Summer 2000
Can you sing on pitch? Join us for the sheer joy of singing ole-timey gospel songs ... Appalacian, Shaker
Hymns, Spirituals and some fairly recent old-timey-styled Gospel songs
I was brought up in the little Country Baptist Church in Akron, Ohio where my grandfather was the minister,
choir director and soloist -- rabbi and cantor, so to speak.  Grandmother played the piano, and my mom
played the organ. My 2 sisters and I learned the old songs and became a trio -- the Singing Sisters,
eventually recording and singing all over the United States.

Vocal Tech 2... Fri 11:30am, Sat @11am & 3pm, Sun @3pm
The 15 students of Vocal Tech 1 learn to
breathe for singing, and to perform
a particular series of exercises that powers,
develops, and strengthens the muscles of the voice.
We also learn songs,
singing together as well as solo.  
By the end of the 8 week session,
people are eager to sing alone.
Vocal Tech 2 continues what began in VT 1
including being eligible (not required) to sing
at one of the musical outings we call our
 vocals
& guitar
vocals &
keyboard
(Hank Williams, Curtis Mayfield).
Daddy preached and made sure we girls arrived at our scheduled performances.
"Sing a New Song"
I offer private voice lessons from my home studio in East Rogers
Park,
Chicago, IL. Here we focus on each individual need and level
of development, and expand the repertoire. I coach beginners as
well as classically trained singers who would like to continue
studying the classics and/or transition to jazz and lighter repertoire. I
have professional experience in and can advise and coach
contempory music, musical theater and classical.  I provide song
ideas as well as help folks learn the songs
they want to learn. My
Voice Performance degree is from Wheaton College
and my vocal training continues with Douglas Susu-Mago,
my voice teacher of the past 30years.
