“I have little to no experience in voice, and she taught me how to sing, how the voice works, common issues in singing, and helped me to expand my vocal literature. This wide variety of knowledge is not only useful, but engaging and interesting.”

“Dr. Dapcic's unending encouragement and genuine care for my success has really increased my learning. She has a way of tuning into my boundaries and pushing them just enough for growth, but not so much as to overwhelm me. She constantly has new ideas and techniques that provide me with more tools for success each lesson.”

“I have learned so much from Dr. Dapcic's teaching! I have never seen a teacher more invested in her students. She has such a nurturing way of teaching and brings so much life to class. I genuinely have a desire to really work on my singing, which is something I felt like I could not do before.”

“Dr. Dapcic is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, kind, and inspiring. She helped make me feel comfortable taking risks in singing. She gives immediate feedback, offers great advice, and explains or demonstrates in multiple ways what she expects, which allows me to understand clearly and improve.”

“Samantha was able to figure out the way that I learn best and cater her teaching to what suited me. She constantly pushed my limits as a musician while also keeping in mind my vocal health.”

“I think she has a way with words. She knows how to explain things properly. If it doesn't make sense to me, she always finds another way to explain it in a way that helps tremendously.”

“Samantha made me think of song, how important words are in music, and expression in a new way.”

“She sets a positive attitude and explains things clearly with great enthusiasm.”

“Samantha builds great rapport with her students. I always felt comfortable coming to her with issues I had in my singing. She always knew how to help out.”

“Vocal exercises really helped my learning, because they brought to light the issues I was having. We would target the issue, and go about tying to fix them in specific ways.” 

“Dr. Dapcic has challenged me to become a better singer and performer. She has taught me the value of training myself to get rid of bad habits and to replace them with good habits; a skill that is not only useful in singing but in other aspects of life.”

“Voice lessons with Dr. Dapcic is both the hardest and the easiest my voice lessons have ever been: it is the hardest material and most work required, but easiest to understand and stay motivated.” 

“Samantha's ability to give feedback both in a literal/scientific way as well as a more figurative way allowed me to understand the physical "how" of singing as well as metaphorical and allegorical ideas to aid in the sound production and musicality.”

“I think one-on-one lessons with Samantha has helped me so much. She is hands-on and explains why she has me do certain exercises and she doesn't leave me out of that process. By telling me why she does what she does, it not only makes me a better singer, but will ultimately make me a better teacher.”

“Samantha is a wonderful voice teacher. She really pushed me and held me accountable, and always asked for my best in each lesson. Her teaching not only helped me become a better singer, but a better teacher as well.”

“Dr. Dapcic helped me to learn by assigning repertoire that would focus on specific challenges I have with my voice.”

“She is extremely knowledgeable of the voice and knows how to explain why the voice works the way it does. This helps a lot because I am a visual learner and she can show me.”
