“Marsha Matthai is the kind of vocalist who sings with both fire and finesse—rooted in real-life experience and unapologetically authentic. She brings that same energy into her teaching, guiding singers not just to sound good, but to mean what they sing. With Marsha, you're not just getting vocal technique—you’re getting the truth, the tools, and the heart it takes to thrive in this industry.”

“Marsha has been my vocal coach for five years, and I couldn’t ask for a better mentor. Her loving spirit and creative teaching skills keep lessons both wildly informative and incredibly engaging. As a newer singer with low confidence, Marsha found a way of taking the pressure off of lessons and helping me find comfort in my voice in a way no other music director ever has. Even though she’s beyond qualified and experienced, she is constantly learning from all angles and bringing together science, anatomy, and even psychology to enhance her students’ performances as well as her own. My favorite thing about her coaching style is truly that to have her as a vocal coach is to have her as a friend, a rare and beautiful trait she subconsciously exudes into the world every day.”

“This is how I feel about my Marsha….

She has her own style, her own voice, her own vocals. Whatever the song is…she becomes exactly what the mood of the song calls for. She reminds me of no one, but can match everyone. She’s everything from Dolly to Whitney to me….

Marsha to me is in my Top Five of female vocalists of ALL TIME !!!!!!  

Every time she has been on stage w/ me singing or in the studio singing background vocals on songs I’ve recorded, I know it’s gonna be a special thing no matter what…her being there on stage or on the recording….just makes it better.

She has the vocals to grab the attention and take over a room, stage etc.

On and off stage…a star that always shines..

So proud to call her my friend and even more proud I’ve been able to work with her in and on my favorite genre….country damn music!!”

"While getting my undergrad degree at Belmont University, I had the privilege of being in Marsha's country vocal styles class. It was so refreshing to work with a teacher who had stellar knowledge, skill and raw talent. Beyond that, Marsha is a working pro, who understands the in's and out's of the current music industry landscape, and uses her experience to mentor young musicians (like myself). I can truthfully say I walked away from Marsha's class with an immense amount of knowledge of country music history and vocal styles, as well as a new energy and drive for my own career; she is a true inspiration."

“As a professional musician with a music degree myself, I have worked with many performers through the years. As a band leader and event band owner, I hire musicians frequently. Marsha Matthai is easily the stand out from literally hundreds of musicians I’ve hired through the years. Her on stage performance power is nothing short of phenomenal. Sometimes I’ve found academics can lack the on stage magic. And on the other hand, some star performers don’t have the ability to teach their craft. Marsha is a star on stage and off. Not only is she a force on the stage, but she’s also a phenomenal vocal coach who gives her all to her students and helps them grow. Not only can she teach it, she can do it…Which is truly a special combination not possessed by all musicians.”

“Marsha has been my vocal coach for three and a half years and has helped me grow in a multitude of ways. Not only is she a fantastic vocal coach, but she has helped increase my own personal strengths and confidence in myself as a performer. Her ability to connect with her students is unmatched and she is loved by all who know her. She is one of the people I look up to most as a singer and performer and I feel so grateful to study from her.”

“Working with Marsha for the last 20 years has been an absolute privilege and honor. Her energy and passion as a performer and vocalist are unmatched - every performance is infused with excellence, passion, and a deep connection to the music and audience. Beyond the stage, Marsha is an inspiring teacher, guiding students with patience, extraordinary expertise, and an infectious enthusiasm for the craft. Her ability to uplift, motivate, and bring out the best in others makes her an invaluable asset to any production, studio or classroom. She’s truly a remarkable talent and educator!”

"Marsha is incredibly knowledgeable and has a unique enthusiasm for teaching. She takes a personalized approach by creating lesson plans tailored to specific goals. She is eager to see her students succeed! Her passion for the craft makes me excited to sing and inspires me to get better. Most importantly, she cares for her students not just as singers, but as people."

“Marsha was one of the most personal and attentive vocal coaches that I’ve ever had. Her knowledge of voice anatomy and her openness to various different technique styles made my lessons so much more effective! Knowing how to use my voice in this technical way has improved my voice health and my results so much! Above all, she is such a kind person and is a friend in the vocal studio.”

“Working with Marsha helped me grow as both an artist and a person. She is one of the most kind and compassionate people who exemplifies what it means to be a good person. She is confident in her abilities and encouraging in a way that makes you feel confident in yourself. I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Marsha and learn the skills I now use daily!”

“Marsha helped me discover elements of my voice I didn’t know existed. She always pushes me to be the best singer I can be while also fostering a safe environment to experiment with technique! She is the reason I enjoy singing!”

“Marsha is a joy to work with. From day one she has met me where I am and saw my potential before I could. She is an encouraging light on any bad day and an incredible vocal coach to work with. Every person who taken lessons from her has raved about her. She is an indescribable vocalist and incredible friend.”

“Marsha is such an incredible vocal coach. She is so passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about her craft. The thing that sets her apart, however, is how much she cares for her students. She is so good at getting to know them, learning their strengths, and guiding them on how they should grow. I have learned so much from Marsha in the short time I’ve worked with her, she has helped me grow so much vocally and as a person!”

“I have grown tremendously thanks to Marsha. I now understand my voice in a way I haven’t before. I feel more comfortable and less tense, and best of all, I feel inspired. For a long time, I felt quite stagnant in my vocal abilities, but now I feel I am actually improving and can look forward to getting better and better. These lessons have given me new hope regarding one of my biggest passions, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

“Marsha is one of the best vocal coaches I’ve ever had. She perfectly balances constructive criticism with genuine support. She’s well versed in her craft with the talent to back it up. It’s clear she cares for each of her students and I look forward to every lesson.”

“I had taken voice lessons for 4 years before I started taking voice lessons with Marsha. As soon as I met with Marsha, she began to push me. She used a variety of out-of-the-box vocal exercises and warm ups to expand my range and my repertoire of vocal techniques. Marsha has not only pushed me to a better vocalist but also to a better musician. The confidence I grew allowed me to be more creative and experiment with new ideas.”

“Marsha Matthai is the perfect combination of intellect and empathy. She has taken the time to master her craft while also creating a safe space for her students. Her God-given talent is just the icing on the cake. If you want someone who will push you to become the best version of yourself within your vocal capabilities and everyday life, then Marsha is just what you need.”
