Professional singer-songwriter with 20 years experience teaches voice, songwriting, music production, and piano in Oakland and Los Angeles, CA

I have been working with Arrica for a few years now. She is beyond patient! My singing ability has improved immensely, both in terms of pitch and tone. Arrica's approach is in accordance with my goals, constantly fusing techniques and drills with practical usage relative to my actual vocal needs. As a back up singer and occasional lead singer, I now have the confidence to sing harmonies and main vocals at any time. She's also very adept at songwriting. She's helped me flesh out ideas when I've been stumped as to how to proceed with various songs I've been working on. Arrica is 100% professional and I would recommend her to anyone, child or adult, at any level that wants to get better at singing or songwriting.

Arrica has been such a wonderful teacher for my 14-year-old daughter. (She was 9 when she started with Arrica.) Our girl has a lot of raw talent but needed some good instruction that wasn't too formal. Arrica is just the right blend of traditional singing technique, fun, and creativity. We love her!

I learned so much from my lessons with Arrica! It was a great balance of learning the basics/warmups I needed to build a better foundation -- and practicing and learning a song I wanted to focus on. Arrica was supportive, encouraging, and very helpful and specific in her feedback.

Arrica is a wonderful singing coach! My nine-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoys their time together each week. Arrica always follows my daughter’s lead and gauges her interest in particular songs while also giving input and suggestions that further her progress and challenge her at just the right level. Her kind and patient demeanor has also helped my daughter, whom is somewhat shy, feel completely at ease. I can see through my daughter’s lesson with Arrica that she is very passionate and committed to her work. I would whole-heartedly recommend Arrica to anyone whom is looking for an amazing singing coach.

Enjoying my lessons with Arrica. I am learning something new every week, and giving really helpful suggestions for improving my vocal skills. She is a pleasure to work with.

Arrica has taught me so much in a short time. I love working with her. She is an excellent teacher!
