Voice.

Find your voice.

When I tell people what I do for a living so many people say, "I wish I could sing. You must be so talented. You wouldn’t want to hear me sing." I find this quite sad, and it motivates me to want to help people.

Jo Estill quote: 
“More people want to sing than do sing.”

I was having a blood test one day, the nurse asked me what I do... “I’m a singer and singing teacher.” She said, "I could never sing." I replied, "Well I could never take blood and do what you’re doing, 'cos I haven’t learnt how or spent any time doing it." She was most happy with my comparison.

We came to the resolve that it's what you spend time doing that makes you better at it. Innate talent is advantageous but not the be all and end all.

As my PT says, “'Time in the movement'” is what improves skill. I believe this relates to learning music as well.
