How to Leave the Lack-of-Confidence Cycle

Have you ever had the experience of singing, judging how good or bad you sang something and then singing again, and again, and again while your singing gets worse and worse...or feels worse even if it sounds better?

In this video, we'll look into the cycle of "practicing" singing that actually makes it less likely you get to the sounds you want in a way that feels good.

For many us, building a skill is judgement-driven...we do something, decides if its good enough and if its not good enough, then we keep doing it until we get it "right". That can work in certain categories, (like math) but in singing, it often doesn't. So in this video, we'll look at one way to get out of a judgement-driven practice process and into a process that helps you find and spread what's already working in your singing.

I'm already seeing improvement in voice and piano after two months. 

Chris is an awesome teacher! He is super kind and super funny. I have no previous experience, and with only two months of lessons I already see significant improvement in my voice/piano skills! Definitely recommend doing both piano and vocal lessons simultaneously. Come to Chris, I promise you won’t regret it!
