Prof. Olga Boczar Voice Institute

After a little health pause, still recovering a bit, but it feels so good to be back on track ❤️
See you tomorrow, jazz students at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts ❤️🌺

Healthy voice habits start with knowing when to use your voice and when to give it deserved rest 🧘🏻‍♀️🎤
Practice when your body feels awake, hydrated and free from irritation. Mornings after gentle warm ups or early afternoons are usually ideal. Keep sessions focused rather than long and always listen to subtle signs of fatigue 👀

Silence also can become your best friend when you’re sick, tired or experiencing hoarseness. After intense vocal load (concerts, performances, teaching, long rehearsals) allow yourself silent time so your vocal folds can recover. Remember that whispering is not rest - opt for true silence or very soft, easy speech when it’s needed.

A balanced cycle of mindful practice and intentional silence keeps your voice flexible, strong and ready for performance 💪🏻

“Many musicians thinks that Music is made up of notes. They forget that notes are just a part of Music, and a small part at that” ✨ Notes are essential in music. They form the structure, the language through which ideas are communicated. But if musicians focus only on the notes, they risk losing sight of the soul of the piece. It’s important to remember that music is not just about playing notes. It’s about expressing emotions, telling a story, and connecting with the listeners. Without feeling, notes are just a plain sounds ❤️

As a passionate walker and hiker, I always recommend walking for singers 🚶‍♀️🎶
It supports deep, relaxed breathing, improves posture and stamina, reduces tension, and builds body awareness (everything we need for better vocal control and expression)
Plus, it’s the best mental reset! It clears your mind and helps to ease performance anxiety before the show ❤️🔥

You should never loose the groove in order to find a note 📝
