"We watched our daughter transform right before our eyes."
"Dear Shelly,
After 4 years of vocal lessons with you (and feeling like we've become family), we thought it finally time to tell you how much you mean to us, and to our daughter.
My husband and I first saw you on stage in Valley's Got Talent, and were taken with your confidence, composure, and ability. After winning the grand prize, we came up to congratulate you (though we were nervous, your credits are impressive!) We were both immediately surprised and delighted with your charm, humble nature, kind heart, silliness, and generosity. We went home buzzing with excitement that night, and as we crawled into bed - we both agreed: "SHE is who we want our daughter to be. She is who our daughter DESERVES to be." Neither one of us had ever been so encouraged or inspired by a potential role model for our little girl.
When we first contacted you about lessons, our daughter couldn't even look us in the eye at the dinner table. She wasn't warm, or friendly, or confident. We had always allowed her to be her own person, but had become concerned over the last few years that we had made a mistake by not encouraging her to be more open and happy. We had tried many different programs, counselors, and classes. None of them had helped. Every time she returned more intimidated, more scared, and more soft spoken. Our wits end was drawing close, and our broken hearts weren't mending.
After less than a month of lessons with you she wanted to audition for her school talent show. After a few months, she was writing plays of her own. After a year of lessons, she WON her school's talent show. And now, after 4 years under your tutelage, we have watched our daughter completely transform, right before our eyes. From a shy, timid girl who couldn't even speak to her parents, to a strong, confident, smiling, charismatic, emotionally mature, focused, and driven woman, who has a thousand things she wants to accomplish when she graduates high school, and who is chomping at the bit for her chance to tackle the world.
We cannot thank you enough for what you've done for us, and for our little girl. We dread thinking about what life would have been like, had we never met you. Your influence on us has been ongoing, and 100% joyful, educating, challenging, and rewarding. Thank you, from the very bottom of our hearts. We love you."
