What have you been noticing about life? I mean, really noticing now? Behind closed doors, working at home if we are fortunate to have a job, and not interacting with real in-the-flesh people, we have all (or will) become masters in musing. For introverts, the transition at this time may feel natural and not as…

Isolated, But Not Alone
Dear MuSingers, I didn’t want to write a post like this. I never believed that I would. Not in a million years. I wanted to be telling you about how good my study life had started to feel, how my mind had been expanding and my brain cells jumping as I learnt new things about…

Be a (Music) Rebel – A Cure for Singer’s Blah
I believe that every singer has a little rebel living inside them. In fact, I would encourage every singer to find that little rebel as soon as they possibly can. Why? Well let me first explain who that little rebel is. Rebels generally have a bad reputation â think James Dean, surly, possibly chain-smoking (please,…
