Don't Compare!

1/26/2015

One of Wayne's favorite sayings is, “All misery comes from comparison.” What he means by this in terms of singing is we should never compare ourselves to another singer. There will always be someone better than us and someone who is worse. The only person we can truly compare ourselves to is ourselves! If we chart our progress based on where we come from and where we hope to go, then we are only competing, if you will, against ourselves. 

True misery does come from comparison. Think about that in all areas of your life, next time you are tempted to compare yourself to another. It's a good teaching tool for kids, too!

My name is Amy and I've been studying with Wayne for over a year. I had no intention of studying voice, but sometimes life has a way of bringing surprises when you least expect it! I have learned so much from Wayne and consider him more like a life coach than a voice instructor. That comment makes him happy as he sees music as his platform for sharing the wisdom he has gained over the years as a performer and conductor with those in his chorale. 

This blog is a place where I will share quotes from Wayne - not all original - but certainly applicable to all our lives - as well as pictures, funny stories, etc. I hope this will encourage you to dream big and maybe even consider joining his Celebration!Chorale. I can tell you one thing - learning from Wayne is never boring! He will inspire you to give your all not only to music but to your entire life.
