In her professional theatrical career, Judy Armstrong, B.Mus., N.T.S., is a gifted and versatile artist who has inspired thousands of people from around the world. Her credits which number over 3000 presentations range from television, including special guest appearances with the late Danny Kaye (CBS-TV, Hollywood) and featured performances on CBC-TV Specials (such as, Wayne and Shuster, Music Canada Series, Christmas Specials), to dinner theaters, concert stage and world-class conventions.

As a keynote speaker, Judy has presented energizing and inspirational talks throughout Canada, USA and Aruba. Judy was awarded the Brian Lee, C.S.P. CAPS Presentation Mastery Award for speaking excellence. With her unique Musical Keynotes in 'concert style', Judy combines her professional career in theater, music and national television, with her work in Psychology of Vision® to deliver energizing messages (Musical Keynotes). With a profound understanding of the transformational process, she helps people remove the blocks which prevent them from realizing and expressing their unlimited potential.

Judy's work with sound, healing, global peace and harmonizing the emotional, physical and spiritual well-being of the whole person has led her to compose, produce and perform six unique recordings. The lyrics of Judy's music contain the essence of her message. Judy also works with her husband, Tink Robinson, in writing music, performing, recording, keynote speaking, coaching and facilitating workshops.

Tink and Judy are well known for their popular theatrical shows in Heritage Fort Steele, BC, Canada where, for 13 summer seasons until 1989, they produced, wrote, directed and performed at the Wild Horse Theater. Audiences loved listening to Judy sing and then watch her transform from her beautiful 1890's gown to play the outrageously funny old 'Granny', a character she created at the Fort and which she often uses in her work to help people laugh at themselves. Judy sings, speaks and creates songs to awaken the remembrance of your inner knowing. She inspires you to rediscover and express your own sound or note, the unique being that you are - the Voice within you. 

 "Judy ... uplifts one's soul and being ... and helps me rejoice to be alive."
MARK VICTOR HANSEN - Co-author of Bestseller Series, Chicken Soup for the Soul

JUDY ARMSTRONG - PROGRAMS

CONCERTS

Judy offers 2 different kinds of concert experiences: One is entertaining and the other is meditative.

The first (45 to 90 minutes) is energizing, uplifting and fun and includes songs that she has
written and recorded. Her music embraces a variety of styles from powerful and inspirational
to big band swing to soft and nurturing to comedic and silly to native and rhythmic. The
concerts, designed to inspire and lighten you up, are full of audience participation and
laughter. Of course, Judy's 'Granny' character brings her zany and outrageous humor into the mix ...

The second experience is serene and meditative (approximately an hour) which invites
you to go within and listen to your hearts knowing. Judy guides your inner journey by singing some of her soft, nurturing songs and speaking as she is intuitively guided to share in each moment. This is a time for letting go and enriching the soul.
