The art of creative disruption

How one tiny change can transform not just how we do something but how we feel about it, too

Your first singing lesson with me?

I’m likely to ask you to lie on the floor.

New students always look at me as if I’m crazy. We don’t really know each other at all, and I’m asking them to do this? But what starts as strange and unexpected soon becomes oddly peaceful, then revelatory.

What we’re really doing is thinking about how we breathe, a fundamental part of singing, but when we lie on the floor there’s so much more to it than that.

This week’s newsletter is about the art of creative disruption: how one tiny unexpected change can transform not just how we do something but how we feel about it.
