Return to Resonance Mastery Series for Singers

“As for ourselves, it is only when we wholly submit to the bonds of truth that we fully gain the joy of freedom.
And How? As does the string that is bound to the harp. When the harp is truly strung, when there is not the slightest
laxity in the strength of the bond, then only does music result, and the string, transcending itself in its melody,
finds at every chord its true freedom. It is because it is bound by such hard-and-fast rules on the one side that
it can find this range of freedom in music on the other. While the string was not true, it was indeed merely bound;
but a loosening of its bondage would not have been the way to freedom, which it can only fully achieve by being bound
tighter and tighter till it has attained the true pitch.”

– Rabindranath Tagore from Sadhana
