Reconnect With Your Voice

Do you need to reconnect with your voice? Everyone has times when they are feeling a bit down with their singing. Maybe even to the point where you’ve stopped singing entirely. Sometimes that’s because of external factors (like a pandemic!) out of our control.

A Wicked Review

There’s a lot of fuss made about Wicked. It’s been a hit ever since it opened on Broadway in 2003. It has won many, many awards. So I definitely had high expectations.
