Life is a Musical - Learn the art of Musical Theatre acting & singing

Deva is a fantastic vocal teacher and has been very supportive of my teenage daughter in her theatre endeavours. Not only is Deva very talented and knowledgeable about musical theatre, she is a great listener and knows how to communicate with her students to build a strong bond of trust and understanding!

I highly recommend Deva, she is knowledgeable and really cares about her students.
My daughter has been taking weekly virtual singing lessons with Deva for over two years. Deva is kind, knowledgeable, and really understands how to keep her students engaged. She is flexible and adaptable with learning styles and scheduling challenges. My daughter looks forward to her classes and finds them both challenging and fun.

Deva is an incredible vocal teacher. She is patient, kind, and funny, which makes the learning environment something you look forward to. Beyond that, she is incredibly gifted in music and knows how to support and challenge her students so they see improvements in their vocal performance, and so they do so in a healthy way to not damage their voice! As a musical theatre performer, I trust Deva to be prepared and get me in my best shape for auditions. She is equally phenomenal with children, due to her teaching background and I have seen firsthand the magic she can do with kid performers. Hands down- this is the vocal teacher for any adult or kid vocalist who wants to learn in a kind environment with a talented professional.

I know Deva from being my music teacher from JK and then starting private lessons with her for over 5 years. During this time, Deva has created a nurturing, safe space where I can take risks, be myself, and build a friendship with her. Throughout my lessons with Deva for singing, I have noticed a huge difference in my capabilities. Deva helped me realize that I was a mezzo-soprano and chose songs for me to sing that strengthened and pushed my voice to develop a larger range for myself. Listening to videos of myself singing years ago vs today, I have noticed a huge and improved difference in my range, confidence, and overall singing capabilities. I was able to reach high and low notes I never thought I could, through her coaching. Deva is the type of coach who truly invests and cares about your music career and will do everything she can to help you succeed. If you have the opportunity to work with Deva, it's an absolute must.

I met Deva in junior kindergarten when I was four years old. She was our class's music teacher, who over the years turned into my choir director at school, piano and singing teacher at home, and now being 21 all these years later, Deva has turned into family. She is talented, fun to be around, and an amazing teacher. My family would recommend her to anyone!

Deva is an empowering, strengths-based coach! She builds trust and confidence with both adults and young people, adapting to meet people where they are and help them identify goals for their learning. Deva infuses lessons with positivity and joy, balancing practice, feedback and teaching specific skills. I love working with Deva and so does my daughter!

I've known Deva for many years and I still consider her to be one of the best vocal teachers I've ever encountered. She develops an authentic relationship of trust with her students and helps them hone and develop their talent. Deva's students are confident, dynamic performers who take pride in their work, thanks to her efforts. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Deva is a very patient, knowledgeable, insightful, and kind teacher. Through her years of teaching and performing herself, she has gained so much wisdom that she is able to pass down to her students. Deva is very caring and is passionate about teaching and her students, and always supports and pushes them to grow. I have been able to apply what Deva has taught me in my performances and studies in a post-secondary musical theatre program, and would not be where I am today without her.

Deva is a fabulous teacher. She trained my son in vocals, I have seen her speaking in theater and she has a strong voice. I have also paid for sessions with Deva myself. Deva would be a wonderful teacher on any subject. She thinks outside the box and is very engaging.

I have worked in the classroom with Deva. She is an intelligent and passionate educator, who makes learning fun and engaging. Deva knows how to different instructions for all kinds of learners, and on many occasions I have seen her go above and beyond for her students. Any student would be lucky to have her as a teacher!
