Ben 10 movie that premiered on Cartoon Network in December 2007. Bianca was asked to audition for High School Musical 3 for a
second time! She auditioned for director Kenny Ortega of the hit High
School Musical. Bianca's audition went wonderfully. They decided to go
with a girl from Europe to put a twist on the next movie, but Bianca
keeps on smiling and auditioning. Bianca is a major talent and no one
deserves it more. Currently, Bianca is learning to play guitar and is writing her own songs to be released mid 2009!
"Bianca has been studying voice with
Leota since the age of 8 and we wouldn't have it any other way. Leota
has taught her everything under the sun; from proper vocal technique
and care for the voice, development of a strong mixed voice, writing
music, musicianship, performance skills and artist development. Bianca
has worked on every style of music imaginable and has been given the
knowledge of great singing. She has given Bianca the backbone and
skills to become an artist in her own right…"

"In
the past we had been frequently disappointed by highly recommended
vocal teachers focused on teaching how to mimic songs and artists with
little if any instruction on proper breathing and technique. Whether a
student wants a music career or not, it was of the utmost importance
that our child develop the critical understanding as to how to use and
protect the vocal cords for a lifetime of enjoyment. Leota has brought
this knowledge and wisdom each week in her lessons, she is
professional, patient, firm, yet very caring to nurture a quality
singer. We have seen huge progress through weekly lessons in strength,
stamina and ability in our child over the past year, and owe it all to
Leota....Adi and Kara Antariksa

Montana Tucker- came to Leota to perfect her vocal technique. Montana's solo career is really something! She was honored to be one of the featured artists at the 2007's Super Bowl Vip NFL party, as well as open for Ciara, Omarian, Ashanti, and Pit Bull. She was also was the grand
prize winner of the movie Step Up 2 where she is featured

Chris Montez-has come to study and perfect his technique with Leota recently!
One of the leading rockers in the Los Angeles Hispanic community after the tragic death of Ritchie Valens, Chris Montez later mellowed out under the tutelage of Herb Alpert and tallied several MOR-style hits. His first smash was on Monogram in 1962, "Let's Dance." It was a grinding rocker with roller-rink organ. Montez changed his attitude after signing with A&M. With Alpert producing, Montez adopted an easygoing approach on "Call Me," "The More I See You," and "Time After Time," all solid sellers in 1966.

is completely responsible, trust-worthy, and good natured- I would
highly recommend her to teach. Leota's intelligence and communicative
skills make her an ideal candidate for teaching!"-Kimball Wheeler
