Pattie Kelly, Vocal Instructor

My students range from amateur enthusiasts involved in community choirs and ensembles, to active professional performers and recording artists in the areas of pop, jazz, rock, classical and opera. Here are some testimonials on what Sensible Vocal Training has meant for them:

“Pattie Kelly has an intrinsic understanding of vocal mechanics that allows anyone to overcome their technical challenges. More importantly, it is her passion for ‘voice’ in all of its facets – artistic, psychological, emotional – that teaches you about yourself as a human being and as an artist. It takes a special kind of teacher to develop artistry by nurturing strength from vulnerability, and Pattie is one of those rare few.”

- George Civello

“It has been my great pleasure to be a student, and now a colleague, of Pattie Kelly. I began apprenticing as a singer and voice teacher with her about 9 years ago, and have found her understanding of vocal mechanics to be profound and highly articulate. She brings enjoyment, patience, humour, and inspiring challenges to the learning experience, while demonstrating her dedication to the student succeeding in achieving her/his goals. I have realized a significant increase in my vocal range, endurance and flexibility, which have enabled me to sing with ease and much more expressiveness. Singing is now fun! Thanks Pattie!” 

-Sue Crowe Connolly

“A few years ago, an illness left my voice weak and atrophied. Since working with Pattie, my voice is stronger than it ever has been and I experience easier vocal coordination. Without the stressful effort that I would use to make a certain sound, I now allow a more natural process to dictate the energies required. I highly recommend Pattie not only for her expertise in vocal instruction but also for her sensitivity and her sense of humour.”

-Robert Doze

“Her vast knowledge, friendly demeanor, familiar studio atmosphere and frequent master classes welcome students of any level or experience, and ensure all an honest investment in their vocal health and progress.”

- Melissa Haggart

“Pattie is as special a person as she is a teacher. Being with her is a joy and each week I am grateful she has come into my life.” 

- Michael Holt
