“Much like a sculptor reveals the form within a block of granite, Ms. Hinkle has a gift to reveal, develop, and nurture her students’ voices. Beyond the wealth of valuable experiences and performances that she brings to her lessons, her success also builds on the fact that she genuinely cares about her pupils. Under her tutelage, we have seen our son develop into an incredible singer. If your student is passionate about a career in voice performance or voice education, Ms. Hinkle will elevate his or her performance. It is important to acknowledge that her contributions extend well beyond her direct work with her student. We are very grateful for the advice that she provided when the time came to visit and select a college. As you would expect from a person who has performed at such a high level, she has come to meet and appreciate many individuals who are now educators or are still performing, and she is uniquely positioned to provide an expert opinion on which mentors and colleges would be better suited given your student’s voice and drive. We will always be grateful for her work first with Nicholas, and now with our daughter Marie“

“Ms. Hinkle has a gift for unlocking talent and building voices in her high school students. She takes students where they are and pushes them well beyond their expectations of themselves. Jessie consistently produces singers of the highest quality who excel at competitions. Many of her students have earned scholarships at top collegiate music schools and are pursuing their own performing and teaching careers”

Sarah Council, Director, Plano West Senior High School Choir

“I always love teaching students that Jessie Hinkle has taught in high school. She creates a firm foundation of technique and instills a confidence in the young singer—a combination that leads to great success for her students in the college/conservatory setting and beyond”

Dr. Catherine McDaniel, Professor of Voice and Diction, Bass School of Music, Oklahoma City University

“Jessie is a difference maker and has a very unique ability to connect with students on their level. Our son Jack worked with Jessie for the last two years of high school. He was an accomplished guitarist and we knew that, but we had no idea he could sing. Jessie saw his raw ability right away and worked closely with him to bring out the best in his voice and really teach him how to use it properly. She instilled a confidence in him that he parlayed into an acceptance into the Music Theater program at Oklahoma City University. Jack is now working with some of the best vocal teachers and coaches in America at OCU. With her years of training and performing on Broadway we consider Jessie just as talented as his college teachers are. Jack and Jessie remain close and he always schedules lessons with her whenever he’s in town. We think the world of her personally. Your kid couldn’t work with anyone better!”

Tom and Becca S. (Lucas, TX)

“My three daughters have taken voice lessons from Jessie Hinkle, and I could not be more pleased. Jessie is a challenging but encouraging teacher. I especially appreciate her work with my middle daughter who would like to pursue vocal performance or musical theater as a major in college. Jessie has gone above and beyond working on vocal technique to help my daughter with audition preparation and in connecting with a college instructor from her dream school. Voice lessons with Ms Hinkle are the highlight of my daughter's week”

Jenny K. (Richardson, TX)

“Jessie is an amazing vocalist and voice teacher! The progress my daughter has made in the year she has been working with Jessie is remarkable.

Jessie’s teaching and coaching has thoroughly helped my daughter prepare for college auditions as well as participate successfully in roles for theatre and choir. My daughter loves taking lessons with Jessie and the professional growth she has made is a direct reflection of Jessie’s ability to bring out the extraordinary potential in her students. Jessie goes above and beyond for her students and I hope my daughter keeps Jessie in her life long after she graduates high school and moves on to college!”

“Ms. Hinkle is incredible; I enjoyed working with her so much in high school. Under her mentorship senior year, I not only was a member of all the top choir groups and soloed in almost every concert but also made the Texas All-State choir and am now studying Vocal Performance in college. She combines amazing teaching and ability with a genuine care and understanding for her students. Joining her studio was the best thing I could have done for myself”

Noah J, Sophomore Vocal Performance Major, University of Utah

“We have had two children take voice lessons from Mrs. Hinkle and we’re looking forward to a third child starting this Summer. She is amazing! We are so grateful that our kids receive not only excellent instruction but are supported in their goals. Our oldest son made it into Texas Allstate Choir under her direction. Mrs. Hinkle invests emotionally in her students and they can feel it. Our kids have felt that they are important to her not only as students but as individuals. She has a gift for motivating them to work hard and reach their potential”
