Comment:
I learned more in my first voice lesson with Dr. Scifres than I did in a year and a half in other professors' studios. He instilled a great knowledge of technique and vocal pedagogy into our studio, and has built the confidence of hundreds of young singers in his career. The professors whose studio I left couldn't believe my improvement .

Great guy, more than willing to help out or explain stuff. His methods are totally practical-application based, so he likes to give situations and have you figure them out.

Best voice teacher at IWU. Hands down. Just ask his students, who love him (you can't say that about most studios).

Dr. Scrifres is one of the best things to happen to IWU. He has a way of inspring his students to create music they never knew they had. I have grown ten fold since I came to his studio. His is nice but real and has no problem laying you out if he knows your not working. Invested in school and kids

I have grown so much under his guidance ~ he will pick out and help you fix problem areas in a way that is encouraging and not at all insulting, and is truly concerned about his students' growth vocally and artistically. I feel lucky to be in his studio.
