2012 – Happy New Year

Posted on | December 31, 2011 | No Comments

Tonight is New Year’s Eve, and I am contemplating what I might like to do with 2012. Continue my gym attendance. Talk with more singing teachers – iron sharpens iron! Cook new recipes. Sing more.

Teaching all day means that I warm up, and then teach, occasionally singing to demonstrate but mostly listening and teaching.  I find I lack the time to focus on my voice for extended periods, yet spend my days encouraging my students to work on their voices. So in 2012 I am encouraging myself to sing. One thing I changed this year was to say yes when singing opportunities arose, and I sang at four performances between September and December, after a break from performing of over a year and a half. I love performing, and this is my vocal resolution for 2012. More singing. There is nothing like having a performance coming up to motivate you to “find the time”.

Take your singing somewhere new this year. What is your vocal goal for 2012? To join your lower and upper registers? Create a mixed sound? Learn how to belt (safely)? Create your own unique sound?  Learn stronger performance skills or work through performance anxiety? Maybe it is just to get your body around breathing and alignment support once and for all? Whatever your desire is for your voice, it is my passion to assist you to make it happen.

Vacancies exist for 2012, so contact me and enquire about a timeslot. Happy New Year!
