"Audrey is a talented and gentle teacher. Uplift have taken our group from where we were comfortable (with many in the group who have hardly sung at all, except for the occasional, obligatory "happy birthday"!) into being a group who can now trust our voices and ability to create beautiful sound together.”

- Jess, Teacher and Improvisation Performer

"Uplift is brilliant and is able to get the most tentative singers to engage and overcome their fears and inhibitions. Audrey has a great voice which inspires

the students to exceed their expectations. We are incredibly fortunate to have her.”

- Gerry Josephson, Founder and Director of
