Julie Coggiola is the consummate performer! A huge talent, she tells thoughtful and genuine musical stories, explores wide ranges of emotion, nurtures her audience, and is generous with her joy.

"I’ve had many vocal jazz ensemble directors but what Julie Coggiola has is special. She is able to cultivate a strong environment for learning while maintaining a family-like support system. I always felt like Julie wanted to help us make incredible music but she also helps her students be better people. She gives very poignant and constructive critiques which really helps the ensemble grow effectively. I cherished my time in class with her and it really helped set me on the path to where I am today."
