Practice!!!

I was asked this week if, as a singer, I was a prodigy or a virtuoso. Although this particular concert patron posed his question in a more unique way, I am often asked how I developed the singing skills I have. My response to the patron was and is pretty much always the same – my singing skills are the product of a combination of academic studies, years of twice-weekly private lessons, and countless hours of practice. I can assure you there is no shortcut to developing your skills as a musician.

Now get to work!
