TESTIMONIALS
My daughter, Kaia, has been attending vocal lessons with Michael Scharff for a little over a year now. She has always been a performer and sadly started to lose confidence. With in three months of working with Michael she had enough confidence to submit an audition to the New England Sings Competition and the Ogunquit Playhouse and was selected to perform out of approximately 100 applicants. He is so much more than a voice coach to Kaia, He is also a mentor and a friend. He gives her a level of confidence and professional poise that I have never seen in her before. He helps her prepare for auditions, performances, and life. Every parent considering voice lessons should consider Michael Man Music!
