Over the last 12 years I have had many talented partners (Jay Levinson-Guerrilla Marketing, Michael Port-Product Factory, Craig Valentine – World Class Speaking and others). In each of these relationships I was inspired to be more creative and productive than would have been on my own.
3 months ago I found another partner who has inspired me to be better than I could have been on my own — but in my musical life. Here’s the story…
As some of you know I have played music most my life and have become an accomplished guitarist (my jazz guitar solo on Chick Corea’s Spain). Over the years I have worked to bring my singing up to the level of my guitar playing and to do that I take vocal lessons every few years.
A few months ago a sought out a vocal coach (see pic) in Scottsdale AZ where I live. I am a firm believer that a good coach can help you in any area.
Long story short, after working on a few of my originals as well as some John Mayer, Sting (my take on Sting’s Fragile) and some other cool tunes we decided to work together as a duo. We now rehearse twice a week and have about 50 songs we perform at our gig in the Phoenix area.
The way I see it what better way to improve quickly then to get a gig with your coach who is an amazing singer :) While it was initially slightly intimidating I have improved my singing dramatically in less than 3 months.
This leads me to a question you may want to ponder…
Who could you partner with that would inspire you to improve your skills quickly?
(Tip: You may have to get out of your comfort zone)
