What People Are Saying

 

“Anna is an amazing voice teacher and I couldn’t be more grateful for the two years I spent working with them. I had never had a private coach before, so I reached out after hearing great reviews from students and colleagues; Anna turned out to be just as incredible as I was told. They gave me the extra guidance I needed to become an even better musician and without their coaching, I do not think I would be attending the Eastman School of Music.”

“Anna and I have been working to improve my singing technique for several years. I have noticed a measurable improvement in my jaw/tongue tension, tone quality, and sight reading abilities–and my audition results confirm this! Anna’s lessons are the perfect mix of technical work, humor, and constructive criticism. Our lessons are an integral part of my musical development and self care.”

— Angela S.

“Studying with Anna has changed my life! Not only are they a wonderful teacher, they’re a great technician who can pinpoint and unlock your trouble areas. Go ahead and take your one-way trip to Diemer-town and discover your true vocal flavors. ”

— Tyri S.

“Anna’s greatest strengths as a teacher are their flexibility and adaptability of approach. They create a space that is neurodivergence-affirming and adapt skillfully to my needs as a non-linear ADHD learner. Their studio is a place where singers may feel brave to explore their vocal capabilities and supported to take the risk of trying something new. Anna’s teaching demands introspection, reflection, and inquisitiveness on my part, and this is where I’ve seen the greatest benefit to my practice - in how I guide others to think and talk about how they experience their voice.

As an SLP providing vocal rehabilitation, when I work with clients who have experienced an injury or problem with their voice, I know that they will be cared for by Anna as they move through the recovery process with their singing voice.”

— Clare H.

My voice lessons with Anna were more than simply productive, they gave me a sense and method of taking care of my instrument, of treating it with the utmost respect. They really prepared me to go into music school and be ready for the expectations that were placed upon me by my professors. My time with them was more than simply vocal lessons, I found a mentor for life, a friend. I gained my self-confidence in always knowing that I was valued and supported in my effort to grow my voice, but more importantly to grow who I am. Anna Diemer does nothing short of creating a safe and productive space for their students to thrive and grow immensely in who they are and who they want to become. This is needed more than ever in the world we live and work in every day. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to carry out my journey of working on my craft with!”

“Anna is ridiculously clever at helping you find your own voice. They’re fun, an acoustic guru, and never stop learning their craft.

Throughout my lifetime I’ve rarely encountered a more knowledgeable vocal instructor who can teach to my specific learning style. This is especially important as I age and my voice changes. I’ve studied with them for over two years and even though our lessons were mostly online due to the pandemic, I felt this was no barrier to my progress. Anna’s management skills are spot on as well, from time-management to responsivity.

The weekly exercises Anna chooses enable me to find the best acoustic places for my voice to make beautiful vowel sounds, vowel shapes, lines, and to improve diction and breathing. Together we defined and set semester goals for new repertoire and vocal progress.

Without question spending an hour with Anna has been a worthy investment I’ve made in myself and for my voice. I highly recommend you give them a call!”
