Jeremy has done more for me in six months than all of my previous vocal instruction over the years could do combined. I have seen my strength and range both dramatically increase but that is nothing compared to the level of confidence I now have because of his instruction. Jeremy is as knowledgeable about the physiology of singing as he is about the psychology of singing. It is his ability to retrain the brain, replacing bad technique with proper technique and teaching, through example, that the path is often times much simpler than we realize which has had the most profound effect on me. When I first came to Jeremy I was self conscious, insecure and unable to get through my first bridge. In the space of six months I can now reach my second bridge, I sing more confidently with a richer tone and have an array of vocal options for song writing I never had before. I can not recommend Jeremy enough and look forward to his continued instruction.

Jeremy has not only taught me the skills and criteria to achieve success in voice, he has helped my self- esteem and confidence as a musician and individual. Jeremy has given me excellent results in a tremendously short amount of time.

I have been taking lessons from Jeremy for about two years now, and I love it! My voice has improved so much in these two years, and I could definitely say that working my voice with him has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. He is such a wonderful teacher, singer, and coach, and I have learned so much. I have much more confidence in my voice, and it has reached levels that I never thought I would be able to reach with ease. Jeremy has also introduced me to great singing opportunities that I will forever be grateful for. I will definitely be continuing my lessons with him long term.

We found Jeremy by word of mouth from a very talented musician and dear friend. She gave us such a high recommendation. She knew of my long on going search for someone who was really good and who could really make a difference. We can not say enough about Jeremy… his talent, his expertise… well, he’s brilliant.

All three of my children (11, 12 & 12 years old) are learning guitar from Jeremy and they couldn’t be more enthusiastic about it because of him. He has such an amazing way of seeing their individual talents and needs and he is so highly educated in this field. My kids have come far in a very short period of time – just three months ago, they didn’t know a single note and now they are jamming free form together.

Jeremy has far exceeded my high expectations. I drive 32 miles one way just for our sessions and he is so worth it! We not only consider him an amazing music coach but we consider him a family friend. Whether its speech level singing coaching or guitar coaching… you will be so grateful to have him as your personal coach. We truly are!

Working with Jeremy Bruce, while using Seth Rigg’s Speech Level Singing technique, will go a long way toward helping you actually achieve your vocal goals.

Bottom line: Jeremy Bruce –Time and money well spent!

My 18 yr. old son Jordan has been a student of Jeremy’s for the past year. In that time he has learned more than I thought was possible & his vocal range, tone & control have improved dramatically! Jordan also sings & plays guitar in a band & Jeremy has been a huge help with that as well, giving him input on his original songs & encouraging him in every way.

We recently compared video footage from a show he performed with his band earlier this month to footage from just over a year ago & the improvement in his vocals is incredible. We can only attribute that to his lessons with Jeremy. Just last week Jordan landed the lead role of Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors at Desert Vista High School, thanks Jeremy for helping him get there!!!

11 year old SLS student Bailey Jasper will compete in the World Championships of Performing Arts this summer in Hollywood!

WCOPA is slated as the “Talent Olympics,” and it’s an honor to be selected to represent the USA. Over 40 countries will be present with teams ready to compete in all aspects of performing arts. Seth Riggs himself has attended the competition and said,” I am impressed with the superb level of talent.”

Bailey has been performing in front of audiences since she was five years old. She said she feels “Incredibly fortunate to have Jeremy Bruce as a vocal instructor.” Studying with him just over a year, she has made great progress in her lessons with Jeremy.

UPDATE: August 1 – Bailey Takes The Gold

11 year old student Bailey Jasper did well at the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood. She received a GOLD medal in the pop category for her version of “Pocketful of Sunshine.” She also received an Industry Award and received a BRONZE medal for an acting monologue she wrote herself.

She had a lot of positive feedback and several agents/producers talked with her specifically about Radio Disney.

I have been taking lessons with Jeremy for almost a year now. When I first started, I have to admit I was a little intimidated by the new singing sessions not knowing anything much about music except that I loved to sing. Going in was a bit nerve wrecking, but Jeremy knew that first session exactly where to start me at without making it overwhelming for a new singer to begin with. He has worked very hard and is very determined to see me excel to my highest ability. Some sessions have been harder than others, but I know you have to work for what you want.

To look back now and hear our sessions that were recorded when I first began is almost well funny… hearing myself practicing on those notes that I now don’t struggle with as much is great because of what an improvement I’ve made. It’s been really nice having close friends and family tell me how much of a positive difference in my voice they’ve noticed since starting the sessions. It’s a real good feeling to know I’m not just wasting my money for nothing. Thanks Jeremy for all your help and teachings. Thanks!

After taking vocal lessons at another studio for an entire year, we noticed our 13 yr. old son, Connor, was getting very hoarse every time he would sing for an extended time. (He was the lead singer for a rock band that were being hired to do several “gigs”) A friend referred us to Speech Level Singing and met Jeremy. Within two vocal sessions Jeremy recommended our son be checked for possible vocal cord damage. Sure enough, he had a small vocal cord nodule that had developed. We are so thankful that Jeremy’s keen ear caught his condition in the early stages. In just 4 months of working with Jeremy, Connor is well on his way to learning the proper way to sing so he can avoid future damage to his vocal cords. Thanks Jeremy!

Update: Connor saw the ENT today — 06.18.2008 — and his nodule is completely gone. Awesome!

If you are interested or know of anyone interested in taking voice lessons, I would recommend Jeremy Bruce. Jeremy came highly recommended by two different sources: my pastors, who are also singers and have several recorded CD’s, and a retired voice teacher who taught voice for over 15 years.

My daughter has been taking voice with Jeremy for almost 7 months and loves it! She loves Jeremy’s positive teaching style and looks forward to her lesson every week. My daughter has sung and performed with Greasepaint Youth Theater, Valley Youth Theater and The Phoenix Girls Chorus. It’s wonderful and reassuring to know I’ve made a wise investment in having Jeremy as my daughter’s voice instructor.
