STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

HEIDI R.

"When I first started taking guitar lessons with Cortnee, I was timid to sing and play in front of people. She gave me a safe space and soon enough I was performing and writing as many songs as I could. Cortnee genuinely cares about each of her students and goes above and beyond to help us achieve individual goals. She has become a part of who I am today and the musician I'm still growing to be."

"Cortnee Langlie is more than just a teacher. She is my inspiration and I don't know what I would do without her. There is never a dull moment in class and I leave every session learning something new and feeling amazing about myself. There is no better music teacher out there!"

NAVYA T.

"Ms. Cortnee has been my biggest inspiration since my very first lesson with her seven years ago. She has not only shown me the power of music, but taught me what it means to believe in myself. Her patience and encouragement has helped me find the confidence to use my own voce, write my own songs, and perform in front of people. To have Ms. Cortnee as your music teacher is to learn form someone who is passionate and supportive. And, honestly, I wouldn't be who I am today without her."

In 2018 I discovered Cortnee Langlie; a talented voice teacher who plays musical instruments and was willing to work with me despite my profound hearing loss. Her patient and supportive approaches to instruction have helped me re-kindle my love of music and discover my authentic singing voice.

Cortnee brings incredible energy and compassion to every interaction and I highly recommend her as a music teacher. Earlier this year, I attended one of Cortnee's recitals that she put on for her students so they could share/perform their musical skills. She went above and beyond, bringing all sorts of amplification, microphones, and a mixing board so the students could hear themselves amplified in a professional way. After the recital, families crowded around her, eager to tell her what a valuable experience it has been receiving her lessons. One parent even shared that Cortnee's sessions seemed to be more helpful than the therapy sessions her daughter was receiving. Cortnee is a powerful mentor in this way to the young girls that she has taught.

Long time student here! I was a student of Cortnee's all through middle and high school and she helped me dial in my passion for music. A super kind and great person to work with, I can't say enough good things! She is a rare type of experienced, empathetic, professional, patient, and excellent teacher. If you're looking for a music teacher for yourself, or your child, she's the one! She was an amazing teacher to me when I was a kid, and still an amazing teacher to me as an adult.

Cortnee is a wonderful music instructor and a caring individual. During Covid my daughter thrived while taking music lessons on Zoom with her. I would recommend her in a heart beat!

CHRISTINA Y.

My daughters started private music lessons with Ms. Cortnee over 6 years ago. Throughout the years, Ms. Cortnee has supported their learning and appreciation of music. She is thorough with her instructional methods, and always patient. Ms. Cortnee goes above and beyond, giving them a safe learning environment, and modifying her lessons to their needs and comfort levels of what they were able to perform. She even provided Zoom lessons for my daughters during the pandemic, and they looked forward to those lessons every week.

BRIAN K.

My daughter has been doing musicals at school and at CMTSJ for the past 4 years. I spent a good couple of months searching for a good vocal couch and got a lot of dead ends. Then by chance, I ran into Cortnee and it was a match made in stars. My daughter has been doing vocal lesson for over 4 months with Cortnee and we have seen her voice change greatly. My daughter is even eager to learn piano and song writing with Cortnee as she gets older.

REBECCA K.

Cortnee has become more than just a music teacher for our daughter, she's now also a life coach and mentor. Her lessons have been online for years now as we relocated from the Bay Area in 2020, and it's a testament to Cortnee's emotional intelligence and compassion that it's continued to work that way, even after long days of school. She's helped our daughter fully appreciate music as an outlet for expression, including musical composition, and we couldn't be happier to have found a musical mentor for her who goes so far beyond just following a preset curriculum and enable her to explore music on her own terms, keeping it always meaningful and rewarding. Thank you Cortnee!
