Her students sing well and clearly have comfortable and appropriate relationships with her. They demonstrate the same fine vocal technique she employs. Julie is blessed with a beautiful voice and the technical understanding to use it well."

"Although I had a few years of private voice training under my belt before connecting with her, Julie was able to diagnose several poor habits and technical things that I was implementing in my singing. One of the things that I needed help with was keeping the brightness of my voice in check. Julie would demonstrate how to make a rounder, fuller space in my mouth to allow for greater resonance and a richer, darker sound. However, making a song “sound good” was leaving the job half done, according to Julie. She would always help me find depth in both the music and lyrics, focusing on textual painting and the importance of emphasizing certain lyrics, syllables or consonants to further convey the emotion of a song." - Former WHS Student now in College
"Ms. Krugman developed my daughter’s vocal skills and at the same time provided an atmosphere where her confidence increased dramatically. Ms. Krugman shares her passion and extensive knowledge with her students. She has the unique gift of being able to elicit and develop her students’ natural gifts while at the same time challenging them to avoid complacency and strive for excellence. She gives generously of her time and expertise and promotes a learning environment that is relaxed yet challenging for her students." - Westborough Parent
"I have been very pleased with the musical skills and techniques that Julie has been teaching my daughters over the past several years. They have worked on sight reading, breathing exercises, diction, posture, and overall stage presence. The girls have been challenged by being asked to learn different genres of music. They both have made a great deal of progress in the area of vocal performance. Ms. Krugman also keeps in contact with each of my daughters’ school choral conductors about their progress and upcoming audition opportunities."
