Gentle and encouraging. My daughter is a private vocal student of Mrs. Cardona. Before her first solo performance, Mrs. Cardona told her, “You have practiced, and you are ready. It’s now your time to step into the light, take a deep breath and sing!” I have found myself coming back to these words often; they resonate deeply for my child and for me, not only about the power of music, but as a mantra for life.
