Here is what people are saying about working with Sandi:

Dan Elliott Jr. @The Strum Shop

"Sandi Padilla is an exceptional musician, vocalist and teacher.  I know few vocalists who can sing in as wide a range of styles as she can.  Whether the student is preparing for a classical recital or is interested in more modern, contemporary techniques, Sandi can do it all. In addition to her amazing voice, she is a multi-instrumentalist with a strong foundation in music theory and songwriting. When she’s ready to move back to Sacramento we have a lesson studio ready and waiting."
