Music Is A Bridge From You to You - Lyndol Descant

I just so easy to give up on yourself, to stop sharing or even listening to your own authentic voice.

I'm Lyndol Descant and as long as I can remember I was too shy to speak up for myself. I shrank away from attention like shadow from light. And worst of all – compliments.

I don't know why I was like that. Maybe it was my childhood circumstances, maybe I was born that way.

What I do know is that I would have remained that way for a lifetime had it not been for music.

Music is unlike anything else in our known world. Music is vibration. Music is Rhythm. Music is emotion. Music is communication. Music is Mathematics and mathematics is said to be the language of our universe. And when you study music enough, you realize music is magic. And that in our modern world we grossly underestimate it's power.

“I Dared And it Came True, living for real... living for real” - Music Video Premier

I release her today to acknowledge and inspire others on a similar journey;

For those who are not satisfied living according to other's expectations.

For those who don't want to play it safe.

For those who are shy and afraid, but showing up for their life anyways.

For those taking those terrifying steps towards what they truly dream of.

For those who are listening to that quiet voice calling them to truth.

For those who won't give up on themselves, even when the world has.

Sharing the Music

Mid June, 2019 I wrote this in my journal; “End of the Year, another school year down. I'm exhausted.

I've been teaching for 12 years now and though my teaching schedule is smaller and smaller each year in proportion to performing and online work, it still seems to occupy SO MUCH of my heart and energy.

Nothing demonstrates this dedication more than the recital season (in May) each year. It just really it takes it out of me. Somehow I can't seem to make myself care less about it; to just be chill and enjoy the process. No! All my neurosis pop to the surface and rear their ugly and rigid heads.”

Launch of Vocal + Piano Forum On PianoGroove!

I’m so so super excited to be launching a new forum on Pianogroove this week. I’ll be leading the discussion on many different fronts that relate to the singing pianist, as well as the accompanying pianist, and musicians in general. I’ve been a gigging musician and teach for the past 8 years, and I love this chance to share my voice on creating inspired music and building skill as a pianist, singer AND singing pianist. I’ll even include exercises. I’m part of a growing number of musicians who no longer buy into the competitive mindset, but instead seek growth and empowerment thru collaboration. Here’s one of my first posts there…
