Rock voice lessons in Western MA.
My mom has been saying that she wants to get singing lessons for a long time, so I'm looking to get her a starting lesson or two for her birthday.
I'll probably do the first couple sessions with her, either serially or together. We're both into 90's and 2000's indie and alternative (Radiohead, Arcade Fire, My Bloody Valentine, etc.) though her tastes range into loathsome adult alternative like Sarah McLachlan and Dave Matthews Band as well (the subject of much teasing by me). All the people I've been able to find so far are either teaching the wrong tradition (classical or jazz) or their background is in evil genres like New Age and commercial R&B.
She's a complete musical neophyte, barring lessons in high school that she's totally forgotten, while I'm musically literate, have decent relative pitch, etc.
We're in the Pioneer Valley, but I guess we'd be willing to travel for up to an hour. Any suggestions?

Response by poster: OK, wow, that's 8 minutes from her house. Definitely worth checking out--thanks.
