- Adia L.
"Dr. Hammonds teaches not only from her mind but also from her heart. She trains a student's whole being rather than just training their voice, and her teaching includes counseling on combatting common barriers to success for many artists, such as self doubt and imposter syndrome. She understands what it takes to function as an artist in today's society and imparts the necessary skills and values into her students to serve as educators, writers, performers, and producers, as well as accomplished vocalists. "
- Anna B.
"Working with Dr. Hammonds has not only provided me vocal confidence but has empowered me to be more independent as a musician and an artist. She is a trailblazer in many ways. She empowers her students to reach heights that translate . . . . Truly a treasure!"
- Samantha W.
“I can truly say that I have grown tremendously as an individual and as a musician since I have been both a student in Dr. Hammonds’ vocal studio and a fellow colleague. She seems to be teaching at every moment, even in the times when it is not intended. I know that God himself placed Professor Hammonds in my life with purpose and I am truly grateful for all of the wisdom she continues to share and the time she so graciously and tirelessly sacrifices in an effort to ensure the success of her students and the surrounding community."

"My goat!"
