Excerpts:
“The voice is a healing tool and our unique imprint on the world. The more you learn to love the sound of your voice, the more you honor your unique song”.
“A piano student struggled to play “Moonlight Sonata”. Frustrated, he didn’t understand why he continued to make mistakes. I asked him if anyone had ever criticized him as a child. He said he had an uncle who made fun of him and gave him the nickname “Ting,” for the quiet timid way he would “ting, ting” on the guitar. This sounds a bit ironic from a man who is over six feet tall, 240 pounds. I knew right away this response signaled creative child abuse. Those seemingly harmless words indicated a much deeper emotional bruise.”
“In order to be creative and truly ourselves, we have to be willing to be the fool.”
