Ana G Vocal Studio
Sacramento, CA 95742
(916) 638-5072

Ana G takes the intimate approach with her students. Her style of coaching is not for the masses as she is extremely selective with whom she decides to bring on as a new student. One of the things that sets Ana apart from the larger studios is her desire to build a relationship with her students. Ana also believes in helping her students in the development of their music careers through marketing and long-term commitment. One thing certainly stressed by this coach is she does not teach people how to sing, but rather she develops and builds on raw talent.

A past recipient of the Jolsen Award, Susan takes people who really want to sing and helps train their ears as well as their voices. Susan keeps a professional studio at her private residence. While larger freestanding studios may have owners dedicated to their craft, Susan feels sometimes the large number of employees needed to run those facilities may not share the same level of passion or experience for singing. This can sometimes water down the experience.
