"Just when I thought Karen's Singing in Tune book couldn't be any better!"
"Just when I thought Karen's Singing in Tune book couldn't be any better! I have read and utilized many of the exercises from Karen's first edition of this professional and authentic book. I am a seasoned, trained vocalist and music teacher. I love Karen's positive mindset, the detailed yet simple-to-understand lessons and exercises. The quotes are so inspiring. For every point made, there is a reason WHY it's important. The 2nd edition of her book is even better than the first incarnation, if that's possible."

Meet Bill Harris
Bill Harris had one lifelong dream—to become a professional singer. Even after retiring in his 60s, he refused to give up on that dream. The challenge? After 12 years, six voice coaches, and countless hours of practice, he still couldn't even sing half of "Happy Birthday" in tune.
Everything changed when Bill discovered my teaching method in 2021. Within just two lessons, he was finally singing in tune. With consistent practice and the right guidance, he transformed his voice and, in less than nine months, landed his first professional singing gig with a band.
Bill didn't stop there. He continued developing his skills, eventually surpassing my own record by earning eight encores in a single performance. He even performed at the Houston House of Blues—an incredible achievement for someone who once believed singing simply wasn't possible.
Bill's journey proves that with the right training, dedication, and proven methods, remarkable vocal transformation is possible at any age.
He even sang at the Houston House of Blues! AMAZING!

5 More Case Studies
Tejas - 7 Years Old
It took him over 4 weeks of lessons to learn Happy Birthday and the Alphabet Song.
3.5 months later, he learned 17 songs AND sang a solo for an audience at his K-12 school - and wowed them!
He had all the confidence of a rock star, and even ad-libbed!
Natalia Lagoons - pianist and composer in her 20s.
Crippled by stage fright and pitch issues, she only allowed herself to sing in the shower.
4 months after working with me, she sang an original song and Alicia Key’s #1 hit “I Ain’t Got You” for a packed theater!
7 years later, she is a successful singer/songwriter and just co-wrote an opera!
Sebastion Malkavage - high school student.
Sebastian came to me struggling with singing flat and straining on his high notes.
Until his senior year of high school, he had only focused on sports.
He only had 1 semester of choir, had been in 2 musicals, and had ZERO dance experience.
I helped him with online lessons to improve his singing, acting, and dancing.
Yet, his goal was to get a part in a huge production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Incredibly, Sebastian got a juicy supporting role, and beat out many experienced adult men.
George Bier - software engineer in his 40s.
Couldn’t sing even 1 note of Happy Birthday in tune.
It took him 2-3 months of working with me to learn to sing on pitch.
1 year later, he sang Cole Porter’s jazz standard, “I Get a Kick Out of You” and did a great job!
3 years of lessons and 20 years later, he won a cruise ship “Karaoke Superstar” contest!
Edmund Mohlathe - student in his 20s.
Frustrated with zero results after 5 voice coaches, he begged for a scholarship, and I decided to help him.
After 5 free 1-hour voice lessons, he went on to sing with South African celebrities, for award shows, and even in front of the President of South Africa.
14 years later, with more training, Edmond won a recording contract for a gospel single as a 12th place winner of the South African Gospel Superstars show.
Last I heard, he was pursuing an opportunity to perform for 6 months in Turkey!

Did you know?
Did you know that in a 2019 study, 70.8% of voice teachers with bachelors degrees - and 82.4% of voice teachers with some graduate school - preferred not to work with a student who has poor pitch?
It's easy to see why.
Another study showed that top traditional voice instruction books had ZERO to 5 pages, at most, dedicated to singing on pitch.
So most of us are left to figure it out on our own.
I did, the long way.
I spent over $100,000 on voice education and three decades exploring 40+ healing modalities to get my own voice back after 13 car accidents and 7 injuries.
Singing in Tune brings what I learned into one practical guide, so you can help students find the pitch without spending decades piecing it together yourself. It’s the most complete pitch resource I’ve found in 37 years of research.
It works for students who:
Have never sung scales
Don’t read music
Have tried other teachers or YouTube without results
(As long as they have at least partial hearing.)
That’s why I’m excited to be sharing this OFFER with you today.
