Sarah's first lesson has prompted this process, because I can tell right away that her journey will be quite unique. Sarah is almost completely deaf and has been since she was a young child. And yet, she has the soul of a singer. She first interviewed with me a year ago and it was evident that she needed practice at pitch-matching. She also wanted piano lessons, so I sent her to a piano teacher who was used to working with singers and could do the pitch matching practice with her, also.
Now she has returned to my studio. In our first lesson, we made the amazing discovery that she "hears" visually, so we started drawing out visual representations of the vocal exercises, using colors and shapes. She is going to keep a visual journal as we work together over the next year.
