I originally started singing from the center as a book and audio CD program. Although the program was warmly received, it’s much easier to learn how to sing with a visual explanation, and so one day I mentioned to my husband that I’d like to make a DVD some day, he said ‘Well, let’s do it’, and so we did! It grew into an online program from a friend’s suggestion, and the rest is history, so to speak. The Level 1 clips were created in San Francisco and San Diego, and a big shout out to everyone who helped us on those shoots (links). Level 2 was filmed a few years later, and by this time we’d worked out a way to film it in my studio in San Francisco, which is where the upcoming podcasts and one on one lessons will also be filmed.

"I've had and am continuing to have an amazing experience with Sue! I was terrified to sing when I started with her, and Sue's warm presence, encouragement, and supportiveness have helped my shyness so much. Sue is a wonderful teacher because she understands not only the mechanics of singing, but she intuitively knows how to work with different people to help them learn better." I'm so glad to have found a teacher who is knowledgeable about singing and also makes singing fun! Not to mention, she has a great spiritual perspective on life and singing, which makes the lessons much richer for me!"
"I LOVE Sue, on so many levels. I had been told I was tone deaf by a hack when I was 12 and I never again attempted to sing outloud, in front of others. I have always had a burning desire to sing and finally decided I'd try working with a coach. Sue cam highly recommended and I have always felt safe working with Sue. I am progressing in the development of my voice, It is really exciting. Sue has a lot of colorful metephor and personal experience to share as I continue working on my voice and confidence. Thanks Sue!!"
"Sue is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G voice teacher!! In the four years that I have been working with Sue, I continue to experience and witness my own voice and creative process open up, struggle with my personal doubts and demons, flourish and transform me not only as a singer but as a human being. Sue's teaching style is chock full of patience, encouragement and humor which are all traits of a great teacher. However, in addition to these traits, there is one major highlight in working with Sue, it is simply her ability to be present with me in ALL of the stages of my singing. She is unconditionally supportive and non-judgmental...this may be the "magic" ingredient. Sue's intuitiveness combined with her technical knowledge of singing are crucial elements in learning the craft. Lastly, at the end of each session, I am always filled with excitement with all the potentials uncovered; and my thus my spirits are lifted. I thank the stars above for crossing my path with Sue : )) If you are ready to find your voice, then please join Singing From The Center with Sue."
"I stumbled across your tutorials while looking for some drum lessons. I had to check out what you posted because I have been intrigued with singing as well. I was immediately impressed with your presentation in the Introduction and watched more. You definitely are a gifted teacher. Not all musicians can teach. After that I went to your SFTC website and learned more about what you had to offer and your name and had to Google and found some of your music. I really like "The Dancer"! Bravo."
"God bless all your pursuits. Keep doing what you are doing. You have much to offer."
