You gotta jump in to swim

You can't learn to swim by poking your toes in the water, and the same goes for learning how to sing. You just have to jump in. Yeah, i know just like the rest of you that having lessons is not as easy as you first might have thought. It's work, and for some people, singing in front of their teacher feels a bit like taking off all of your clothes and saying "well, here i am!". But, if you didn't really want to do it, if you thought it was a waste of time, you wouldn't be there. There's something inside you which drives you to be there every lesson, and as confronting as it feels, you come back again for more next lesson. So, what is it? It's the secret singer inside of you. It's the singer whom you bring out when you're alone at home, when you know no-one can hear you. The singer who isn't shy or worried about making mistakes. If your internal singer makes a mistake, well they just move on. Then they retrace their steps and try a new approach. i can guarantee you that it's THAT singer your teacher wants to work with. It's THAT singer who can make the real changes to improve your craft, and make it more rewarding for you. And it's THAT singer who has the potential to do great things. So what if you're naturally a quiet and reserved person. Everyone, take your inner, secret singer out, and at least let them have a go during your lessons. smiles to you all, Tania
