I work with lots of adults and teens, some of whom other teachers might term the "wounded" singer, but I always have this naïve notion that I can "someday" help the singer achieve what you have achieved... an audience who really does enjoy listening to the voice. In my heart I know that it takes time, one little step at a time, to unravel all the tension and inbedded habits, but sometimes I think maybe I'm not teaching right because it doesn't happen faster for some of these people. But, it DOES happen, if they stick with it. I think I will print out your email and give it to any adult student who feels discouraged that they are spending so much money for such a long time. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading it.. I'm up too late.. this was great! Deanna
