| In addition to performing, Simpson is also a gifted teacher. Her reputation locally and across the country, for her inspiring and celebratory approach to releasing the "ease of excellence" in performance, authenticity and self-expression is on the rise. Four years of rapidly increasing popularity as one of the Planet Bluegrass Annual Folks Festival Song School "performance gurus", has led to her being honored with a permanent home in their select family of instructors. | ||

"Maggie Simpson's workshops are invaluable to anyone who wants to bring emotional depth to their performance.
Her techniques allow you to find new layers of meaning in your songs. The process can be incredibly moving and
transformational. You will be inspired by her dynamic, yet gentle, personality and her incredible live performances.
Every time I'm around Maggie I get excited about my music and my life."
-Rick Brunner "This work is all about getting to the true essence of a song and allowing its purest potential to shine out in all directions. It's like this; you and your work are the prism. Maggie and her work are the light that shines through. It's what you want to be." -Sharron Barr-Docherty "Maggie walked me through a song I thought I knew. Now the song has so much more room in it; room for wonder and sun to come through. I want to bring every song to her." -David Wilcox "Maggie deftly and gently enables every performer to reach deep into themselves and tap emotions, feelings, experiences that allow their art to step up to an entirely new level. You will feel the difference in your performance immediately and your audience will as well. It's exhilarating, empowering, inspiring. I use what she imparts in her workshops as a touchstone over and over again in my performances. This is one seriously talented teacher!" -Beth Amsel (Voices on the Verge) Northhampton, Vermont "Maggie¹s students find out there is more inside themselves than they thought possible." Tim Van Schmidt, The Ticket Ft. Collins, Colorado "Maggie is one of the most amazing performance teachers and wonderful spirits in the whole world. My experience from her workshop completely changed my life. It's powerful stuff you take not only into your performances but into your everyday life. I wouldn't even be thinking about performing had I not met her when I did. I probably would have pawned my guitar and blindly continued on a path of silence." Karen Horran, Boulder, Colorado |
