“Ms. Dickson became my voice teacher through a recommendation by a Lone Star music faculty.  Though there were many similarities with my previous voice teachers, Marion emphasized the basics of singing.  She particularly emphasized proper breathing, proper voice projections, proper singing postures, following musical notes and counts, and most importantly proper diction.  Marion taught me how to use the IPAA, made me study voice-related books, and had us do multiple recitals and masterclasses. The latter gave me confidence in public performances.

Less than a year lessons with Ms. Dickson had an immediate positive impact in my singing.  One of the most dramatic results was finishing First Place in the 2008 Greater Houston NATS Classical Singing competition (Intermediate Adult Division) and as a Second Place Winner in the same classical singing competition.”
