Let’s talk GROWTH MINDSET ⬇️ (SAVE if you’re a student, teacher, parent, etc) & SWIPE ➡️ for a breakdown of this concept.

The first time I encountered this term, developed by psychologist, Carol Dweck, I was teaching as a subcontractor with a school. I was asking my amazing employer for advice with young students. I noticed some students simply felt overwhelmingly discouraged whenever things got difficult. I knew, as their teacher, it was my responsibility help them overcome this.

My employer suggested I read up on and come to a workshop they were having on growth mindset.

As an opera singer, it’s nearly impossible not to have a growth mindset. Even if I didn’t know what to call it. The capacity for growth has been proven before my very eyes time and again. If I listen to recordings, I can hear the improvement. Sometimes that improvement happens within the span of a few weeks. Certain passages of music that once felt impossible to execute become second nature eventually. I’ve almost always known that with enough practice and focus, I can get better.

But imparting that mindset to a young child is difficult work. It will not come naturally. Understandably so, when they can’t do what is asked of them, they may think they will never be able to do understand or perform the task. My teachers have instilled within me a growth mindset throughout the years and I have been absorbing it subconsciously.

I started doing little things and big things to foster this mindset in my students. And I started doing these things for myself. (Hey, everyone can benefit from some growth mindset exercises at every stage. ☺️)

I practice goal-setting and progress evaluation with students. I replace “excellent” or “lovely” with “good work,” and I remind them, (often !) that I’ve been taking voice lessons for 12 years and still do!

I learn and change at a similar pace to them which is part of what is so exciting about artistic development and education.

Hung up posters for virtual voice lessons today! There is still quite enough room this September. Please message me if you’re interested!

3 reasons to take voice lessons that have nothing to do with showing off at karaoke! Although that certainly doesn’t hurt!

🎶Gain a deeper understanding for the music you hear everyday.
The sounds coming from your radio, the music in church, the showtune in your favorite musical—there is so much beneath the surface just waiting to be understood and explored. I know the more I learn about theory, the mechanism of the voice, etc, the more I appreciate and fully experience the music around me. Music is enjoyed by everyone, but musicians are granted further access to that joy.

🎶Engage with your innermost thoughts and feelings in a productive manner.
I can’t begin to tell you how many times a voice lesson, performance, or rehearsal was just what I needed. In times of heartbreak and hardship music has been an outlet for me to express myself. I’ve sang songs about heartbreak when I was going through it & I can’t imagine my healing any other way. The absolutely visceral nature of singing grants us freedom that little else can replicate.

🎶Develop your mind, body, breath connection. Singing is physical, emotional, mental, & for many, spiritual. It involves the constant coordination & regulation of our breath. I know that the ever present ability to control my breath has made me feel much more grounded in anxious situations. It has also made me a better yogi!

I filmed this tonight to share with you all! It's a piece I've often sang for Cabarets. The video premieres tomorrow morning! If you enjoy it, please share it with friends!

"So Many People" from Saturday Night by Stephen Sondheim I hope you enjoy this video, and share it with your friends if you do! I came to this song when I was 19 years old, now at 24, having been in and out of love...

Hello everyone! I'm so happy you're here. Please watch the video I made in order to learn more about my studio!
