and say i did not appreciate the way that was delivered to me but if i were a kinder person and a person that wants to be healed i get a glimpse or a glimmer of what they were trying to say and i've tried to make it more gentle for myself so

I mean, I keep going back and forth to being a little person and being who I am today many, many years later.

And it truly was quite miraculous that I ended up getting scholarships to college for basically what I overcame with asthma.

But by that time, nobody knew I had asthma.

And I still did have it.

And I had bouts of it.

People are like, you have asthma?

It's like, we're going to give you the scholarship to college.

Wait, we're going to give you the scholarship.

People turning around going, but you're just saying in the high school play, how are you having asthma?

So the idea was,

singing as a medicine as you so beautifully put was truly that and it wasn't just the singing it was basically learning how to increase my lung capacity so that even when i was having smaller issues with breathing i could almost get myself out of it from my own techniques

Trying to open myself up or have an asthma attack, sit at the piano and start singing.

No more asthma attack.

So if I can continue, just one extra thought.

Is that what I'm known for beyond music?

obviously teaching singing is prior to every single vocal coaching or vocal lesson.

I do an incredibly detailed breathing series and they're made of three sequences that involves it.

It's almost like it's a combination of if yoga met Pilates, met Alexander technique, met, um,

any kind of martial arts where you're becoming very, very aware of your movement and you're inhaling on one movement and exhaling on the other.
