Why Confident Voice Studio?

Why did I name the business with the word “voice” in it if we were going to teach other instruments like piano, ukulele, guitar and songwriting?

Let me share my thinking with you.

Confidence is defined as a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities.

“Voice” is defined as

  • the right to expression in spoken or written words, or by other means
  • the right to present and receive consideration of one’s desires or opinions
  • an expressed opinion or choice
  • an expressed will or desire
  • expressed wish or injunction

A studio is a room or place for instruction or experimentation in one of the performing arts

Confidence isn’t just about singing or playing an instrument.

And neither is our studio. Though we focus on musical and performing arts related programs, we’re incorporating success principles, habit development, resilience, communication, emotional intelligence, growth mindset, and more into our client’s training. Younger students don’t realize it but benefit. Adult students appreciate the well-rounded education they are receiving.

Just knowing how to play or how to sing isn’t enough.

Because we may not play or sing as a career or even through our lives. But knowing how to stand tall, proudly, express oneself, and appreciate who we are and what we bring to the table, how to bounce back after a mistake or “failure” and how to set goals, make plans to achieve them, take action and adjust when there are obstacles (and there are always obstacles)…well, that’s the way you make a life you love.

After 14 years of solo entrepreneurship, a career as a certified professional coach, a twice-published author, a recording artist, an awarded business consultant, producer, director, writer, performer, choreographer, costumer, and a voice teacher and performance coach, I know that joy comes from making your dreams a reality and it’s impossible to do that if you don’t believe in yourself and have a support team of friends, family, and teachers and mentors around you.

And that’s what we help our clients and students do at Confident Voice Studio.

And it’s our purpose on the planet and our deepest joy to teach, coach and guide our clients toward their goals, however big or small they may be.

It’s an honor and a privilege.

How To Help Your Child Stop Negative Self-Talk

How To Help Your Child Stop Negative Self-Talk

All children occasionally criticize themselves. However, if their inner voice consistently uses poor language towards them, it may have a negative impact.

Negative self-talk can take many forms. It can seem realistic, such as “I’m not that good at this, so I shouldn’t really bother trying it,” or it can sound outright cruel, like “I can never do anything right!”. It may appear to be a realistic assessment of a situation at hand (e.g., “I barely passed that test. I guess I’m really not good at math.”), but it can quickly turn into a terrible declaration (“I’ll probably fail this class and never get into university”).

This negative self-talk disrupts our children’s productivity and life goals. If they constantly have negative thoughts in their head throughout the day, these thoughts might make them feel disappointed, angry, helpless, or depressed.

Parents should take it seriously when negative self-talk becomes frequent and causes issues at school or with friends. Eliminating negative self-talk is one of the most critical mindset shifts you can make in your child’s life. Although everyone seems to understand the importance of this change, the majority of people still struggle with it.

How to Create Rules For a Great Life

How to Create Rules For a Great Life

Having rules that govern your life, behavior, and choices might seem confining and restrictive.
But there’s a profound freedom that comes from living by a set of rules that you’ve chosen for yourself.
You can refrain from toiling over as many decisions. You simply follow your own rules.
Suppose you had the rule that you’re never going to lie to your partner.
Then you never have to fight with yourself about whether or not to tell the truth. You simply tell the truth and get on with life.
