Who are We?
I
put up this website in June of 2000, and in the last 12 years, I have met and coached thousands of wonderful singers all over
the world.
Even though I didn't have much
experience in web design, I had a purpose!!! And that was to reach as
many singers, old and young, amateur and professional with the things I
knew about the gift of singing! And once I began talking to singers all
over the world and helping them to fulfill their dreams...WHATEVER THAT
DREAM WAS, we, as a group began to change...ourselves and the world
around us.
Life threw us a few curves and
detours, but we are BACK with a new purpose and a whole new attitude!
You want to sing??? We are here to make sure you get to do just THAT!!
For I truly believe that the reason
we have been graced with the gift of singing, is to share it and heal an
often broken world. every time we lift our voice in song, whether from a
glorious stage, or own own bedroom, somewhere, someone is touched in a
positive way.

"He
who lets his breath, hence his life force, flow consentingly as a willing sound
sacrifice from the depths of his body, sings his life; for singing means to
affirm life, to free oneself, and thereby to bring happiness and prosperity to
oneself, and consequently to one's fellow man."

Chrys
Page trio schedule
Back in the 60's I sang with my first trio at THE GRAND HOTEL
in Anaheim, California.
The above shot of me with my trio called,
"Three's Company", long before the TV sit-com, Ha Ha! The
gentleman at the piano my friend and seriously brilliant Jazz
pianist, Barney McClure, whose Bill Evans-style of playing gave me
an early appreciation of musical theory, chords, voicings, etc.
Every singer should know some music theory, especially, the keys
he or she sings in, and the form and structure of a song. It
commands respect from your fellow musicians when you know the
music you are performing.
