| What to Expect |
|
Beginners: You'll learn how to sing on pitch and how to project your voice. As your sound quality improves so will your confidence. Expect singing shyness to diminish and enjoyment to increase. |
|
Intermediate: You'll create a better, more pleasing sound and tone. Your confidence will increase and so will your enjoyment. |
|
Advanced: You'll learn how to perform on stage, including how to establish stage presence. This means expressing what's in your heart through your voice. |
|
Professional: gain valuable coaching and feedback on your performance and stage presence. How to be compelling and heartfelt so your music goes beyond entertaining and emotionally moves your audience. |
At every level, you'll learn how to relax, tap in, and let go - this is what makes performing fun, entertaining and moving. Hitting the right notes is a good first step but it takes more than that to connect with the music and your audience. The magic of music starts here – for you, the performer, and your listener. Be prepared to experience true joy. |

WHAT TO BRING
Selecting Your Music
Select three to five songs per season that feel comfortable and inspire you. This will make the process of learning them more enjoyable. Rideau Music on 11th Avenue SW in Calgary has an excellent selection. You can maximize your session time by bringing your music with you to every session.
Notes
Bring a journal or notebook to record the results of your sessions. You will receive homework and suggestions on what to focus on. You are welcome to bring a tape recorder and blank cassette or other recording device so you can replay your lesson back at home.
Scheduling
Appointment times vary from 45 – 60 minutes and can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly to suit your objectives, availability, and budget. Sessions are available noon to 7pm, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays year round (with short breaks at Christmas, Easter, and summer).
Fees
Fees are based on the number of sessions you commit to. Please call for more information about current rates and packages, 403-229-9321. Completing a commitment to yourself can be challenging in many ways: life happens, being busy, feeling scared or frustrated. The urge to quit can sometimes seem overwhelming. You can count on me to support you in completing your initial commitment to yourself, to help you move through the fears (and subconscious delay tactics) that arise so you can achieve the results you desire. For this reason it is my policy that, once committed to a term of lessons, fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. Please give this careful consideration before hiring me. I am here to help you fulfill your musical dreams.
Give the Gift of Music
Do you know someone who would enjoy singing lessons or who would appreciate a little boost in expressing themselves? Whether it’s for a special occasion (anniversary, birthday, Christmas, Mothers/Fathers day) or simply to support them in a new experience, contact Patty to arrange a custom gift certificate. You’ll receive a colourful certificate you can print and present as your gift. Your recipient will contact Patty to schedule their session(s).
