I’m Brenda Earle Stokes and I help busy singers and voice teachers achieve greater confidence and ease at the piano in just 20 minutes a day, so they can experience freedom in their teaching and performing without feeling overwhelmed and investing time in expensive private lessons.
My first instrument and both of my college degrees are in piano, and I always my facility on the piano for granted. Over the years, more and more singers and voice teachers have come to my private studio, frustrated and embarrassed by their lack of piano skills. I have developed a clear and concise method of curated skills that every singer needs, which are broken down into easy and manageable steps.
Gain more confidence and freedom at the piano in the most direct and cost-effective way possible!

Level 2: The Singer's Toolkit
We'll skip the useless material that is often taught in piano classes and go right for the skills that will help specifically singers and voice teachers in their studios immediately. The approach is direct, simple, and is a clear pathway to success at the keyboard.
Piano training is one of the most crucial skills that any singer or voice professional needs to have and is often lacking in singers of all styles. Many singers feel held back in their careers because they don't feel comfortable at the piano and aren't able to fully utilize it as a tool. This course has grown out of hundreds of hours of lessons, teaching singers how to be fully functional at the piano.
My approach is direct. There are no method books full of exercises that you'll never use. No fussy scale fingerings that you have to memorize. No random patterns to memorize. All you will learn are the skills that you can use in your everyday life as a singer, voice teacher or conductor.
