Review:

Is it Luck or the Power of Creative Thinking?

I'm posting this with many thanks to Lon for a wonderful workshop. While my intent was to take the course on the basis of its technical merits, I have been touched to a greater extent by both your philosophies of music and life.. . Lon refers to himself as lucky. I think a lot of this luck is believing in yourself. At what point did Lon "discover" his luck--was it Berklee Conservatory, was it in London? Is it karmic or is it nurturing the mind to appropriately take on risks and adeptly handle the challenges? Posted by Paul Petersky Lon Van Eaton wrote on Fri, 17 Nov 2017

    Recording at Lon’s Studio

    Recording at Lon’s Studio is one of the most exhilarating, fun and motivating experiences of my life. Lon and Consti combine professionalism and love to make it a truly rewarding experience. It's evolved in me a passion to sing that I never before would have taken seriously. Posted by Mindy Vickers Lon Van Eaton wrote on Fri, 17 Nov 2017
