TESTIMONIALS

“Rashida Ashley participated in my summer vocal institute for the last two summers. She has a very pretty, highly functional soprano voice. Her voice is clear in timbre and agility. She has good intonation and range. As a singer she has limitless potential. I was impressed with her ability to take instruction and learn new process skills as a classical singer and she exhibits her compassion for the music and all of its aspects. Rashida is a very good colleague, has a very strong work ethic and is academically excellent. It is my pleasure to support her in all her endeavors going forward. Please contact me if further information is needed."
