The "Importance of  performance"...is what
                         every aspiring musician must strive to
                         understand and perfect. In order to reach
                          your listener, whether it be in the studio or
                          live, you must "perform" your ultimate best
                          each and every time you play. Those who
                          aspire to be the next "big thing" must work
                          much harder and be much better than those
                          that have come before to gain attention and
                          be recognized. A good voice is simply not

enough! When you perform, let your energy and your
emotion show through your eyes and your body movement.
Use your hands, move your arms, tell the story... Every
song should be told with conviction and truthfulness. First,
pick a song you believe in. One that speaks to you in some
way. Find a mirror to watch yourself or better yet, pick a 
friend or family member to give you honest feedback and
don't just sing....PERFORM! See how much better you look and feel when you sing from your heart and not just from
your lips. People will notice!! Because, not only is music important to you, but most importantly, it is important to
your listeners....
