitri for over a year and a half. I’ve learned to sing with a lot more ease than I ever thought was possible for me and am singing songs I never could have before. I’ve learned some important things that other methods don’t teach so am very greatful that there is an SLS teacher in the area ….. thanks Dmitri!

I have always enjoyed singing. Though my friends and family told me that my voice was ‘good’, I knew it wasn’t ‘great’. I have been working with Dmitri and the SLS method for the past year and have heard dramatic changes in my voice. My range has expanded and I am expressing myself more confidently and with ease. Gone is the soreness and hoarseness experienced after a night of singing! I am able to sing material I had thought was beyond my capabilities. While I still have work to do, I am getting closer to the day when I can confidently say ‘I sing freely’!

I just want to express my opinion on my daughters vocal lessons with Dmitri. Paige is 9 years old and has been taking lessons with Dmitri for the past year. In the beginning I just enrolled my daughter because I thought it would be fun for her to sing the kind of music she enjoys. We were very happy to learn that Dmitri was able to deal with my daughter’s apprehension of singing around other people. My Daughters self esteem has improved dramatically since beginning her lessons and she looks forward to going each week. We are very impressed with the program that Dmitri uses to strengthen the vocal cords. Dmitri has traveled to L.A. to keep up on all the training he uses and is very passionate about teaching what he learns.
Every week my husband and I take our daughter to her lessons and we are able to watch her through the glass doors. Each lesson is recorded from when the student starts lessons until the end. This has been a great tool for Paige to be able to see the improvement in her voice each week and also to use it for practice.
I’m very impressed with the progress that my Daughter has made since beginning the program. Dmitri keeps the lessons interesting by allowing my daughter to pick the kind of music she enjoys singing. She loves to go into her room and practice like a star. She is going to be doing her first concert on May 31st and we are very happy that she will have the opportunity to showcase her talent.
