I was recommended Carver Studio by a music store and it was one of the best recommendations I have ever received. Irene is an excellent vocal instructor and very patient even with a beginner like me. She and Noah are very musically literate and have many years experience in teaching and performing. They know their stuff! They are also two of the nicest, most interesting people you are likely to meet. If you are looking for quality lessons in Voice, Guitar and ukelele (and even some piano) do yourself a favor and come here. You'll be glad you did.

I took lessons from the Teachers at I.U. who taught Irene. I sang after that for a number of years. I came to Irene because I needed to strengthen my voice. It was almost a magical experience. You don't realize what all the little things she teaches are doing. Before you know it you are truly singing. My voice is stronger than ever and I continue to use what she's taught me, going back occasionally for a refresher. If I can't sing something I can go to her and she just makes it happen. Irene Carver is THE best voice teacher in the area---bar none. If you truly want to sing and maintain your voice than she is the person to see.

Irene Carver has taught my mom for years. Whenever I hear all the wonderful music that she makes it inspires me to sing! It also has inspired me to want to be a music teacher just like Irene. She can sing, play the piano, play the guitar and most important tell when you make a mistake so that you can learn to fix it! I will just warn you up front that Irene has perfect pitch and so if you are flat she will know. Until I grow up and become a teacher, take lessons from Irene! She is the high note on the scale!

I was asked why are you taking voice lessons at your age. To that I say, "It is never to late to improve one's self." I have always loved to sing but after I sang a few songs my throat would hurt and I would get hoarse . Then the Lord lead me to Irene Carver who taught me how to use my voice in the proper way. It made a world of difference. So, don't wait and live with regrets. Irene is a very understanding and patient teacher willing to help you with whatever you need!

After years of vocal training and performance, I was hit by an illness that damaged my vocal cords, leaving me with painful inflammation and very little singing voice. Singing worship to the Lord had been one of my sources of greatest joy. Recently I shared this while visiting with Irene as her husband Noah gave a guitar lesson to my son. She simply said "I think I can help you find your voice." And she is doing just that. A new voice to sing a new song. I thank God for bringing me hope through Irene's vocal instruction. She is a woman of great knowledge and skill in knowing just where to work with my particular voice. I sat in the audience at the Carver's recent recital and was filled even more with anticipation for what my own vocal future may again hold. I will recommend the Carvers to anyone who desires a non-threatening learning environment to expand their horizons! They are awesome teachers and precious people.
