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. :

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
