"The evening's one unmitigated delight was vocalist Julia Norton who could trill, hum, scat, throat-sing and do multi-phonics with the best of them. Her jazz improvisation on Copeland's 'Appalachian Spring' was simply superb."
"Julia is a skillful & compassionate teacher, who has a profound understanding of both solid vocal technique and the emotional and psychological dimensions of singing. Through our work together, I am learning to awaken and joyfully embrace my authentic singing voice."
