Hi Amigos!
Welcome back!
Today’s guest is Kat Reinhert aka my voice teacher from UM! Kat is an accomplished educator, author, vocalist, songwriter and artist. As a solo artist, Kat has released 5 independent albums and sung on multiple projects and has recorded for noted artists. She is the former Director of Contemporary Voice at The University of Miami (The Hollywood Reporter has ranked the University of Miami's Frost School of Music #15 on their Top 25 Music Schools of 2016!) and is a sought-after clinician, speaker and researcher. She has authored several book chapters and journal articles on contemporary voice and songwriting and is the current president of the Association for Popular Music Education. Ms. Reinhert currently resides in NYC where she is working on several music educational, business, consulting and writing projects.
She really is so much more than voice teacher, you’re going to hear in this episode how attentive she is to her craft, not only as an educator, but to pretty much everything she has set her mind to.
Never making her creativity the central focus of what she’s doing, she’s now risking it all to see what comes from it. Through everything she has never given up and has always asked what’s next? Let’s dive in!
TAKE AWAYS:
There’s always something to work on
You never really give up being creative, sometimes you just forget to make it the central focus
Keep following the things that bring you joy
Keep putting stuff out and keep believing in yourself
What defines one persona success is not what defines another persona success
Always try new things
If you don’t take the risk thats worse than actually taking it
Believe in the things you think you can do
Go for it even if you don’t have a plan
Listen to your voice
