Unlike most educators, Avigail is equally skilled as an actor and a musician so she teaches from the angle of a Director and a Musical Director….

These (master) classes (which I get paid to be at) are actually the best professional development courses I have ever attended….. I have not come across this unique method of storytelling involving ‘music as text’ anywhere else andit makes her students stand apart from graduates of other institutions - Geoffrey Castles (Associate Musical Director - Wicked, Assistant Musical Director - Guys and Dolls, Assistant Musical Director - High School Musical)

It is Avigail’s vast experience as a professional performer, Director & musician that I believe gives her invaluable skills as an educator - Bev Kennedy (Associate Musical Director - Jersey Boys, Wicked, Avenue Q, Billy Elliot, Mamma Mia!)

I personally find Avigail one of the best musical directors I have ever worked with - Hayden Tee (Camelot US, Peter Pan US, Les Miserables London, My Fair Lady, Cats Asia, South Pacific, Little Women, Jekyll and Hyde Asia)

It’s easy to see why she is so widely regarded and respected throughout the music theatre industry. Her work ethics are above and beyond many who I have worked with. Her undivided attention to detail, no matter how big or small is what sets her apart from most - Matthew Tunchon (Associate Lighting Designer - Candy Man Australian Tour, Assistant Lighting Designer - Billy Elliott, Lighting Designer - Australian Fashion Week, New Years Eve, Sydney Festival First Night)

I consider Avigail a professional colleague whose ability, talent, focus and determination I aspire to - Katie Kermond (Choreographer and Producer - Candy Man)

You learn to treat movement, dance, script, song and lyrics as one and the same - Stevie Nicholson (Hi 5)

Needless to say, a “near enough is good enough” attitude does not register with this woman - Simon Brook McLachlan (Jersey Boys, High School Musical, The Pacific - mini series)

Avigail is an extraordinary musical director and vocal coach. The cast show herultimate respect as they appreciate the rarity of the training she provides - Karla Conway (Artistic Director Canberra Youth Theatre)
