I wanted to circle back and say THANK YOU AGAIN.
It’s truly been a transformative experience for me and I’ve emerged having gained more confidence, insight and joy for making music.
I’ve really been needing for a long time. In previous years of my musical studies, I’ve faced many difficulties with how to practice effectively. Never having felt I learned how to practice, many insecurities arose and made life very challenging.
Your commitment to creating a safe space and helping me envision my full potential has given me newfound energy to achieve my goals. I couldn’t be more grateful for your enthusiasm, passion and support. It made the world of a difference.
