Dear Deanna,
I'm just checking into vocalist today with tons and
tons of pile-up so this is coming a few days after
your original posting. Nancy Zylstra was my teacher
for about 4 years when I lived in Seattle (during the
time that she was seeking treatment), and I will vouch
for her that she is terrific. Only now that I've
completed the coursework to call myself a "vocologist"
in addition to voice disorders work do I appreciate
just how knowledgeable she is. And it's true that she
was stricken and searched high and low just to procure
an accurate diagnosis for her voice malady. Good
gracious! Most importantly, she is very kind and
motivated to help singers in need.
I assume it's Dr. Faugh (um, spelling?) that you'll be
seeing and probably Marty Nevdahl is doing the strobe?
At any rate, you're lucky to have found a dedicated
team to help you -- particularly this one.
Best wishes,
Jennifer, who is planning on moving back to Seattle
and getting back into Nancy's studio when finished in
Iowa :)
