Vocal goals: motivation and planning

The New Year is just getting underway.

As I write so my ears are drawn to the rush of traffic outside - even amongst the restrictions that the pandemic imposes, life goes on. And so it must.

Singers who study within The Voice School will be aware that the wheels that drive all lessons, classes, events, and mentoring groups are about to start rolling. I'm advising that each should take the broader view and imagine not just the beginning of their year's journey, but to envisage where they might wish to arrive at the end of it.

Everyone agrees that 2020 was the strangest of years. Life - interrupted. Yet, within The Voice School, once we had regrouped and restructured - put a virtual plan in place for community and connection with plenty of singing to boot - it was one of the busiest of my 35+ years teaching career. 

A steep learning curve as to how to overcome problems,  implementing, and using technology to the advantage of all the singers. What an endeavour ... But, 2020 culminated in a fabulously positive way with The Voice School Hub's Star Candles project, a vocally creative triumph for all the singers who committed wholeheartedly to the spirit of collaboration. Community and communication.

And now, 2021 begins. It'sessential to take stock and to allow the indulgence of making plans. How will your singing year shape up? What direction do you want it to go? How will you weave it into your every day, not as an added extra, but keep it close to your being, your vocal soul? What will you do to keep singing?

Time most definitely does not stand still.
