My favorite musician is... everybody (and that includes you)!

   Phone is better than email for me: 707 two six nine 7044.

   I teach singing, guitar, violin, piano, percussion, song-writing, mandolin, and other instruments.  I teach almost all music styles.

   I can help you with almost any instrument with body mechanics, pitch and rhythm training and other skills.

   I’ve happily taught music to all ages since 1975. I communicate in a friendly, clear way.

   I have degrees in psychology and health fields, in addition to my extensive music training. I use the latest discoveries about how the brain learns, to make your music lesson effective, fun and holistic (a body-mind multi-sensory approach).

   I adapt music techniques to fit the individual student (including special needs). That way, music is easier and more fun to learn.

   If I cannot help you learn music or improve your skill, I will not charge you for my time.

   My rates are affordable. : )

   Day, evening and weekend appointments are available.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

from a public school teacher:

   I have found Cindee to be a fabulous teacher. She developed our son's 'inner musician'. She has shown patience, positivity, and creativity. Our son is learning to creatively and expertly express himself. We have Cindee Grace to thank for that!

principal of a school for regular needs and special needs youth:

   She was very effective with inspiring students to participate in both singing and drumming. Cindee gives a positive message that you should make the best of all your abilities and see if you can be creative in looking at personal obstacles in a more positive way. Even students who typically don't willingly participate got involved making music with her.

   I would, without hesitation, endorse Cindee Grace.

elderly singing student:

   Cindee is knowledgeable, resourceful and dedicated and fun! I think highly of her.

Laurel Tree Learning Center (Arcata school):

   Cindee taught many delightful songs, just what our primary group needed. We enjoyed her work with our students (who had) good progress in their skills under her direction.

adult international student:

   I am very pleased with Cindee. Her approach ensures that a student learns how to use his/her voice more efficiently and to avoid causing any damage to his vocal apparatus. With Cindee I have developed a greater awareness of the subtleties of how to use my voice. I highly recommend Cindee as a vocal teacher and I am sure that if you were to choose her, you will benefit from her knowledge.

leader of a church's women's group:

   I was impressed by the information she gave us on the use of drums and chants in women's history. The drumming and use of other percussion instruments was fun to do! Cindee was skillful in leading us, most of whom had never done anything like this before.

   I look forward to hearing from you about what you’d like to learn or improve musically.  Phone is better than email for me: 707 two six nine 7044.
