About Mary Ann G.
4.9
(40)
I have been teaching for over 30 years. I am a singer-songwriter-guitarist and performer. A native born Southern Californian, her life focus has always been music, from her beginnings as a little girl in the church choir to playing guitar in her first all girl band by age 12. She received her formal classical vocal training with Pollyanne Baxter at Cal State Los Angeles, where she received her BA in Music, and currently with Michael Morris. Over the years she has performed her original music in coffee houses, and other venues. I have performed for Weddings, Church Services and Musicals. My latest endeavor is Ruth in The Pirates of Penzance! I also love writing music and working with collaborating with others. I am currently singing and soloing, in the Rogue Valley Master Chorale, Medford OR.
CD. Her influences included, Marilyn Horne, Cecilia Bartoli, Denyce Graves, Jessye Norman, Ella Fitzgerald,The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Eva Cassidy, Jane Monheit, and Led Zeppelin.
*** Lesson Details ***
I have been teaching for a long time now and enjoy working with people. I structure the lessons to fit my student's needs and interests. Everyone learns differently and I like to make the lessons enjoyable while developing a solid foundation. I teach note-reading and incorporate music that the student wants to play or sing. I am very patient and teach all levels and ages.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Keyboard, Computer, Guitar, Uke, Amplifier, Microphone, Guitar and more. Everything you need to get started.
*** Specialties ***
Singing Lessons: Everyone can sing!!! Learn how the instrument works no guess work! I will help you develop your technique and expand your range, pitch and confidence! You will have a fun time learning about your instrument. I teach Opera/Classical, Blues, Jazz, Rock, Country, Musical Theater, and Pop styles, even though I am Classically trained. The technique will crossover into all styles.
Song-writing: I will be happy to help you structure and develop your art. It's story telling at it's finest.
Guitar: Have fun learning songs you like and get a great foundation too. I teach finger picking, tab, theory, scales, note-reading along with music you like.
