What this blog is for :)

So I’m working on building my students a blog and this blog is supposed to take the place so they can download it on their phones and whatnot as a handbook for Sing and Relax studios. And coming up, Unleash the Hearts Academy. Sing and Relax is one on one lessons on a weekly basis focusing on personalized music goals in piano voice. I specialize in a lot of different things. Basically, if it’s just a little bit off the cuff, you know, strange or different, it’s what I do. So learning disabilities, anxiety. I only work with adults and we explore the inner child to be able to release what’s lost. So that calls for lots of different things. So personalized edu for Sing and Relax in the blog involves Ball del Canto, which is a breathing system I created during COVID 19 to be able to release tension from breath from COVID related breathing issues that turned into a whole different adventure, meaning that it was more useful than I could have ever dreamed. And it wasn’t just during the pandemic. Riveting ribbons, Ball Bel canto, Bubble bel canto and all these other things I’ve made for my students. For personalized independent music education. Unleash the Hearts has two to have that personalized music experience, but to work on duets and trios and work towards choruses and maybe even small full productions to be able to promote the idea of being able to practice role preparation, community connection, and even achieving some goals that maybe they haven’t achieved before because there wasn’t the support in place to help them do it. An example of this is dyslexia as another one of my specialties as I reverse music and I write it in color for students who are dyslexic, diagnosed and undiagnosed. I know within two seconds what’s going on with you the second you sit at a piano with that. So I figure, why can’t we have these beautiful musical productions that bring the community together to work on their goals, to support each other in a master class, sing in relaxed style, and then go ahead and give teachers a chance to be able to come in and learn something about how to educate people who think differently. There’s also going to be a bunch of science. I’ve written a lot of neurological science since I started my PhD back in 2019. Went from Laryngology to neurology. And I really believe that understanding the brain, the body and the heart is a big part of finding and freeing your voice in every capacity. So, yep, I’ll put some of that in there. Too. And this is to guide my students and anybody who would like to see a perspective from a teacher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who happens to have TBI sees in color and is on a mission to help the voices that we’re leaving in the dust.
