Every year it seems to be harder and harder to fight these germs and it’s important to stay pro-active. If you are someone that gets sick more than once a year, like me, then staying in touch with your Ear, Nose and Throat doctor is important.

I have been working with some of the best ENT’s in the United States for the last 10 years and have learned a lot along the way.  Again if you are getting sick often it may be for a variety of reasons. As we all know rest, low, a good diet and vitamins are important, however I find that a vast majority of my clients suffer form allergies. Allergies can cause swelling in the nasal passages which makes it a breeding ground for bacteria and makes it more likely you will get sick and that can turn into an infection making it harder to get better more quickly.

Use a sinus rinse every day and consult your doctor about a nasal spray at night. Steam vaporizers work well, and lots of fluids. If your cold doen’t seem to be getting better it might be time for a doctor visit and possibly anti-biotics to avoid further infection.

Be smart singers, we need our health!

It was Spiderman’s one year anniversary and a man walked up to Reeve and said he was a fan. Reeve thought he recognized him but he had a hat on. When Reeve asked the man what his name was he responded “Michael”. Reeve looked a bit closer and said “oh wow Michael Buble, you’re one of my top 5 singers”!

Reeve said Michael didn’t seem to take the compliment and Reeve thought he said something wrong.

Later that night Reeve turned on his computer to find an email from Michael saying that he was sorry if he acted strange as he felt awkward because he thinks Reeve is so talented. Reeve thought this was funny as it was indeed  Michel Buble, one of the flawless singers we know.

It was a sweet story to me as I thought wow, someone like Michael who makes singing look so easy was a fan of Reeve. Of course as his teacher I am proud and believe he is very talented,but its good to hear it from other singers and to be able to support one another in the industry.

You never know what you will find in life but I like to surprises the best! No matter what kind of singer you are, as much as you are impressed by other artists, there is someone out there that is equally impressed by you.

Dont’ ever give up on your dreams!
