Introduction: Welcome to the Bay Area Music Workshop - offering guitar, voice, ukulele, bass and piano lessons. Here you'll find supportive, professional, creative music services that have measurable, proven, successful outcomes. My 20 years' experience teaching will get you singing, playing and performing quickly with special attention to your unique, creative flair. We'll explore songs, technique and theory while learning 'how to practice' using sustainable, fun and engaging plans. You'll learn how to remain mindful and engaged and - most importantly - excited about learning music. Understand your range and how to alter a song to suit your voice. Improve your pitch with ear training and vocal exercises. Learn how to use vocal arranging to improve performance and comfort. Find your style and learn how to make a song your own. My approach to voice instruction is called Speech Level Singing. It's a contemporary singing technique, great for rock, folk, jazz, pop and blues. Really helps smooth out tough areas and protects the vocal system from pain and general fatigue. In addition to technique, pitch, tone and range improvements I also offer performance prep with a focus on how to make a song your own. A little about my history - over 1000 students and counting over my career - local Bay Area band leader and performer - trained at the Berklee College of Music in Boston MA - former teacher at the Blue Bear Music School in San Francisco - former teacher at the Banana's At Large in San Rafael I offer a first-lesson discount 25% discount. Thanks for checking me out! I'm located in the Greenbrae/Larkspur area of Marin, just 5 mins from 101, 8 mins from Richmond bridge, 15 mins from Golden Gate Bridge.

I've been taking singing lessons with Cherie for about a year. I've always wanted to perform at open mics and maybe start a band but I knew I had some work to do before feeling confident. So I started singing lessons with Cherie to help prepare me for performance but we also spent a lot of time growing my voice. I realized I had a much bigger range than I'd thought. BTW - I'm also a beginner guitarist and we sometimes have guitar lessons too. She's a great guitarist and singer. So I really feel like she's the best out there for that type of work. If you want to not only work on your voice but learn how to perform and have a fun time in general - I'd book Cherie for lessons. She's a pro :-)

I'm a total beginner but I've always wanted to work on my voice, so I could sing songs for fun. Cherie has helped me get much further along than I'd hoped. She makes it easy to become a better singer. We do a lot of work with songs, she uses a sing-along tool that she customizes just for your voice it's very helpful. Sometimes songs can seem out of reach but she can customize them to fit your voice. We do about half exercises and half songs, it's a nice balance to help with range and technique. I look forward to my lessons every week.
