When we usually hear the word musicians the most common thoughts go directly to the individuals that play any kind of instrument. Once you understand the meaning of creating music you will add the vocal cords as the following method of expressing emotions through harmonies. It’s being able to feel our emotions along with notes that appear to be an amazing melody.

I remember when I was young and I feel attracted to the music. My father has decided to show us how we were supposed to listen to any type of song. He always said listen, very carefully… I gotta admit sometimes I thought that was silly, but I kept doing it anyway. Nowadays —thanks to him and my husband’s lessons— I understand the importance of creating a habit to hear the instruments that are playing in the theme I’m listening to.

I have a different type of artist that influence me and help with my singing techniques over the years.
