The Classical Voice Studio of Diana Farrell

Monday, May 3, 2021 by Diana Farrell | THOUGHTS FROM THE STUDIO

It is my firm belief that as singers, we are first and foremost storytellers. SO… before I get to the point of this #MondayMusings post, allow me to tell a story.

These last 14 months have been hard. I don't think that statement is unique to me in any way. I've been feeling the pains of regret, loss, and somehow guilt as I start to imagine the world reopening and live music entering our lives once more. I stopped myself in the middle of these negative thoughts one day and sat down to list out all that I've accomplished in the last three years. I did not even end up writing anything prior to the pandemic before I started to feel better. Besides being there for my family and having the privilege of spending my daughter's first year of life being present everyday, I've managed to make lots of music, grow my private studio, find lots of creative outlets, feel like I've provided relief for others, and found ways to fill my own cup. (Holy run on sentence, Batman). If you've been feeling the same, try this exercise. I think you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was. Emotionally, it's been hard on all of us but make time to reflect on your successes. One thing I've not done as much as I would like that I've always loved is working with singers on a one-off basis coaching arias. 

So in the spirit of camaraderie and everyone getting ready for the grand musical life reopening, I am offering $25 one time coaching sessions (virtually) on those pieces you've been meaning to touch up or work through for the first time. Now through the end of June I will be available for these no commitment coaching sessions for anyone who would like them. Whether you are a professional, and emerging artists, a first time singer, or just someone with a song in their heart, please DM me and I would love to set up an hour to make some music with you. Music is about storytelling and I would love to help you find your voice and help rub your engine for a future filled with song!
