Musical Instruments And Teachers near Golden

“TL;DR: Katie is PHENOMENAL, and if you’re even half way considering voice lessons, you’d be doing yourself a massive disservice by not working with her.

Growing up, I always got told I had my dad’s voice. He always got razzed that he was tone deaf, and got kicked out of choir class in 2nd grade for “goofing around” but he legit just really couldn’t sing.

I have loved singing my whole life, but I only did it around people who I was super close with and felt really safe with cuz I felt like I sounded like a dying cat. Well, my partner noticed how much I sing along to music at home doing random things, and started suggesting (rather frequently) that I try voice lessons. I got to a point where I agreed just to shut him up about it.

He researched teachers, and set me up with Katie. On my way there the first day, I was terrified-in a cold sweat, throat muscles constricting so much it felt like I was choking almost, and on the phone with my best friend in tears because I was so scared to sing in front of someone and “try.”

When I got there, Katie’s bubbly, welcoming demeanor was extremely comforting. I shared my backstory with her, and she sang with me almost the entire first lesson, which helped put me at ease.

I’ve done ~7 sessions with her. I’m astounded on how much my voice has improved, how she’s coached me thru finding resonance in different registers (which I knew NOTHING about) confidently, and made it feel like play the whole way through.

Not only has my singing improved, but I’ve also noticed a capacity boost in speaking up for myself, and also strengthening the singing muscles has helped significantly with some long-standing neck pain.

Katie is incredibly talented, genuinely cares about your progress (encourages me to record and send things I’m struggling with when I’m practicing between sessions-she responds expediently), and is an absolute joy to spend time with. Incredibly grateful I got her on the first shot because I think a poor experience would have completely deterred me.

I also feel I need to mention how technically sound she is. She always has 3-5 different options to get you into the resonance that’s needed. Having the variety when one doesn’t click we just go to the next til I hit it has been extremely instrumental in my progress.

Long story short, take lessons with Katie-I really can’t imagine anyone having a disappointing experience with her.“

“Stopped in here spontaneously a while back. Awesome store with tons of stuff you can't find elsewhere (misc. nuts, saddles, bridge pins, picks, etc. for guitars. Cool cat working that day, too. But sucks I hauled @$$ from Denver today to make it before close at 6:00, made it at 5:50, only to find they were closed already anyway. Just needed picks & strings for a gig in town tonight. Not a deal-breaker, but took the jam right out of my donut. ? $h!t happens. Still the best music ship around.“

“Great engineering firm. Recommend them for any NDT of concrete testing or equipment sales.They can help with almost any issue related to concrete. If you dont want to hire them they also offer all the equipment for sale. Most are so simple that no training is required.“
