Avoiding Playing-Related Injuries, plus Student Successes

Published: Tue, 05/30/23

Hi ,

NEW ON All Things Vocal:

Did you know that 90% of musicians will sustain a playing-related injury in their careers? That's almost all of us! Singers, whether you play or not, your body is your first instrument. Learn about the importance of improving muscle balance, strength and endurance in my interview with Angela McCuiston, founder of Music Strong:

CELEBRATING

STUDENTS SUCCESSES

Congratulations to Briana Domenica who received two Josie Awards nominations, to Tiffany Haseker who received three nominations, and to former student Stephanie Adlington for a nomination for Jazz/Blues (she won in 2021)! The Josie Music Awards is the largest music awards show in the independent music industry. Also, I just learned of another of my artist students, Lisa Richards, receiving 4 Josie Nominations as well as 4 nominations for the ISSA Awards (International Singer-Songwriters Association). Congratulations all, and good luck!

And finally, I'd like to celebrate the artist Jelly Roll. He came in for a few vocal lessons years ago, and now he's become a massive and beloved star, but the most important thing is that he is chosen to deliver messages that matter. Other artists I work with have performed with him on the road, and they say he is authentically kind and encouraging to them.

Here is the trailer to a documentary on him...
