“I took lessons with Tracey back when I was in high school! To this day I still use the knowledge she taught me and the songs she showed me at auditions. Not only is her vast repertoire of songs unfathomable, but she also picks songs she's knows will make you stand out and match your voice style perfectly. I've worked at theaters throughout the Chicagoland area including Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Paramount Theatre in Aurora, and Writers Theatre to name a few....And you can bet I used a songs Tracey picked for me to land those roles!”

"I studied voice with Tracey Ford for 5 years, and grew into a well-rounded musician as a result. Not only did I learn solid vocal technique, but I entered college with valuable musicianship and audition skills. As a freshman in college, I have already had the opportunity to perform the role of Aeneas in the opera Dido and Aeneas. The challenging repertoire I studied with Tracey really helped to prepare me for this experience."
