You (yes, you) can learn easy techniques for volume, range and emotional expression - without hurting your vocal cords! My techniques are suitable for ALL music styles. I’m UCLA-trained and have taught fun lessons for all ages since 1975. I’ve written and recorded dozens of original songs (listen to sample songs below). To discover more about my albums, click the magnifying glass icon to the left of my songs below (“Story Behind the Song”).

   I also teach guitar, world percussion, songwriting, keyboard, music healing and public speaking. Do you play some other instrument? I can help you play better with body mechanics, ear training and other skills needed for any instrument.

   My latest music CD Hope is available at The Works stores in Arcata (987 H St.) and Eureka (213 F St.) You can listen before you buy. Look in the “local artists” section under “G” for Grace. You can order Hope or my other albums Wild Again and Songs of the Goddess from me directly. To order my albums, click the magnifying glass icon to the left of my sample songs below (“Story Behind the Song”).

   Hope showcases me, Jimmy Foot, Seabury Gould, Ellen Weiss and other local musicians (age 10-85). We performed inspiring soft-rock and folk songs about peace and nature. The “CD Extra” on-disc Word files feature amazing true stories of hope, as well as info about non-profit humanitarian and progressive groups.

   Wild Again is “a shamanic sometimes comic journey of the Heart.” The styles range from jazz to pop to alternative. Reviewers: “Cindee has a gorgeous singing voice… a versatile musician… healing humor shines throughout… cherishing personal and planetary healing, recovering the joy of life!”

   Songs of the Goddess celebrates nature-based spirituality with a women’s band playing reggae, Latin and other contemporary styles. Merlin Stone, Kay Gardner, Z Budapest and other notables proclaimed the album as “pure good humor and very upbeat. Don’t miss this collection! ... her rhythms set toes to tapping and her lyrics lighten the heart…” The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation featured the song “Aphrodite” and me in their series Return of the Goddess.

   What are your musical interests? I look forward to hearing from you!
