"I arranged for five of my Cappella students to enroll in a specially-designed summer class in the International Chant Academy with Angela. The class was designed to meet the student where they were, ranging from beginning to advanced concepts. Angela hit this mark beautifully, expertly balancing the individual needs of each student, both musically and personally. She checks in to make sure that everyone is following and gently encourages students to go beyond their expectations and reservations. I highly recommend Angela for any of her acclaimed programs as well as for customized options! Angela is a gem!"
