“Dr. Scott Farthing provides an environment where transformation and learning can take place in the field of voice classes.  When I began I was the "queen of karaoke" and with his helpful guidance and direction, I am now able to sing jazz professionally with a pianist.  Scott is a gifted teacher and mentor as well as a composer of music and a talented singer.  He encourages me to push past my fears and resistance found in the process of singing and helps me to believe in my abilities and hard work to excel in the presentation of the music. “
