Patrice Rasmussen is a most dedicated person. She strives to get the best possible out of you. She is never worried about the clock during a lesson. Most times, she spent over 2 hours working with me during my 1 hour lesson. She was determined to help me to perfection. She is well schooled in her music career. She was able to help me correct several bad habits and offered such a positive attitude about my abilities that I had no question about them. To boot, she was not working with a young voice that had already had lots of training. That was not even a consideration for her. She expected the best out of me and it helped me so much to be able to deliver it. Patrice is a gifted person and would do wonders with a new student with no bad habits. As for what would have improved my experience, I would have liked to spend more time on singing and less on learning, but I understand that is not necessarily possible in a limited time period where so much must be learned.
