Singers and musicians usually need a little help in getting started. They see the music videos online and on TV, hear the music on CD’s and Radio and want to do that too. Many set lofty goals about being the next American Idol or be the next Kenny Chesney or Sara Evans or Taylor Swift. With TV shows like Nashville Star, America’s most Talented Kids, American Idol. 1000’s of people want to: “Be like George Strait, Faith Hill, Brooks and Dunn or Carrie Underwood.” They see fun, excitement, fame and fortune. These famous performers are their hero’s. They don’t see the heartache, disappointment and struggles. Most have unrealistic expectations. Just like many young athletes want to be in the Olympics but a very very few make it top and win a gold medal.

“Spectacular performance is always preceded by: unspectacular preparation, hard work, struggles, disappointment, hurts, stress, and practice, practice, practice for years and years. I believe a minimum of seven years before you can say you’ve paid your dues and only then will you see the fruits of your labor.”
