Start your day with quiet time

We think it’s important to start your day with quiet time.  We like to take the dogs out to the backyard gazebo early in the morning with our coffee and just listen to the birds sing.   Recently a student asked me how to stay sane on a tour.   We talked about the need to carve out quiet time or alone time even if it’s just 15 minutes.   She mentioned how so many singers struggle with the crazy demands of a performance career and that this idea of quiet actually was a new idea for her.  It’s amazing how we calm down and become peaceful and focused when we listen to the nothingness around us.  Try this before you start your busy day meeting the demands of a busy singing career.
