“One of the very best decisions my husband and I ever made for our daughter was when we enrolled her in voice lessons with Laurie. At the time, she was a freshman in high school. She loved to sing at home, but had never had any kind of training. We were looking for a way for her to develop her God-given talent, and for a fun way for her to spend her free time. She's now a senior, and has grown into a beautiful vocalist. Because of Laurie, she's had the opportunity to sing in several venues, as well as being lead female vocalist in a local teen band. She will soon graduate, and will be minoring in music (voice). Because of the confidence and training she's gained during her time at Vocal Edge, we are excited to see her continue down this musical path. Thank you for everything you've done to guide and prepare her, Laurie!”

“Laurie Hayes Winckel, my voice teacher, has been one of the strongest and most positive influences on my voice. Not only has she taught me technique, but she's taught me to believe that with enough practice, enough dedication, and most of all, enough soul, I can sing my heart out for the rest of my life. She always believed I could sing, even when I thought my voice was a disaster. She creates a healthy, balanced sound, but in doing that, she creates a healthy, balanced mind. I highly recommend her as a teacher, mentor, motivator, and friend.”

“When I decided to learn to sing properly so as not to damage my voice, I diligently sought out vocal coaches in the greater Austin area for a full year. I am truly blessed to have found Laurie Winckel and Vocal Edge Studio. Laurie's experience and natural gift in teaching and coaching is amazing! In a little over a year of lessons, she has taught and coached me to a level of singing far beyond my expectations.”

“My daughter, Gabi, started taking lessons with Laurie when she was 7. She was shy, had terrible stage fright, and tried singing like the artists she listened to on Disney. Since working with Laurie, she's found her own voice, her confidence, and no longer has stage fright. Being part of Vocal Edge Studio has given Gabi the opportunity to perform at various venues and really challenged her to grow musically.”

“Kaitlyn can walk into the studio having difficulty with a song and within 5–10 minutes Laurie has helped her work through it making it possible for Kaitlyn to sing it with ease. In a year's time we've seen an increase in her vocal range and style as well as stamina and strength, making it possible for Kat to perform without experiencing fatigue. Laurie is very good at giving just the right amount of encouragement.”

“When I started taking lessons my main goal was just to learn enough to keep from hurting my voice when I led songs at church. Laurie unlocked a talent I never knew nor dreamed I'd have. She is patient, persistent, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. My wife and one of my daughters now take lessons with her after seeing how much I enjoy it. You will NOT go wrong choosing Laurie as your voice instructor.”

“Laurie is a fantastic teacher and full of passion for her craft! It’s been amazing to watch our daughter’s confidence and talent blossom under her direction!”

“My daughter has been going to Laurie for years. My daughter has made so much progress with her singing since she began her lessons with Laurie. I highly recommend Laurie Winckel — she is experienced, knowledgeable, supportive and cares about her students.”

“A message Laurie received after PCG Bootcamp Nashville: 'I LOVED listening to you coach kids who appeared to have never had lessons before. To listen to the changes they were able to make in a matter of minutes with your teaching was astonishing!'”

“I have seen a huge change in just 3 lessons!!! She is kinda a miracle worker!!! You will get so much even in one session with her. She is diligent about keeping us doing work the whole time and respects our time. I just feel so supported!”
