I am a singer who also writes, arranges and plays piano. I've been singing jazz since high school, so that is a definite influence on my style and playing. These days, though, I am also influenced by good pop or prog-rock arranging, and love songs with solid yet reflective lyrics. My passion is to merge meaningful lyrics with both an intense singing style and complex but evolving instrumental textures. I sometimes sing original songs, but also enjoy reinterpreting pop songs and standards in this way.
In addition to performing, I teach music (voice, piano and music/movement); my specialty is vocal technique. My hobbies and interests include yoga, meditation, whole food/vegetarian eating, reading, salsa dancing, making jewelry and playing games with friends.

I hope you are having a beautiful day!!! We are just about to take the first step into the unknown on the next part of our incredible journey. Our goal is to promote children to think for themselves and to give them strength, support, self-confidence and love so that they can grow up into adulthood without fear, doubt and with the belief that they can achieve anything and that there is nothing out of their reach. We want to give them the tools to bring those things to life, the knowing that they can do anything they set their minds too, absolutely anything. We need to allow children to be who they are without imposing our own beliefs onto them.
When we unleash our own creativity, our own passion, free from external sources, that is when we can to begin to find our own original ideas that could create the possibility of a better world. This project will be in the hands of children and it will be them that will create that possibility.
There is nothing more amazing as a child than to have encouragement to go beyond your boundaries and create something unexpected, we want to give children the ability to feel the unexpected but at their own hands, in their control, without doubt and with complete freedom. We will go on that journey with them through our photography and film to bring fun and joy into their hearts to show them what passion and a love of life can truly feel like.
Please subscribe to our site www. theopenmind. org/subscribe or become involved yourself!! help raise awareness and enable us to take this journey to as many children in the world as possible. Xxxx Anne & Lisa

Dad's back was bothering him too much the day leading up to Medievil Times, so he called and rescheduled it to be in May now. Closer to your birthday, actually. In other news, my roommate here, Oliver Cole, listened to your whole album and said he was very impressed with your musicianship and that he loved your voice/range and that he could tell that you knew what you were doing. :)
Just wanted to stop by and say Happy Easter! I hope you are wonderful. This is truly a wonderful time to be alive! We are surrounded by an endless amount of possibility! Lots of love Anne
I just wanted to share this press release with you in the hope that it will inspire you as much as it inspires me. To me Guy’s story proves that if we put our mind to it, we can achieve anything. Wishing you a beautiful day. Best wishes Anne.
Back On His Feet Despite All The Odds
In 2003 Guy Harris was involved in a road traffic accident where he suffered an L1 complete spinal cord injury, leaving him paralysed from the waist down. Doctors told him categorically that he would “never walk again.”
Within 5 months Guy was feeling sensations and kicking his legs. Within 10 months he was training to stand. Within 1 year he was learning to take steps on a frame. And today he is training to walk on crutches. All achieved naturally by utilising the power of his mind….
