Guilty as charged 🤭 It's Friday. Get loud!

Are we afraid of high notes? Are we afraid to sing in front of others? Are we afraid to speak with resonance? As teachers, we guide students to overcome these mental barriers that can hinder free phonation and creativity. The voice teacher’s mission is to guide the student to trust their own expressive and intuitive process. Learn what self-limiting beliefs may be impeding your progress at Inner Awakening Music Studio.

Mishu uses his one brain cell to help us strategize. .

Mr. Phil believes in connecting both mind and body. He integrates fitness, mindfulness, parkour concepts, and other modalities in his holistic approach to singing. In fact, not only is he a vocal coach, he is also a certified personal trainer, parkour coach, life coach, and reiki master, making him the perfect cheerleader to singers of all ages and backgrounds. 📣

It's that time of year! So excited to be having recitals again!🙂🙂

I couldn't agree more!!

To paraphrase our friend , “You’re not paying for my time. You’re paying for my brain. Time is the container my brain comes in.”


When we visit a hair stylist or an attorney or a car mechanic or a physical therapist, we’re not watching the clock. We just want to look good, know that the will is in order, get the oil changed, and correct our shoulder pain.


Some of these goals can be accomplished in one visit. Some will require many. But in no scenario is the duration of the appointment the goal. The desired outcome—functioning car, minimized pain, etc—is the goal. I’m not paying for 20 minutes with my physical therapist. I’m paying for the fact that she understands my problem and can help me solve it. Whether that happens in 20 minutes or 90 minutes, the time is not the point. It’s what I learn *during* the time.


The same is true for music lessons. We operate in increments of time, but we are not typically a time-based business. We are a goal-based business that uses time as a tool.


The point isn’t the time. The point is what happens *during* the time.



(With many thanks to Mike McDerment’s and of course for their help in making this mental shift.)
