"GLENDA HAS AN EXTRAORDINARY COMMITMENT TO HER STUDENTS AND ENSURES
THAT THEY ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL IN THEIR GIVEN DISCIPLINE."
"I studied Violin and Theory of Music with Glenda for eight years. Glenda's positive approach to achievement and learning achieves acute brain development and develops organisational and fine motor skills.
Glenda has an extraordinary commitment to her students and ensures that they achieve their full potential in their given discipline. Her love for and expertise in music inspired me over the years to obtain the highest levels possible for Violin & Theory of Music exams. Her approach to the art of teaching is disciplined and highly technical but also highlights the joy and fulfilment achieved through learning and performing music.
I highly recommend Glenda Young Music." Brydie

"GLENDA IS A PATIENT, METICULOUS AND CARING TEACHER ... I FOUND A FRIEND IN GLENDA."
"For eight years, Glenda tutored me in singing songs from different genres, including classical arias. During this period, I also completed with Distinction, Grades one and two Theory of Music which enhanced my understanding of the songs.
Glenda is a patient, meticulous and caring teacher who enabled me to become the best singer that I could be.
I am so pleased that I studied with Glenda as I learned the physiology of the voice and the effects of music and singing on the development of the brain. I feel that my life has been enriched and that I found a friend in Glenda."

"GLENDA'S FANTASTIC MENTORING & TUTELAGE ... MUSIC LESSONS ARE THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEEK."
"I came to Glenda Young because of my love for Singing, but I needed to understand the written score, so I commenced Piano & Music Theory lessons as well.
Thanks to Glenda's fantastic mentoring & tutelage, I am accomplished in Grade one & two Theory. Glenda accompanies my songs on Piano and explains all the nuances of singing - breathing, pronunciation, note values and tone production. Glenda prepares me for my public performances.
Lessons are always happy times. Glenda continues to exceed my expectations - I highly recommend her. Music lessons are the highlight of my week, except when I perform in a Concert. In Sydney in 2016, I sang in the three day workshop and performed Handel's Oratorio 'Israel in Egypt' with ChorusOz." Janelle

"GLENDA PROVED TO BE A TRULY PROFESSIONAL TEACHER WHO TOOK AN INTEREST IN HER STUDENT’S WELFARE BEYOND THEIR MUSIC TRAINING."
"At 63, I decided that I would like to learn Singing. To my pleasant surprise, Glenda accepted me as her student and I found her to be very tolerant and understanding. Glenda gave me a vision of music as a whole rather than just singing. Glenda’s Theory teaching was very clear and straight forward.
Glenda proved to be a truly professional teacher who took an interest in her student’s welfare beyond their music training.
I thoroughly recommend Glenda to anyone, who wishes to explore their musical talents. Unfortunately, after several years learning with Glenda, my caring responsibilities forced me to discontinue my studies but we have remained friends ever since."

"IN THE FIVE YEARS THAT I HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING TUTORED BY GLENDA, I FOUND HER TO BE AN EXCEPTIONAL TEACHER WITH A GIFT FOR BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN HER STUDENTS."
"I remember vividly my first Singing lesson and how nervous I was singing in front of someone on my own for the first time. Glenda quickly put me at ease and encouraged me at each lesson, to become more and more confident in my natural ability and to strive for improvement on each occasion.
Glenda also instilled in me the importance of learning Music Theory to assist me in my musical journey, as it had been a long time since I had had any formal training in this area. I quickly excelled at this, under the expert tuition of Glenda.
Glenda’s commitment is exemplary. Her kind, calm and reassuring manner was exactly what I needed in a teacher to ensure that I grew in confidence and self-belief."

"THANK YOU GLENDA FOR HELPING ME EXPLORE MY MUSIC CREATIVITY AND FOR SUPPORTING AND ASSISTING MY SINGING PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS IN TOWNSVILLE."
"I very much enjoyed my three years of Singing lessons with Glenda before moving to Brisbane. Glenda gave me practical lessons to train my voice and my ears and to control my breathing. I started out singing popular songs and later on gained an appreciation for classical Italian songs, learning correct vowel and consonant pronunciation.
I also completed the Grade 1 & 2 Music Theory exams achieving A+. As a singer I realised very early from Glenda the value of learning Music Theory to understand exactly what I was singing.
I highly recommend anyone seeking to learn music to look no further than Glenda Young.
My friends and I have great memories and recordings of these which included singing at the Townsville Crocs Basketball Stadium." Dion
