"...dead-on surety of pitch and attractive tone. This was even while delivering some swooping and percussive vocal affects and performing with nontraditional accompaniments."

"Sonya is amazing!! She is not only an insanely talented musician, she is an outstanding and thoughtful teacher which is a rare mix in the music world. In addition to taking voice lessons from her, I have seen and worked with her in some of her composition workshops and she is an equally amazing composer/teacher for all ages. I could not recommend her more for students and adults of all ages!"
