When the temperature drops this low, your skin dries out - you've probably noticed you're a little itchier than normal.
Your vocal cords are made of skin too - and they need your help to stay healthy in this cold and dry weather! Make sure you're drinking at least 2 liters of water every day - more, if you're also consuming significant amounts of caffeine of alcohol.

While individual, in-person music lessons are allowed under current health restrictions, we understand not everyone is comfortable with face-to-face instruction right now.
We’re happy to offer lessons via your preferred video conferencing app. Once things get rolling again, make sure you can impress your friends and loved ones with the new skills you picked up during the pandemic!

It’s not a magic potion, or luck of the draw... the best results always come from the same tried-and-true formula: practice + more practice.
