My daughter has been taking singing lessons with Courtney both in-person and on Skype for the past 5 years. I was unsure if a remote set-up would be effective for music lessons, but it is absolutely just as effective as in-person lessons. Courtney is patient, nurturing and really knows how to listen and build both adult and teen students’ confidence. Her creativity really shines through in her teaching method/style as she finds the just right balance for each student. My daughter has thrived under Courtney’s teaching!

AMAZING! I’ve been working with Courtney for 3 months now and I’ve never felt stronger vocally. Courtney is so fun and pleasant to work with. I came to her having never taken a voice lesson before, yet I always feel so comfortable in my lessons with her and can really see/hear my growth. Thank you, Courtney, for believing in me and pushing me to be the best!

The music business is always changing and Seadragon Songhouse is a place where you can get cutting edge instruction on vocal function, as well as help to find your unique voice as a songwriter. Get there!

Courtney is an amazing teacher, kind, compassionate, and caring. She is a skilled musician and singer, and brings a wealth of knowledge to the table to help reach any musical goals you might have. Having Courtney on your “team” is a big win! You will love her immediately and she will work with you in a non-intimidating way. I highly recommend this lovely and skilled music instructor and coach.

We’ve had such a great experience with Courtney. She is kind and encouraging and brought out a confidence in our daughter that didn’t exist before. This was our first time with individual singing lessons and we can’t say enough about how positive it was! We would highly recommend.

Courtney is a great voice teacher! As a theatre artist who has always shied away from singing, she has not only given me to the tools to rock a musical theatre audition, but also the confidence. She truly listens to your needs no matter your skill set or preferred genre of song. I have grown exponentially since I started learning from her.

If you want to find a particular voice of yours that is lost, or strengthen one you have, look no further than Courtney Cutchins and her Seadragon Songhouse studio and family to reach your goals. Courtney is a kind, caring, intelligent, experienced soul in this world who will be your partner in strengthening or discovering your voice in your life. Her studio is warm and inviting, and her smile, when you are frustrated with yourself, lets you know that the Songhouse is a place of non-judgement, love and support. If you ever have the chance to visit Courtney and her Songhouse, be sure to ask for an introduction to her partner in crime… Scales!

Courtney is an outstanding teacher. Her techniques helped take my son’s vocal skills to the next level. She coached him through auditions and performances, always inspiring his creativity and individuality. She is extremely supportive and truly cares about her students.

As a beginner, I have very much appreciated Courtney’s ability to encourage me as well as create a comfortable environment. She’s also been excellent at tailoring lessons to fit my goals and learning style, even when the goal is as simple as “be a better singer.”

Coach Courtney is some sort of unicorn-angel-musician-songwriting-vocalist, and with just one lesson in, we’re thrilled at [her] professionalism, style, grace and sheer talent. Her space and energy is warm and inviting, putting me and my 7 year old at ease instantly. If you’re looking for a pro to help nurture your kid’s voice (adults, too) and musicality, in an environment that will nurture creativity, Seadragon Songhouse is where you want to land. I’m already blown away.

Courtney’s education, experience and teaching ability is second to none. I have been a student for a little over 2 months and the knowledge I have acquired and the improvement in my voice is something I never thought possible. In addition to voice, we have been exploring songwriting, which I have always wanted to do. Thanks to Courtney, I have written my first song with chord structures, hook and lyrics. Her teaching style is like nothing I have ever experienced. Easy nudging and gentle encouragement – and when you leave your lesson, its like “wow!” Who knew? I cannot say enough great things about Courtney. In my opinion, she is the best!

Courtney, of Seadragon Songhouse, has a fabulous ability to reach your child where he/she is and help him/her move towards a goal! In my child’s case, his ability to express and articulate his feelings was limited because his voice and breathing left his communication flat. Courtney was able to evaluate what was happening in his situation and design exercises to help him see improvement. Her genius, though, was in getting to know my child well enough to design exercises that he was willing and even excited about doing because they were tailored to his interests. After the first session, he was hooked and happily continued his lessons seeing improvement each time. I would highly recommend Courtney and Seadragon Songhouse!

Courtney is an exceptional guide, mentor, and pedagogue. Each lesson – I grow mountains. She is diagnostic, prescriptive and structured – in just the right the measure. Courtney’s beautiful spirit puts one completely at ease.  If inhibited in anyway – no worries – you will forget you ever were. My talented friend who referred me to Courtney said, “She is the best – I love her!” – which about sums it up. Importantly, Courtney is completely dependable and her follow up notes are thorough and a good keepsake. Without hesitation, I give Seadragon Songhouse the highest possible recommendation.

I truly thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Courtney this summer. As a newbie to voice lessons, she made the experience so easy and welcoming, and I even wrote my own song for the first time ever! After every session I felt so refreshed, inspired & grateful to use and strengthen my voice. I did more than I thought I ever could. The whole experience was very beautiful and joyful. I would highly recommend Courtney for your voice lesson needs. She’s so gifted and kind!

I started working with Courtney and my voice has improved significantly. She is a consummate professional and very encouraging. She is always prompt, shares practice notes which are very helpful, and her expertise and teaching ability shine during each session we have. Highly recommended!

Courtney’s credentials, her performance experience and her emotional intelligence allows her to support and guide my creative spirit into new areas of experience with a sure hand. After having had to withdraw from 2 choruses due to Covid 19, I started working with Courtney virtually in September 2020 badly in need of song therapy. Her teaching style fit perfectly. She encouraged me to choose my own songs, introduced me to iRealPro and I recovered rapidly! A couple months later I had written a song, and sung an impromptu melody which proved to myself that even I could do that. To support my secret wish to be able to arrange pop songs for barbershop choruses, I asked for some music theory and -voila! – the chord confusion started to clear up and the possibility of arranging became a real possibility. Courtney owns the jewels of patience and kindness with no disparaging words, EVER. I absolutely trust her.
