Singing is a particularly vulnerable thing; being here was wonderful because there's room to breathe, and be, and take up space. Even in the practice rooms where it's like, okay sure, it doesn't necessarily feel satisfying to belt in them or always appropriate if there's you've got like a little violin lesson next door, but it still feels like everybody's practicing together... independently and still together. There's something nice about that.
This is a space designed for music and for learning, and it's not about perfection, it's about the process of honing your skills and your craft and your artistry. And it doesn't have to be as fancy as all that either; for some people, it's not about being an artist. It's like, "I like learning flute and playing with friends." And that is perfectly fine, too! Jason and I talked about that a lot when I was [working] here: how it should be about community. It should be about everyone having access. It's about like, does this bring you joy?
