“I signed my daughter, Satori, up for privates with Orna after noticing how much she was developing musically from the group classes that Orna taught at West Coast Dance. She gave my daughter confidence in her voice and inspired her to sing like a “singer,” not like a “dancer” who sings. Orna is a kind, patient, and nurturing teacher and I am happy to be working with her again as a vocal coach for my students at Triple Talent.” - Neisha Folkes - Triple Talent Musical Theater, Artistic Director

“When my young son began piano lessons with Orna many years ago, it inspired me to take up an old love; singing. My lessons with Orna were fun and helpful and let me express the true joy and happiness I feel when I sing. Orna is highly experienced in music and just one of the loveliest people you could ever wish to meet. The kids loved her and so do I.” - Hilleri Merritt
