Our greatest passion, calling, and gift have always been coaching and mentoring others, and we are committed to continuing this journey online, with my beautiful and talented wife, Lynn, by my side. Together, we will form a dedicated coaching team for the remainder of our time on this earth. This new chapter, “Singing the Art of the Heart,” will be a non-profit project focused on helping the less fortunate, disadvantaged global communities, and many others. This project is driven by a profound sense of compassion, with a central mission: “Healing the world through the power of music and art.”
A Vision Born from Personal Experience
In my upcoming book, “The Wooden Piano,” I share the story of my childhood—of being a gifted child with a deep love for music but unable to afford a piano or music lessons. This experience shaped the trajectory of my life and fueled my desire to pay it forward and help others. Over the years, we have offered countless free singing lessons and provided musical instruments to those in crisis or those who simply could not afford them, but who had an undeniable talent and passion for music.
Our Ongoing Journey of Charity and Philanthropy
Our journey of charity and philanthropy will not stop here; it will continue as the core of our life’s vision and mission. “Singing the Art of the Heart” aims to extend our efforts to even more communities and individuals, using music and art as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. We will continue to provide free lessons, mentorship, and guidance to those in need, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent anyone from pursuing their dreams.
In addition to our non-profit work, we will also offer coaching to a limited number of talented students, with acceptance strictly by audition. This allows us to focus our energy on those who demonstrate not only skill but also a deep commitment to their craft.
Supporting Other Charitable Endeavors
Our commitment to making a positive impact extends beyond music. Currently, we are also supporting The Toothbrush Project in Cambodia, an inspiring charity founded by one of our former students. This life-changing endeavor provides essential health and hygiene resources to children in underserved communities. You can learn more about this incredible project here.
A Calling to Inspire, Heal, and Empower
As we embark on this new chapter, we are filled with excitement and hope for what lies ahead. Our mission is clear: to inspire, heal, and empower through the transformative power of music and art. We believe that every voice matters, and every person has a unique gift to share with the world. Our goal is to help uncover and nurture that gift, regardless of circumstance.
This is not just our mission; it is our calling. And we invite you to join us on this journey—to help us make a difference, one note, one melody, and one heart at a time.
