Learning to Listen

Not to toot my own horn but I’m friends with some of the most coolest and most accomplished singers and voice experts on the planet.

And one of them is Valerie Day. Do you know her?

In addition to being an expert on voice, music careers and band leadership, she’s also a great writer, a grammy nominated singer. She’s had a long career and that is a sign that she’s doing things right.

I was perusing her blog today and found this article. It touches on a skill I believe we can build as singers and musicians EVEN when we don’t FEEL like singing.

(like during a time of global pandemic…

or when we’re experiencing unprecedented political and racial unrest…

and top it off…during the gloomy PNW winter)

This prayer, written in the early 1930s by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, contains deep wisdom.

Don’t believe in God? No problem. Just take out “God grant me” and replace with “I embody” and it becomes a powerful affirmation.
It’s the sentiment that’s important here.

It’s pointless to waste energy struggling against things that are out of your control, but it’s equally pointless to sit around and do nothing about things you can change.

Unfortunately – this is why it’s a prayer – this advice can be easier said than done.
