GIVING VOICE PROJECT

Connecting people to their voices and to each other

My name is Polly Baldridge, and Giving Voice Project, LLC, is an expansion of my work as a private voice teacher and coach, choral director, and sacred musician. It is a response to the perceived need for people to have safe and welcoming spaces to explore and express themselves, receive affirmation and support for pursuing their artistic goals, and connect with others across age, culture, belief, and life experience. Singing is not the only way that this can happen, but it is a powerful way to connect people and build community.
