October is here, and with it comes a bold burst of orange—the Studio’s inspiration colour of the month. Orange is the colour of optimism, independence, adventure, creativity, and fun—all the things we’re feeling as we move into this exciting new season of choir and private lessons. September gave us our momentum: we kicked off private […]

Welcome to October and our second month of exploring the colours of artistry! 🌟 This month’s colour is ORANGE—the colour of optimism, independence, adventure, creativity, and fun. You’ve already completed your first month of daily practice—amazing work! You’re beginning to see and feel the benefits of showing up consistently for your art. Now, as we

Red is the colour of courage, and this week we are carrying that spark into our lessons, our practice, and our daily lives as artists. Courage is not about being fearless—it’s about stepping forward even when you feel uncertain. It’s about TRUSTING yourself, TRUSTING the process, and DARING to try something new. Think of a

They think you just open your mouth and sing. They don’t get it.” She was right to be frustrated. Because they don’t get it. They don’t

I didn’t always put my vocal health first. When I first started teaching, I would be two weeks into the school year and—without fail—I’d lose my voice.  Even worse, I’d end up sick with a cold or sinus infection that would knock me off my feet.  In the whirlwind of getting started with new students,

I’m sure this has happened to you—you’re scrolling through Instagram or Facebook and come across a meme, mantra, or quote that really resonates. You think, “I need to remember that.” But the thing is…I never remember them. Or I get the gist but not the exact wording, and then I end up wasting way too
