May 15-18 - ESPRIT CONFERENCE

Pt. Angeles, Washington, will again host the annual Esprit Conference for the TG community in the middle of May.
I will be presenting 2 workshops with my collaborative partner, Kathe Perez, sharing tips and techniques that help TG women work with the patterns, rhythms, and flow of their voices. Once again, I am thrilled to bring more music and creative expression into my portion of these workshops. Playful singing and ear training is a wonderful way to facilitate the transitions these women face.
Private coaching will be available at the conference site.

Please visit the Esprit website for all the details.

LYNN SKINNER - IN BRIEF

Musical diversity is one of Lynn Skinner's finest assets. Originally from Denver, Lynn spent most of the '70s singing choral, classical, musical theatre, and pop styles in Los Angeles, Tacoma, and Seattle. In 1978 she earned a B.A. in music and began appearing as a singer/songwriter in the Seattle area. Lynn returned to Denver in the early '80s, eager to take on jazz and improvisational music. She has since established herself nationally as a dynamic jazz and eclectic vocalist with a 3 1/2 octave range. She also enjoys presenting theme concerts of other artists from around the world.

For over 30 years, Lynn has toured as a performing artist and voice coach in such places as New York, Boston, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Boise, San Francisco, Portland, Santa Fe, St. Louis, The British Isles, and France.

In the recording studio, Lynn has been a leader and background vocalist on nearly a dozen projects. She created "Vocal Eyes Music" as a business and record label, and continues offering a full palette of musical styles to audiences worldwide. She has recorded classical, jazz, original, folk, new age and acappella styles.

SONG PORTRAITS:
CUSTOM-MADE SONGS FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL

Lynn is happy to announce a new "wing" that has just been added to her Vocal Eyes Music business.

SONG PORTRAITS are musical compositions created especially for a bride, groom, wedding couple, spouse, parent, child, or friend celebrating a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or other special event.

The first stage of this creative gift is an interview process with the people who have commissioned the song.

In the second stage, Lynn composes the music and lyrics to suit the characteristics and unique features of her "subject" (often provided in secret by family and friends in order to surprise the person that the song will be created for).

The final stage is recording the song on a CD, given as a keepsake. Lynn may also perform the song live at a wedding or special event, if requested.

This is the perfect wedding gift, and also a great way to celebrate the story or particular memory of a loved one through song.
