Versatile Voices Unlimited -VO & music RETIRED Performer: Actor,vocalist , vocal coach, pianist, piano teacher, vocal coach From that experience I taught myself to play the piano. Are you dedicated?

Overview

As a child I watched from the doorway as my older sister took her piano lessons. My formal training came in college where I received my BA in Applied Music in piano and voice. I studied classical music and opera from a visiting professor from Peabody Conservatory, Baltimore MD. I graduated with honors and gave my Town Hall performance in the Spring of my Senior year. I had a passionate d

esire to be involved in music, to hear it and to perform it. I spent several years singing with the San Diego Opera Company, performing lead roles in Musical Theater and soloing in concerts from Monterrey to San Diego, CA. While still a student in college, I taught piano to children from the local community, so I have accumulated decades of teaching experience. Nothing brings me greater pleasure than to see individuals "blossom" into their creative selves. Whether it is for a student's own enjoyment, audition preparation, recital performance or ongoing piano or voice development, I am committed to engaging you in an experience of learning and fun. It may be the biggest thrill of your lifetime!

*** Lesson Details ***
I love to have fun. For me, learning is a great source of fun. My goal is to make the process of your learning music fun while effective. I do have high standards for participation. I do not ask anything of you that I haven't done myself. I know, from many years of experience in performing and teaching, what it takes to make progress in a learning curve, Are you excited? Are you willing to jump in and get busy? I will give you the foundation of theory and technique to support your performance. I will expand your understanding and appreciation for music in its many styles and formats. No every other week or schedule as you go lessons, please.

*** Studio Equipment ***
Living room - Steinway piano, cathedral ceilings ... good acoustics.

*** Travel Equipment ***
Must have piano or quality keyboard. I definitely prefer piano.

*** Specialties ***
I was trained classically in both piano and voice, but spent many years in musical theater and singing in supper clubs, as well. I am capable of teaching most styles of piano and voice except rock and rap.

Doctors say I will never get better or go into full remission...I am not giving up, but I want to make others aware. A nap won't help. I am not lazy. I am on meds. I struggle with pain, mobility issues and fatigue every day. The most frustrating part is people look at me and say "It can't be that bad; you look fine." Despite the fact that my body is experiencing excruciating pain all over. I apologize if I miss events that I would love to attend. One day you'll understand my daily struggles. This disease affects me physically, mentally, and emotionally. I need your support, not your judgment. I'm watching the ones who will take the time to read this post to the end.

So humbled by this student's review of me:

"Talented, Wise Music And Voice Teacher Who Challenges You To The Next Level"
- Felix C. Redondo Beach, CA on 8/25/14
Patricia has a lifetime of know-how and wisdom, but especially so when it comes down to understanding, teaching and appreciating the intricate complexity within the world of music.

She is able to recognize your potential and latent ability very quickly and will provide you with all the tools and guidance you need to succeed from the moment you begin with her. She is a kind and dignified lady and an excellent professional to work with.

Just be sure to bring your A-game. Patricia expects you to be on time, do the work she assigns, and rise above your own limitations. She'll push you to make you stronger, but to do this she needs you to communicate clearly with her and also be respectful of her time and effort.

But this high level of instruction may not be the best for those who are wishing to learn casually as hobby or as a just a light pastime. Of course, she can still cater to every level...

But Patricia is a very special individual and an award-winning teacher. She is capable of not just getting you to play the ivory or bust out a few high notes from your windpipes -- she is the type that can help you become a fully-fledged musician. But at that caliber of music training, it also requires the time, the discipline, the patience, and of course the dedication on your part.

This was my experience during the time I had with her, and I would highly recommend serious students wishing to learn classical piano or voice instruction to contact her before the school season is fully underway because she can fill up completely.

She comes in very high demand, so don't mess around here because you're learning from one of the best teachers this side of the Pecos River. Or I could say off-Broadway!

I was unable to continue with her as I sustained an injury, so piano is on hold for me now. But I wanted to share my experience and thank her for what I learned by writing this review.
