She has helped me become much more confident by teaching me how to sing with proper technique without straining or damaging my voice. What really stands out is how knowledgeable she is about human anatomy and how it relates to singing, which has made her instruction both practical and easy to understand. She's an incredible teacher, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their singing.

She makes you feel comfortable and has a way of teaching you how to sing. Looking forward to doing an open mic and I feel so much better about it thanks to her. It's even gotten to the point where I am doing the vocal warmups in my sleep. Not kidding, I have been woken up by my boyfriend saying that I was doing a vocal warm up.. and the best part was that he said I was ON KEY! Thank you Lori :)

Karl Sanger is truly the key to music success. My 13 year old daughter has studied under him for 7…read moreyears now. Words can't describe what an incredible music teacher and person he is. Karl has shaped and molded her into one of the most amazing vocalist I've ever heard for someone her age. He is also teaching her how to read/write music and his unwavering patience along with his positivity makes for a nurturing learning environment. My daughter is finishing up her 7th grade year at The Orange County School of the Arts-Classical Voice Conservatory, which is an extremely competitive school to be accepted to. I know because of Karl's guidance and support, he helped give her the confidence needed in order to make her dream of being accepted into this prestigious school a reality. Karl holds his students to a high standard that does nothing short of setting them up for success in the music world. If you're looking for a superb music teacher who also supports students in achieving their dreams, then look no further! Karl is the perfect choice and I know many people that agree with me.

She figured out what I was doing almost immediately and never once made me feel dumb about it. She just went, okay, here's what's happening, let's fix it. What I appreciate most is that she actually coaches. She's not just running you through scales and calling it a lesson. She catches the one thing that's costing you and gives you something specific to work on, and she's encouraging the whole way through without it feeling fake. When something isn't there yet, she says so. When you finally land it, she's genuinely hyped for you. The biggest difference is how much less like work singing feels now. Stuff I used to muscle through I can just sing. No straining, no bracing for it. If you're grinding your voice down and can't figure out why, go see her.

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!

Thank you very much for communicating. I would love to take singing lessons with you.read more
