My favorite musician is... everybody!

  You (yes, you) can learn easy techniques for singing 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, mandolin, violin, percussion, song-writing, keyboard, and other instruments.

   Do you already play a different instrument? I can help you play better with tips on body mechanics, pitch and rhythm training and other skills needed for any instrument.

   My rates are affordable. Barter and partial scholarships are possible. Day, evening and weekend times are available. Email me (click Contact at top or below) and include your phone number.

MUSIC LESSON 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!

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.

elderly student:

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

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.

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.

   All songs on my CDs are also available as mp3 files (emailed to you). Email me (click Contact at top or below) for pricing.

   You can order my albums from me directly. Email me (click Contact at top or below) for my CURRENT address (don't mail checks to the old address in the albums' flyers).

   To learn more about 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 my 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 say: "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 my songs with 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 my song "Aphrodite" and me in their series Return of the Goddess.

   I look forward to hearing from you about lessons or CD/mp3 purchases!
