With all his energy, enthusiasm, wisdom and talent, he never overpowers you - except perhaps when he hugs you. Ode is an outstanding educator. His organized vocal curriculum builds an invisible foundation. His warm-ups just a pinch from his unique bag of vocal magic has become a cornerstone for my vocal preparation.

• "Being a 'natural' has been the greatest DETRIMENT to achieving my goals and dreams. I came to Ode Wannebo with a lot of baggage, bad habits, an unpleasant sound, a serious intonation problem and several embarrassing vocal breaks. With Ode's 'bridge building concept,' I cannot thank him enough for all his talent, patience, and perseverance with me." - Patty Zap

• "I have always loved to sing, but too afraid to even try, and when I did......I blew it! I finally came to Ode Wannebo, who told me I had a wonderful alto voice, and with proper training, capable of doing great things. I have now developed both my voice and confidence to sing, even at Carnegie Hall in 1999. Ode is a musical wizard, who can help the smallest talent to learn."

• "I am an 80 years young man. Two years ago I met Ode Wannebo. I immediately started to study with him. What he has done for me vocally is one thing, but our studies have given me a renewed hope and purpose in life. My friends and I are amazed at all of this. It is never too late to start. I am preparing for my first recital. Can you believe it?" - Wally Hadsell

• "Ode Wannebo's systematic approach to voice training is more than a total body experience -- it reaches for the mind, the soul, and the spirit also. Having an untrained tenor voice with some natural quality, Ode's techniques quickly exposed the risk I was taking to damaging my vocal chords. From a career spent using the scientific approach, I immediately grasped an appreciation for the logic and simplicity of Ode's vocal development system, and it made perfect sense to me, that it also works."

• "I may never know why my fourth grade teacher said to me, 'You are monotone and you couldn't carry a tune in a paper bag.' Thanks to you, Ode, I now know I don't need a paper bag. What I need is focus, structure, technique, genuine desire, and above all, a teacher with the passion for singing that you possess. I've found that with your simplified approach, when I made the effort to replace the bad habits with good habits, my soul feels free and I hear my voice soaring. Thanks, Ode, and God bless you."  - Bill Jones, City Employee

• "My voice was almost gone from mis-use and faulty instruction. Ode quickly assessed my problems. Now my voice is back again - better than ever!" - Rita Stobbe

• "Instant gratification was not even an option for me 3 1/2 month's ago when I started to study with Mr. Ode Wannebo. My father, a professional musician, instilled in me from childhood that 'anything worthwhile is going to take time'. I am having so much fun building my repertoire for my main goal that I have already doubled up my weekly lesson's with Ode. My family and fellow musician's are astonished at my progress. May I encourage anyone out there not to be afraid of setting goal's and staying true to them? My goal is to sing with The Metropolitian Opera in New York. It's totally up to me . . .I know."
