Making Connections: I often take the "master coaches" for granted in my life. This chapter just reminded me of how important they are, and how especially for a singer an outside ear is crucial for development. I have loved learning more about their process and how all the simple things that my teachers have been doing with me over the years contribute to how far I have come. It makes me excited to be a teacher myself and have the challenge of finding techniques that work for different students and learning styles.
