What does it take to be an effective singing leader?
Why is community music is so vital for social health?
How can positivity counteract our innate negativity bias?

In this powerful follow-up with Dr Melissa Forbes, we talk about how singing transforms lives far beyond the stage. From rethinking the deficit mindset of traditional music training to leading groups for people with Parkinson’s, Melissa challenges us to see singing through a new lens:

Connection, not perfection.
Whether you're a singer, teacher, coach, or someone who just loves voices, this episode will shift how you think about music, leadership and human connection.
