   I have been taking lessons with Earl for three years now. I have experience as a musician but was new to singing when I started. Earl equipped me with the tools I need to become confident as an artist and a singer. He does a great job at being professional while still keeping the lessons fun. I would highly recommend him to singers of all skill levels.

Earl has been a great vocal coach and mentor. I have been a student of his for almost 2 years. Shortly after starting lessons with Earl, I suffered a hemorrhage on my left vocal chord and had nodules. The doctors were recommending surgery but I was against it. Earl helped me nurse my vocal chords back to health one week at a time with the various vocal exercises. I did not have to have surgery and my voice is now strong and healthy! I have learned many excellent vocal techniques and Earl had extensive knowledge as to why these exercises and techniques work. He tailors your lessons to the goals you have set and works hard to get the results you are looking for. He comes highly recommended if you are serious about taking your voice to the next level. I am a vocal athlete because of Earl Harville!!!

  Working with Earl has been a great asset to my life and very beneficial. I studied with him for about 9 months and it was in preparation for my college auditions. Each school had a different song repertoire from classical, jazz, pop, and theatrical. I knew that if I studied with Earl, that I would be well prepared for my auditions, and I sure was. 
  While working with Earl, I noticed a tremendous increase within my vocal ability in just the first few weeks. There are so many little things that as singers we don't even know, unless we have the proper instructor to inform us. Earl has a strong musical background and is very knowledgeable in this field. I strongly encourage you to study with Earl. He works at your pace and helps with whatever you need help with. By working with Earl, my vocal range has expanded, stage presence is more confident, voice is more full, and overall musicianship skills have increased. I am now a music performance major at the University of Indianapolis and am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Earl Harville. Job well done!!!

 I would like to say that Earl Harville of Harville Vocal Studio is an exceptional teacher. Earl is the only vocal teacher that was able to show me how to navigate through my bridges and give me exercises to improve on my overall range. He also explains the different mechanisms with these techniques. I had previous teachers that just told me, "just do this and that." Earl is a breath of fresh air and it shows in my performance and confidence. I am so glad that our paths crossed.

As a lifelong singer and voice teacher with over twenty years of experience, I sought out further study with Earl in order to deepen my understanding of vocal function—both as a performer and as an educator. I was first introduced to his work in my early twenties and have returned to study with him consistently over the last year.  
  Earl demonstrates an exceptional level of dedication to his craft, continually expanding his own knowledge to provide some of the most current and effective approaches to vocal function.  
  What distinguishes his teaching is his ability to tailor each exercise to the individual, addressing specific tendencies with precision and insight. 
  My work with Earl has significantly enhanced my awareness of my own voice, and the benefits have extended into every aspect of my singing and teaching. I can confidently recommend him as one of the finest vocal instructors, whose expertise and commitment make a lasting impact on his students.
