What students are saying ...

"Yesterday was awesome! Unexpected sounds came out.. it was like "wow"!!! I can't wait for next time. ..."

Marissa C.

"... I was so nervous at my first lesson. Patricia has such a calming, warm personality. She instantly helped me relax, gives me the encouragement I need, and has taught me so many "secrets" of singing. I now have the confidence to sing in a small ensemble at Church. Patricia makes this leaning experience so much fun. She is helping me reach my dream. For that, I am truly grateful."

Julie H.

"She definitely knows what she is doing! I was nervous the first time and she made me feel very comfortable. She is patient and it is evident that she wants me to succeed! She keeps her full attention on me to make sure that I am doing things right. If you are looking for a teacher who both takes her work serious and has an outgoing personality, she is the person to go to!=D"

- Marissa C.

"I was surprised that Patricia actually replied back to my email. She is really helpful and gave me some encouraging words. She is very kind and respectful and never said anything negative. I really hope that I get to take a lesson or two from her in the near future ... she seems really really awesome! =)"

- Bre A.

"Patricia is a rare find - a most wonderful teacher, of voice and life, who challenges and yet can laugh, and has patience beyond belief. As an amateur singer, I have learned to breathe (amazing how we forget), relax and trust myself. I look forward to laughing, as well as singing, every session. I highly recommend Patricia for anyone wanting to grow personally and vocally."

- Lydia W.
