Who are We?
I
put up this website in June of 2000, and in the last 13 years, I have met and coached thousands of
wonderful singers all over
the world.
Even though I didn't have much
experience in web design, I had a purpose!!! And that was to reach as
many singers, old and young, amateur and professional with the things I
knew about the
gift of singing! And once I began talking to singers all
over the world and helping them to fulfill their dreams...WHATEVER THAT
DREAM WAS, we, as a group began to change...ourselves and the world
around us.
Life threw us a few curves and
detours, but we are BACK with a new purpose and a whole new attitude!
You want to sing???
We are here to make sure you get to do just THAT!!
For I truly believe that the reason
we have been graced with the gift of singing, is to share it and heal an
often broken world. every time we lift our voice in song, whether from a
glorious stage, or own own bedroom, somewhere, someone is touched in a
positive way.

"He
who lets his breath, hence his life force, flow consentingly as a willing sound
sacrifice from the depths of his body, sings his life; for singing means to
affirm life, to free oneself, and thereby to bring happiness and prosperity to
oneself, and consequently to one's fellow man."
Marius Schneider

Chrys's Sunday Soirees
Starting July 7th, 2013 - Professional Singers are
invited to work on their performances in a safe and friendly
environment which consists of their peers here in Albuquerque.
We get feedback from each other on which routines are most
workable and which songs to sing in our act. All Singers are
welcome to the soiree, which will be held every 3 weeks starting
July 7. Mark your calendars! (Small fee if you are singing- free
to guests)
Finishing

more...Due date on this book is October, 2013.
Vocal workshops open to singers of all

Beginning, intermediate and advanced students of voice gather
together for vocal instruction, stage presence, attitude, song
choice, and a host of other related subjects. Classes are held
on Monday evenings in my studio, maximum of 8 students per
class. (Fee)
Online gatherings
using Google Hangout, Skype meetings, etc.
If you are shy and wish an online lesson but do not live in the
area, Skype is your answer. All you need is webcam and a
microphone. My clients tell me this method is just the same as
having me in the room. Try it!

and wants it BACK, I can help!!
|
|
Sing Your
Life specializes in finding lost voices and we serve these
people, who show us miracles every day!
At an age
where most people would be thinking it's kinda crazy to be
studying singing, here are 70 and 80 year-olds breathing deeply
and emitting their "sound sacrifice" to the universe! Or
12 year old little girls who secretly and ever so quietly sing
in their bedrooms to the mirror when they don't think anyone's
around who can hear them, suddenly will find their voice and
assert it for the first time....It's amazing to witness this...
So, when we invite you to join our "family" of singers, we are
not kidding around! We take it very seriously! We commit
ourselves to your success, not just materially, but mentally and
emotionally, whatever "success" means to you.
Sin[g]cerely,
Chrys |

Jazz trio, the "Chrys Page Trio" featuring some wonderful world
class musicians, Micky Patten on Bass and Al De Marco on
guitar, We appear at a variety of venues all around the
Albuquerque area. |

Back in the 60's I sang with my first trio at THE GRAND HOTEL
in Anaheim, California.
The above shot of me with my trio called,
"Three's Company", long before the TV sit-com, Ha Ha! The
gentleman at the piano my friend and seriously brilliant Jazz
pianist, Barney McClure, whose Bill Evans-style of playing gave me
an early appreciation of musical theory, chords, voicings, etc.
Every singer should know some music theory, especially, the keys
he or she sings in, and the form and structure of a song. It
commands respect from your fellow musicians when you know the
music you are performing.
