Yesterday as I was in reflection You’re trying to figure out your way in this music business and the more you work at it the more it may feel like you’re drowning. Sometimes it looks like a clear path when out of nowhere a roadblock pops up. So you ask around for guidance but you get conflicting advice. If you’re not careful you can really find yourself lost with no answers.
As a teacher I love when students challenge me. If I hear from one of them that they were told something I’m teaching is harmful or weird or wrong I am grateful. They trust me enough to share what they have heard or learned from someone else. They have placed a rock in my path and finding out more about it only makes me better at my craft. I am grateful that I have associates, vocal therapists, and doctors I trust around the world to verify or correct my teaching methods. When someone questions what you are doing with your music, you may have a kneejerk defense. These are the rocks that are forcing you to stop and listen. Talk to those you trust and respect to help you back on a smooth path. We are all on this river together. Let’s try to make it smooth sailing for everyone.

I’m so excited to be offering a chance for 5 ReverbNation artist winners to join me! The next “Vocal Lessons Aren’t Boring!” online course starts November. This is an international competition. Details can be found here.
I’ve already starting listening to the artist submissions and it’s going to be difficult choosing winners with so much great talent! Not a ReverbNation member yet? Sign up here! Photo by Jordan Whitfield on Unsplash
The minutes tick by, the hours fly, the days merge, the weeks turn into months until you find yourself years later with not much to show for the passage of time. Do something constructive. Create something every day. Love someone before you can’t. Forgive someone right now. Work harder at living and life will reward you. I know you’re scared of what the future may bring. But you can be present when you work at what you love to do. Sing, practice, play, write, create. |
