AN OPEN LETTER TO SINGERS AND PARENTS:
Dear Singers,
THANK YOU for opening your hearts and allowing me to share this journey with you. I appreciate your willingness to surrender to this challenging and rewarding process. Learning to sing is a tremendous opportunity. It can be frightening because it forces you to be vulnerable, lay it all on the line and expose your weaknesses, but when you choose to do this work, you come through the other side, truly knowing who you are. You have faced a multitude of fears, such as being judged, not “good enough" and unteachable. When you learn to love your voice and present it with pride, you gain the confidence to let all your lights shine. I am so honored by your ongoing faith and trust in me. I have the most joyful and rewarding job I could imagine and I’m grateful to have each of you in my life.
Dear Parents,
THANK YOU for sharing your children with me. I am humbled by the trust you place in me and your investment of time, money and gas miles. Above all, I'm inspired by the love you show your kids by supporting their inner voices, in addition to the outer. Art matters and what our kids have to express matters. Music can be a very effective vehicle for growth and transformation. I teach them vocal technique and music theory while they teach me about beauty and truth and passion and so on... I am blessed beyond measure that you allow me to do the work I do. I don’t take a single day for granted.
Warmly, sincerely and with so much gratitude,
Jenna Hensley
