Hello, my name is Pat Balder and I have been a full-time professional musician since I was 21. I can teach you how to sing, play guitar, write songs, produce songs, and play in a band. My students have real world results and some have booked paid gigs.

Pat is extremely knowledgeable—has taught me so much regarding vocal range! He is a very interactive teacher—everything he teaches, he also uses himself!

Pat Balder is an exceptional singing teacher. His training and background see him combining the best parts of traditional and contemporary vocal practice. He has built his own approach, merging parts of other disciplines such as SLS, Estil, Opera and more. Even online he has been able to work bringing my voice to a level at which I am thrilled - Ive found the voice I always wanted. Pat has a great ear for hearing the parts of your voice that need refining, and even online he notices subtle physical nuances. Hes also an amazing singer who can do almost any style. And hes a kind-hearted, charming guy. I couldnt recommend him more!

Ive rarely had a teacher who listens so well and adjusts, on the fly to, not only what my goals are, but what he knows to be useful and productive content. Well worth it!
