Virgo season, time for the good work.

Have you imagined? Good.

Now, are you ready to change?

Are you sure, think twice...

Just to make sure we're on the same page, what I mean by "change" - the ultimate rule to become a better... a better anything, really, or at least a different one, is THIS: HERE.

Toughest rule ever, I know. But, if you think you have the stamina to play by it, or at least you want to give a chance to the universe of information and emotions that surrounds you and awaits you in silence, then all you need is a team on your side.

1. A good voice teacher: go look for one in the mirror. Check? Ok.

2. A good music coach: go look for one on the cover of the score you laid on your piano. Check? Ok.

3. A good mediator: someone who knows team member 1 and team member 2 well enough to help them communicate whenever they have a hard time: OH DEAR GOD ISN'T THAT ME.
   
   
   HERE YOU WILL FIND MY FINAL SUMMER SALE,

   VALID IF YOU BOOK BY AUGUST 31ST, 2022.

Also, an Italian student of mine (and Salvadanaio subscriber) who had lost her way to the ARKive's files (subscribers' access is via The Unlocked ARKive, from my website menu),

right after regaining it just whatsapped me in relief:

"This ARKive should be UNESCO patrimony".
I replied: "Amen."

My point, exactly.

Many of you are claiming physical audio files for an easier fruition on their phone, so here's a final sale for you to download what you need

and always have it at hand

(Beautiful gift idea, too.)

Voice teacher and vocal coaches: go check out the playlists by composer,

you cannot to do without them.

Let me explain to you why, exactly, you can't be entirely professional,without them.

Towards the end of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass", Alice meets a Unicorn.

(Some of you will know I have made my Composition thesis on this book and John -Lennon- too was a huge fan of Carroll's: the name Beatles derives in fact from this very book, for Alice meets a beetle amongst other high-frequency insects, on a train that tuns backwards.)

She's in awe just looking at the majestic animal, and claims to have believed till that point that Unicorns were just fabulous monsters. The Unicorn replies amused that, till that point he had believed exactly the same about children!

They make a deal: he'll believe in her if she believes in him.

Do you believe in unicorns?
Do you believe in you?

Do you believe in me?

I do, in all three.

Let's work some magic.

(Book now and then email me your availabilities from now till Dec 2022 asap,

my schedule till Christmas is going to be crazy.

I may in fact stop taking bookings after Aug 31st, that is after this sale, for a while)

Love you all, children and fabulous monsters of mine.
