Explored the mind/body connect with a singer yesterday. :)  Lisa, a copy writer and editor by day, is very detail-oriented in her approach to her singing; so much so, in fact, that it tends to bog her down and her singing becomes more and more laborious as she goes along.  During her lesson, I asked her to think of the entire phrase that she was about to sing while she was inhaling for that phrase, sort of a mental preview of what she was about to sing.  The resulting freedom in the sound was phenomenal and, though she had a fear response to losing control of the sound, she has agreed to continue to practice the idea this week.  I'm eager to hear her next week...
