Words hold immense power, Part 1! Once, I dreamed of joining my church choir, convinced of my strong baritone voice. When I shared this idea with a friend, she cautioned me, suggesting my voice might not fit. That moment dampened my passion for music generally. Today, I regret not giving it a try. I lack musical skills and can't even play any musical instruments. Though unintended, her words had a lasting impact on my musical aspirations. Let's always uplift others' dreams. If something seems daunting, offer encouragement instead of doubt. Your words can shape destinies without you even realizing it. Never let others' opinions define you. Embrace your ideas boldly. Even if you stumble, it's a valuable learning experience, not a mark of failure. #StayMotivated #HopeAlive

Music can empower and inspire people to work in unison. At times it is a great source of promoting peace and preventing conflict.

Should you learn from the MASTERS⁉️… When I was in college studying voice, a common theme among my teachers was to sing in your own way. They advised against listening to other renditions of a song you're trying to learn and suggested relying solely on your voice and the sheet music. This was 20 years ago. Fast forward to today, with advancements in technology and evolving practices, I largely disagree with this approach. While the old method might work for some, I believe it isn't the best advice for most singers. To become great, you must first emulate the greats. 1️⃣ 🎵 If you aspire to be an exceptional classical singer with an amazing voice, it's beneficial to listen to renditions by renowned opera singers like Maria Callas, Jessye Norman and Renée Fleming, just to name a few. These professionals have honed their craft over many years, and you can learn from their nuances, tempos, and rhythms. Having a point of reference helps you understand where your voice fits and what audiences appreciate. 2️⃣ 🎶 Relying solely on sheet music and your voice can feel like driving blind; you might struggle with style, direction, and audience preferences. If you're serious about becoming a great opera singer, start by listening to your favorite renditions. 3️⃣ 🌟 Ensure you choose singers with similar voice types and ranges. Picking voices too different from your own can be challenging and unproductive. Follow those whose voices align with yours and who have achieved what you aspire to. #VocalMastery #VocalTechnique #ClassicalVoice 🎥 Heather promotion concert 🎶 full song here ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3woK97C
