Giving the advice of setting specific goals within a specific time period is priceless. This should cutout a lot of uncertainty when it comes to goal setting. It's very difficult to reach a vague goal. okay this was great post.Many people start off th year with renew hope of meetin gnew goals. yet by the end of it they have forgotten what it was.

Went to Karaoke and sang "House of the Rising Sun" And it felt great. My cohorts said should add that to my list. I am 65 years old, retired, and having a ball thanks to you in making my favorite past time into a lot more fun. Hi Per, I am on my third Lesson And can already feel a difference.

The video lessons and all that are fine, but you need individualized feedback to really make breakthroughs. That's my experience. I went from shower singer to gigging singer after two solid years of weekly lessons with a top vocal coach. It cost me every cent I could muster, but it was worth it. I still do the lessons but now I supplement that with good video and audio lessons from other coaches. Everybody's got a slightly different method and there's something to learn from them all. But if you can possibly swing it, do that one on one, and above all, be patient. It takes time and discipline, just like anything else worth doing.

I feel all these questions about where we want to be at the end of the year are great ones to ask ourselves periodically, to see if where we are at or what we want has changed a little, a lot, or not at all. So is it okay that I feel a little discouraged by the fact that I've been doing voice lessons for 6 months now, at home, mostly be myself and I sometimes wonder why and if I'm still making progress? Is it just resistance I will overcome? Although I still haven't really sung in front of people, there has been talk of having a jam night with people I work with who play music. Maybe the new year will bring with it some new opportunities that I will feel trained and prepared for? As for now I am very glad to have this time to learn with Per's coaching. Wow 2009!

As I start your DVD set (it arrived yesterday!) I look forward to what you have to offer. We're very lucky to be living in an age when the technology allows great teachers like you to reach a wider audience (not possible 5 years ago!). I would like to comment on one aspect of goal setting. Sometimes the goals we set are not the goals we need. Years ago I started to write a book on How to Buy a House. I started writing and found the subject very dry, and in between doing the outline I did some renovation work... I wrote another story about building foundations, then another and another and then completely switche directions, writing a book on emotions and healing which became a Canadian bestseller. So set some goals, but if life takes you off in another direction, so be it! It may be for the best. With my singing, my goal was to improve my range. With that in mind, I went to youtube because a friend mentioned I'd find some videos there. Up popped an ad for your program and I clicked and really connected with what you are doing and ordered the DVD series. So has my goal changed? Yes! Perhaps improved range is the benefit that I am seeking, not the goal. My goal is now to build my ability to sing completely freely. I may get better range, I may not. But I am certain that when I get going on this program (later today) I will get benefits that I could not have imagined. Its important to be flexible with goals and the vision of what they look like. Sometimes the best thing to do is get out of my own way. No matter what, get started and see where it leads you! Mark O'Meara author of The Feeling Soul -A Roadmap to Healing and Living Per,

Chronic muscular resistance and the crazy psyche. They go hand in hand where I cant tell anymore which came first, the chicken or the egg. And man have I been frustrated. Where is all this stuff coming from? I never used to experience any of this. Per you're amazing in getting me to release, it's like magic! Lets see if I can take that through the new year with healthier vocals, muscles and nogginl. What do I want for 2009? To sing my butt off and perform while I'm at it...with power and no more pain!!
