There are so many topics I’d like to write about here that I really struggled with what I should post first after my summer hiatus this year– until a friend and fellow teacher shared this Ted Talk video on Facebook.

I find that I personally learn a lot more about singing from sources not aimed at singers–and I think you’ll see what I mean after viewing this video.  Watch it, keeping in mind those things that keep you from being the singer you wish to be.  Brene Brown gives us a unique overview of all the core elements that keep us from living the life we’d choose–and of course these very same things hold us back from our potential as singers.  I found myself laughing out loud several times and by the end of the talk, was so moved–that I came right here to post.
