Your student feels frustrated.

They’re struggling to learn, they’re beating themselves up, and you don’t always know how to help them.

You can relate, and you want to make it better for them. But it’s hard!

Sometimes, the things you tell your students put them at ease, and you can move forward together. (Choir: Major triad “AH”)

But sometimes...not so much. They know there’s a learning bump in the road, and you’re not sure how to get past it.

What can you do with those students who just seem to struggle? And what if I told you that it’s the VERY SAME THING that keeps your talented students from practicing?

Today we’re going to talk about HOW people learn (yup...brain science) and HOW you can use that to deliver for your students!

This week’s FREEBIE is a link to my brand-new post,

   • How To Deal With Your Students Vocal Problems  

➡️ Meredith Colby has been teaching “microphone” singers...people who sing in bands, singer/songwriters, and music theater people...for over 30 years. As a veteran band singer of over 10,000 hours onstage, she knew there had to be a way to get singers a healthy way to sound awesome, even when they can’t hear themselves. Studying brain science and putting it together with what she has learned about singing (and voices) she created The Neuro-Vocal Method. Her book is called Money Notes: How to Sing High, Loud, Healthy, and Forever. She teaches voice teachers, pro singers, adult singers, and present for groups.
