We found Mollys music on yelp and the experience was great from the first call with the music coordinator Liam, who just went above and beyond to make sure everything was clear about the lessons and took extra time to get to know a bit about my daughter to make sure that the vocal coach was a great match and she was! Maddie was so great and professional, relaxed and knowledgeable and my daughter had a lot of fun with her. Mollys music was really accommodating with scheduling changes and trying to support my daughter's very busy schedule. Highly recommend!

I haven't been actively singing since 2014 after I graduated high school. Sure, I still sang a bit but mostly in my car. I have taken vocal lessons when I was younger but never fully committed. I finally decided to dedicate myself to it this year along with changing up my lifestyle for the better. I searched for vocal teachers private studio near me on google and stumbled across Chrissie. I decided to give this a try. If I may say so myself, this has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my entire life. She is a very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly individual. Over the span of 3 lessons, I have learned A LOT. With her guidance, I do feel the immediate difference. With so many tricks in her bag, she has been making singing easier for me one lesson at a time. At times some concepts may be difficult to grasp but she is right there with you guiding you through it. When you come across an issue, she analyzes the situation and provides a solution that is easily understood and achieved. As you sing, she KNOWS what you are struggling with and how. I trust her completely and look forward to continuing working with her! I highly recommend her!!!!"

I started with no real training and that didnt intimidate her! She has been so patient and really takes her time to understand my individual voice and needs. My range has increased and my understanding of how my voice and body work together has blossomed. She has even tailored our time to incorporate some music theory lessons. Oh ya! And! She uses Google classroom so I get videos and links to other tools I can use in my spare time. I've mentioned my goals are local theater and choir and I'm excited to keep learning and make those happen. If you want someone who can help you find YOUR voice and have fun and laughs doing it, PLEASE work with Molly. She is amazing.

She gave me super helpful breathing exercises, vocal techniques, and artistic guidance that changed my singing 180 for the better!

She also creates a comfortable and judgement free space :)

I discovered McCormick a year ago when I found a beginner's open jam session on Meetup. At that…read moretime I had been learning bass for about 5 years on my own through YouTube tutorials and tabs. It used to take me several weeks just to learn one whole song at tempo. Improvisation skills were at zero. Plus, I didn't know anyone else who played an instrument, so I wasn't making much progress. The two times I had previously attempted joining a random open jam, I was completely lost and frustrated. But then I attended that first McCormick jam session... What I love about the open jams is that it's run by an instructor, so they'll often suggest easier songs and run through the chords on a whiteboard before starting. The people that attend are welcoming and friendly for all skill levels, and it's nice to see the same faces come back each month. Beginner/intermediate players get a chance to play along to easier songs, but there's also a chance for more advanced players to improvise and solo. I wound up having so much fun that first time, that I signed up for private lessons the week after, and have been going to the monthly jam sessions ever since. If you take private lessons, you can also sign up to join a student band that practices once a week to perform at concerts 4x a year. For beginners/intermediate who think they're not good enough to join a band, or if none of your friends are musically inclined, this is PERFECT. No matter who much you practice by yourself and can play along to a recording at home, it doesn't beat playing live in a group. Private lessons + band practice + monthly jams have seriously leveled up my skills in the past year. Now, I can learn a song well enough to survive a jam session with only a couple run throughs beforehand if I've never heard it before. I can survive a 12 bar blues jam without any prep. Plus I've also connected with a couple people during the jam sessions, and am now learning 3-4 new songs each week! Also, shout out to Jules who's helped me learn songs much faster by simplifying basslines that I thought were too hard to play, and getting me to work more on listening and improvisation instead of relying 100% on tabs. He's an excellent and encouraging teacher, and I've picked up tons of tips and advice in the past year. Really happy I found McCormick! I've always loved playing an instrument, but it's 100x more fun if you get to play with other people.

Patricia is a brilliant Renaissance woman. She is what you get when you mix technical excellence…read moreand style with humility, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to the craft. She is simply the best! I feel incredibly lucky to have met Patricia and begun my singing journey with her. I've been a student at Studio Shanks since 2018, when I was fresh out of college and looking for a voice teacher who could earnestly teach me how to sing. At the time, there were flashy online ads for folks that could "make you a superstar" and all of it felt so loud and nothing seemed to fit. At one point Patricia returned my call. Immediately I knew that she was the right teacher for me. It was obvious that she is not just naturally fun and easygoing, but also a true technician when it comes to the craft of singing. It's been a few years since we began working together. I've discovered that singing is something that can be learned at any age. It requires hard work, but it can be done. Luckily, Patricia is entirely dedicated to the growth and success of her students. Knowing this makes it much easier to bring my own effort during and between classes. I am honestly amazed at how, despite having worked with many respected luminaries in the field, Patricia remains humble and always with a sense of humor that puts me at ease. She is everything that comprises a professional artist and educator. What I love most is that she cuts through the noise and focuses on pure foundations. That means that she is able to work with vocalists ranging from the most contemporary pop styles to opera to musical theatre and beyond. All kinds of singing require the same basic knowledge of healthy and safe vocal techniques. At Studio Shanks, everything counts and everything matters. Thank you so much, Patricia!
