What my students have to say:

Rickie Gole took my voice from “timid girl” to “brave woman.” She prepared me for auditions and performances alike, and always gave me the confidence and strength I needed to succeed. Thanks, Rickie!!

Rickie Gole is a remarkable talent and resource. From my “Beaches” days through my adolescence and into adulthood, Rickie has been a constant source of inspiration and guidance. She is incredibly relevant as an instructor at every stage of life, inspiring young voices and honing more mature ones. Rickie’s wisdom goes far beyond her knowledge of voice and singing. She turns voice coaching into a science and an art, providing imagery and practical tips that stay with you long after you leave a session with her. I have been blessed to have Rickie in my life through countless auditions and “maintenance” of my voice, and I find myself returning to her and her lessons time and again for support and reassurance that I CAN sing! In a city full of impostors, Rickie is the real thing. A wondrous talent and a gifted instructor for all ages and styles of voice.
