The Art of Song
In 2022 I decided to start a YouTube channel so I could talk about my passion for song interpretation.
However, this process proved to be far too time-consuming, as I was spending a lot of time preparing and recording each example performance.
So I stopped after two videos😆. Nevertheless it was good fun doing it!
