I rolled in so shut down and inflexible and am going home cracked wide open to what's possible... Flow singing was life changing.

I loved taking classes with Patricia! I loved the blend of structure and freedom in our classes – she made sure we got the foundations down solid, and then encouraged us to play and find our way into creative expressions that served our own souls. The design of the curriculum and lessons were so thoughtful and intentional. Our cohort became incredibly close because she created spaces where we were able to connect and support each other deeply, building our collaboration skills alongside our musicianship. – Eileen W., Modal Muscle online class participant

Patricia and I are more different than alike, both as people and with distinctly different musical backgrounds. The class I took with her turned out to be a pleasure, and I would gladly have taken another. She was skillful at addressing the diverse learning styles of individuals and the different skill levels of students. I most appreciated Patricia's helpful feedback on the assignments. It wasn't just the usual praise where everyone is told they are doing great. When I asked for more specifics, she provided them. I highly recommend her as a wonderful person and an excellent teacher. – Glenn P., Modal Muscle online class participant
