Strata and options: when I look at this photo, in addition to reveling in the beauty of the landscape, I see an illustration of the way that I work with my clients – in layers. We focus on one aspect at a time, and then we play with another approach or element; this allows time for each idea to take root, and *insieme* create the complete picture. For example, while working with a choir yesterday, we experienced our lower back ribs, sides of the middle portion of the ribs, and the upper ribs in front, feeling the quality of breathing with each and then the resulting vocal sound. Since there are many parts involved in our vocal instrument, we can choose which component draws our attention and then observe its interrelations and the overall effect. #choicesforconsciouschange #everydaypedagogy #pedagogyeverywhere #sustainablesolutions #voice #voiceteacher #mindfulmoments #musingswithDrM #DrMastrian #soprano #franklinmethodforvoice #withinandwithout #clarity #empowerment #mindfulness #voicestudio #buildingsustainablehabits #changeandtransformation #endogenouseducation #wellbeing #embodiedanatomy #tulips #flowers #mountains #naturalworld #growth #breathingwithease #singingwithease #soundingthevoicewithin 📷@stacey.mastrian © 2024
This season of renewal reminds us that we, too, can change and grow. For myself as a performer and an educator, this means always finding new avenues for learning and sharing in order to create transformative experiences for myself and for those with whom I come into contact. As a performer, this means taking on challenging repertoire in a variety of styles and continuing to add to the more than two dozen languages in which I have sung—currently working on Finnish for the upcoming concert at Benaroya Hall on June 1. As an educator, this means facilitating healthy, independent, adaptable vocalist-performers—valuing each individual’s identity and interests and guiding them to new potential choices and ease, which enables them to allow their own voice and ways of relating to the world to blossom. What growth and change would you like to experience this year? #choicesforconsciouschange #everydaypedagogy #pedagogyeverywhere #voice #voiceteacher #mindfulmoments #musingswithDrM #DrMastrian #soprano #classicalmusicseattle #withinandwithout #clarity #empowerment #hope #mindfulness #voicestudio #buildingsustainablehabits #changeandtransformation #endogenouseducation #franklinmethodforvoice #wellbeing #embodiedanatomy #flowers #naturalworld #nofilter #growth #breathingwithease #singingwithease #soundingthevoicewithin 📷@stacey.mastrian © 2024
“…from a sense of beauty arise flowers which eternally bloom. Peace and joy advance in perfect concord, like the changing play of the waves. All that was harsh and hostile has turned into sublime delight….All art in the spring’s sun lets light flow…” – from Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy During this season of transformation, come hear this powerful work for pianist, vocal soloists (of which I am one!), chorus, and orchestra, live at Benaroya Hall on April 27th in Seattle. #soprano #seattlesoprano #soloist #classicalmusic #livemusic #oratorio #singing #staceysoprano #seattlesinger #voice #voiceteacher #growth #changeandtransformation #wellbeing #dynamicstillnes #mindfulmoments #musingswithDrM #DrMastrian #breathingwithease #singingwithease #soundingthevoicewithin #blossom #sunlight #lake #flowers #sky #water #naturalworld 📷@stacey.mastrian © 2024

Growth is not necessarily linear, and it may appear chaotic or omnidirectional, but if you follow one branch, you will see progress in the form of nascent buds with energy wrapped inside, waiting to come forth.

Always leave room for the unexpected! Everything on my walk was dry – the ground, the leaves, stream beds – with shades of brown replacing the usually bright fall colors…until I happened upon this area of the forest, suddenly vibrantly alive with the vivid green of enthusiastic new growth amidst stately companions. So, too, does our path toward progress sometimes feel uninspiring until enlivened by fresh ideas and encounters. ….Journey with me to experience brilliant moments of discovery along the way…. #continuouslyevolve #DrMastrian #mastrianstudio #voiceteacher #voice #endogenouseducation #franklinmethod #franklinmethodforvoice #breathingwithease #singingwithease #holisticwellbeing #deepbreathing #newideas #mindbody #embodiedanatomy #musingswithDrM #mindfulmoments #changeandtransformation #green #trees #treestump #foliage #fall #traditionlake #pnw #naturalworld #everydaypedagogy #pedagogyeverywhere #serendipitousart #sunandair Photo: @stacey.mastrian © 2022

A safe space for growth. Stability and calm that allow you to shine. To experience change from within, one:one sessions in my voice studio allow for a personalized journey, or Franklin Method® embodied anatomy workshops will illuminate your body’s function—upcoming in October is the pelvis, which greatly impacts our breathing and ease of speaking and singing (feel the sense of centeredness of the pelvic basin cradling the organs that this photo evokes…). #DrMastrian #mastrianstudio #voiceteacher #voice #endogenouseducation #franklinmethodeducator #franklinmethod #franklinmethodforvoice #breathingwithease #speakingwithease #singingwithease #holisticwellbeing #mindset #mindbody #functionalanatomy #embodiedanatomy #musingswithDrM #mindfulmoments #structureandfreedom #changeandtransformation #withinandwithout #tree #light #lake #rattlesnakelake #naturalworld #nofilter Photo: @stacey.mastrian © 2022

Taking natural elements and shaping them, as with your voice when we work together – both in each moment and with overall directionality. This photo also provides imagery for the idea of breath support within a phrase: there is not a single stone and then nothingness; there are a series of stepping stones every so often along with way, which is the same as occurs with reiterating support at various key points during a phrase. #pathforward #direction #progress #plan #seriesofmoments #mastrianstudio #DrMastrian #singingwithease #breathingwithease #speakingwithease #breathsupport #phrasing #groupvoice #everydaypedagogy #pedagogyeverywhere #naturalworld #imagery #formandfunction #musingswithDrM #mindfulmoments #singing #voice #voiceteacher Photo: @stacey.mastrian

Reflecting on the life that surrounds us and that which is within us. As a teacher I guide awareness, like a natural mirror, so that each individual can recognize in themselves what they need in order to bring about change with ease and eventually create a new habit. Taking a moment to breathe in this peaceful and verdant place. Recalling the sound of the red-winged blackbirds that were present and what they symbolize: protection, good luck, protection, prosperity, intuition, seriousness, intelligence, adaptability, strength, power, determination, change, and transformation.

Ginkgo trees have always intrigued me. Recently I discovered that they are considered symbols of resilience, health, and longevity, of uniqueness, and of hope and peace -- perfect inspiration for the combination of work that I do.

There is light and space for all of us in the world -- each of us with our unique design, way of reaching for the heights, and manifestation of our aesthetics. We are our own entities, *and* together we create something larger and more beautiful than ourselves. These tree crowns also remind me of lungs in their expansiveness and form.
