Melissa Spraggs
VP, Central Manitoba Choral Association
I would highly recommend Leanne as a choral clinician. Her focused style and strong vocal modeling was very effective. She transitioned from piece to piece seamlessly and her pace of instruction helped students to remain engaged all day. The quality of sound she was able to access from the singers was very mature; she knew just what to say to get the group of 30 singers to produce the sound of 60 singers!
Johanna Hildebrand
Conductor, Horizon
Leanne has a knack for deciphering what the singer needs in terms of sound production and vocal health. She considers the whole body; how to align posture, tongue placement and everything that leads to being a relaxed singer. I wouldn't hesitate to send my singers to work with Leanne, assured that they will leave with a richer tone, and a holistic approach to singing.

Interlake Youth Choir Chorister
Leanne is hard-working, intelligent, and a great conductor. She makes you work hard. It's worth it though! Leanne pushes you to the absolute best of your abilities and will phenomenally increase your knowledge of how to sing better.
Kendra Obach
Interlake Youth Choir Chairperson
Leanne was an excellent choice to conduct the Interlake Youth Choir 2019. These students only get together for one weekend and a day, so they need to build community, learn music and make magic happen very quickly.
Leanne truly brought these singers together as a choir. She used a wide variety of interactive teaching strategies, chose great repertoire, and facilitated community growth. Leanne’s kindness, technical skill, and creativity make her a positive and effective choral leader.
