| "Confidence comes from control. Control comes from choices. Choices come from coaching. Choose well!" |
| Are Music Lessons for You? Do you wonder if you are 'on pitch' or not when you sing? Do you get hoarse or experience discomfort when singing? Do you enjoy 'noodling' around on a piano or keyboard? Does your voice crack, skip or flip when you are singing? Do you secretly dream of performing on stage-at church, in the school talent show, karaoke, in a club, etc, but are afraid or don't know where or how to start? Do you wish you had more choices on how to use your voice? |
