CEREMONIAL CONCERT: SOPHIA TUV & JACINTA PERCY

August 27, 2019 in artist performance

As singers and musicians, we are consciously and unconsciously competing with each other. To become the best and forget the rest. For me, this was true.

THE GIFT OF COMMUNITY

May 15, 2019 in guitar and piano

My Aunty had been telling me for years, “if you want to play the guitar, I would love to teach you.” I thought about it for some time. Then in July of 1996 at my Dad’s 40th birthday by some spark of magic, I was inspired to learn the acoustic guitar. There and then I asked my Aunty Anne about having music lessons, and we began the following week. These guitar lessons led me to the purchase of my dearest and longest-serving magic friend and instrument Iggy Ibanez!

Q & A: BREATHING

April 08, 2019 in breath workshops, q&a

Question:

I’ve enjoyed practising breathing with my tummy, and a question came up! Do you only breathe like this when singing, or has it become integrated into your life?

I’m noticing that after I practice my body doesn’t know when to stop breathing like this. When I’m doing other things, I feel a funny little flip into diaphragm breathing.

INTRODUCING: BREATH OF LIFE WORKSHOP

February 02, 2019 in breath workshops

While sitting in meditation at a Vipassana retreat in India in 2014, I had a profound experience. For the first time in my life, I felt my breath breathing my body without any direction from my mind. This sensation was new to me; I realised how much I had been controlling my breath and trying to control my life.

CHRISTMAS/NEW YEARS BREAK

December 10, 2018 in music lessons, sound workshops

Dear Students,

I am taking a 2-week break from the music studio over the Christmas/New Years period. I want to express my sincere gratitude for all that was in 2018, as it was one of the best years the studio has had. Your continued support has allowed this to happen; without this, I wouldn’t be able to share my love of voice and music with the world.

Wooooo, what a big last few months it has been for me and all those who have been coming into the studio.
