Here's what  Vocal Aerobics' students have to say:
"Unlike other voice teachers that I have had, there was nothing generic about the training I received from Vocal Aerobics. Sonya tailored her lesson plan to address my strengths and weaknesses and to achieve my specific goals. She drove me HARD each week to push my limits to a place where I never thought I could go!

"Sonya Merritt's vocal clinic was awesome! Our Fresh Fire Worship Conference guest made many comments on how challenging and inspiring the teachings and vocal exercises were.  Sonya has a unique way of making practical voice training a vital part of a spiritual foundation for all Worship Singers!  We will be bringing her back!!!"

"When I began taking vocal aerobics, I was not interested in major solos, but wanted to improve my vocal skills for use in worship situations where I would lead music, as I am a guitar player.  Sonya Merritt has made a major transformation in that I am now confident when I play and sing at the prayer house.  The improvement in the sound of my vocal recordings before and after is amazing.  I have had voice lessons two times before but Sonya has helped me more than any other teacher and she is very professional in how she conducts her business."

"My experience in voice lessons with Mrs. Sonya Merritt was a great one! She taught me so much about taking care of my voice while teaching me ways that I could make my voice sound better. I learned so much from her and would recommend her to any singer! She is wonderful!"

"I attended Sonya Merritt's Vocal Aerobics session at a Fresh Fire worship conference in Panama City, FL.  It was an awesome experience!  I thank God for the passion he has given her to help others understand the process of being able to sing correctly.  I have always wanted to sing and her class gave me more confidence because she not only taught us but also directed us to participate in the vocal exercises.  Thank you so much for allowing God to use you to help so many people fulfill their desire to sing!"
