Saige Barlow-Smith-Ch 10-14

I love how these chapters broke down the “game” of learning music the author discusses here. I also appreciate that he addresses special steps and addresses considerations for various styles of music, such as musical theatre. I think that’s very important for teachers to be able to know,  since we’ll get a lot of students who are more interested in more contemporary styles than plain old classical music. Of course, it is important for us to maintain a healthy voice, as he addressed, but it is also important for us to hold ourselves accountable for our voices and determine our own thought process for success. I think that ties well to what the author said in the beginning about how your voice reflects who you are. That, to me, is the key to our success is knowing the right strategies, but also reflecting the voice you want as well as becoming a better person.
