Believing that the best teacher is also the best student, Jill Jaxx has studied with some of Los Angeles’ best voice teachers. Her own ability, inherited from her musician/physician and nurse parents, to intuitively diagnose blocks to performing and singing, have earned her the title “Queen of the Quick Fix.”
For more than ten years Jill Jaxx has provided students with her wealth of knowledge and performing experience, creating breakthroughs in:
- Singing technique: strength and agility
- Correct breath support
- Emotionally opening and connecting to the song
- Overcoming stage fright
- Inspiring yourself as a singer and performer
"Jill showed us the secret to breathing correctly, and increased all of our vocal ranges as well as our self-confidence. One alto now even sings soprano! We loved studying with her!”
Lead vocalist, Zhena Folk Choir
"Jill has the ability to convey ideas so that even five-year-olds can understand them. Now over 100 of our young singers know how to sing correctly. And boy can you hear it in our performances! Best of all, she makes learning fun!”
Director, American Youth Express (Performing Group)
"Jill is a magical teacher who is able to communicate, educate, and bring out the best in singers. She created special musical programs for our school that were highly acclaimed and led to our doing a recording for an off Broadway musical!”
Director, Chrysalis School For Girls
"Jill worked nothing short of miracles at our song and dance camp. Teaching younger singers to breathe properly and connect their head and chest voices can take months or even years. Jill had them doing it after one lesson.”
Artistic Director, San Pedro City Ballet
"Jill, like a musical surgeon, was able to instantly diagnose and correct our group’s bad singing habits—ones that were really hurting our performances. And now we’ve never sounded better!”
Lead singer, Rhythm Angels
