Barb Sopotyk, songwriter & manager - Quickshift
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
"We generally are satisfied when we take a workshop and walk away with one thing that is helpful. Brenda far exceeded this expectation and has left the band members, both individually and collectively, with very specific knowledge, including what we need to do, what not to do and how to apply our new knowledge in a way that is manageable as we continue to build our live performance."
Sylvia Chave,
songwriter & children's entertainer Prairie Music Award Nominee Western Canadian Music Award Nominee Delisle, Saskatchewan, Canada
"Having Brenda out [to Delisle] to cap the songwriting seminar with a coaching session was perfect. From seasoned performers to beginners, everyone had something to learn about their performance."
Garth Noseworthy, songwriter & children's entertainer Just Kiddin' Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
"Not only was your workshop well done and extremely informative, but it hit directly home for the type of show that Just Kiddin' performs. It reinforced the basic notion that people are not just at a performance to hear the music but are there to be entertained visually and emotionally."
Sarah Ostafie, singer-songwriter Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
"I had the good fortune of participating in a series of performance coaching sessions facilitated by Brenda Baker. I found the sessions to be very informative and have already used a lot of what Brenda shared with me."
