Joyful Singing Class - laughter and tears!


First of my 'Joyful Singing!' classes last night - we had lots of laughs, and even some tears as the attendees shared their desire to sing without fear. I love empowering people to get rid of their old beliefs and sing with CONFIDENCE! It's life-changing! Class continues next Monday in Salt Lake.

Cult Status for my Musical!

"Marilyn, An American Fable" - the musical I co-wrote with Norman Thalheimer (with Kenny Ortega making his Broadway directorial debut) was named "a cult musical" by a reader/member of BroadwayWorld.com! Cult status....is that a good or a bad thing??!!!!

3rd Grade Singing Humiliation!

In my Singing For Health class yesterday I had each student sing a solo line, then had the whole class do an appropriate exercise that would address the vocal challenge the student was having.  After class a woman came up to me and said that she had had a humiliating experience at the hand's of her 3RD GRADE choir teacher, and had never sung again until yesterday.  Unbelievable how long we carry these old hurts that hold us back from enjoying life fully!

Inspiring new Songwriters!


I'm getting excited about teaching Songwriting 101 coming up next thursday in Salt Lake! I think it's so cool when you can show folks the 'secrets' of the craft, and get them inspired to write!

Songwriting 101 in SLC

Getting materials together for my 'SONGWRITING 101" class starting next week in Salt Lake.  I love teaching this class - it's always gratifying to see how inspired folks get once the mystery is taken out of the songwriting process!
