NOTICE, DON’T JUDGE.

I tell this to myself and my students all the time, and I’m writing it here in case you need to hear it today. We all make mistakes. Our singing voices sometimes squeak, short out, or crack. Do not judge yourself or others. Just notice, and use it for information gathering to guide your practice.

It’s simple, and yet may be the work of our lives to approach unwanted sounds or performances with inquiry instead of judgement as we learn and grow.
