In the music industry, young singers are often caught in a never-ending cycle of expensive auditions, paying for the chance to be seen. But is this system truly sustainable? It’s time to rethink how we support and develop talent, moving beyond outdated models and embracing more equitable, accessible opportunities. By reducing financial burdens and fostering meaningful connections, we can create a healthier and more innovative future for artists.

Embracing neurodiversity in private music instruction requires an open mind, flexibility, and a deep respect for each student's unique learning journey. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to learning music. As instructors, our role is to adapt our teaching methods to meet the individual needs of neurodivergent students, creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every learner can thrive.
