Testimonials
SINGING
“...Collingwood comes closest to nailing the Broadway pizzazz in her big aria, cataloguing the horrors of Z-grade movies with flurries of coloratura and spurts of rumba frenzy.”
- William Dart, NZ Herald
TEACHING
“I started taking singing lessons with Kayla because I've always just wanted to sound half decent while singing. I was so bad and unconfident. With her training and exercises I've been able to hear myself properly sing for the first time in my life. Not just hear it but feel it as well. So patient and she adapts to your learning style. Highly recommend!”
- SUZ MORDSITH, STUDENT
CREATION/DESIGN
“I loved Kayla's unique sense of creativity which came through the content she created. Clear and efficient communication every step of the way to ensure we were on the same page with the final product.”
