Ms Buckley presented the first Song Interpretation Workshop concert in January 2009 featuring workshop participants to rave reviews. Mark Lowry’s review celebrates, “The results, we must say, were heavenly.”

Ms. Buckley shares her expertise for telling stories in song and guides her students through a teaching philosophy that facilitates audience connection through songs and monologues. Her emotional connection to songs and audiences is renowned, and that very connection is at the heart of what Ms. Buckley imparts to her students. Having been a teacher for 39 years, she has taught numerous singers, actors and professionals including investment bankers, athletic coaches and persons who want to perfect their ability to effectively communicate in their work and relationships.
