Ilearn to singF YOU CAN TALK, YOU CAN SING!

We are all born to sing — I believe this with all my heart. People all over the world have sung for as long as there has been language – in fact only relatively recently, with the advent of musical recording, has the birthright of song been relinquished to the professionals.

Do you have a story? Perhaps there’s a reason why you’re afraid to sing. Many people who think they can’t sing have had some kind of experience that shut them down (for example, a criticism at an early age, a sense that someone else was the “the singer” in the family, an insensitive music teacher!) and this negative experience has gelled into a myth that they have come to see as a truth. Does this sound familiar to you?

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

We’ll start by opening up our idea of what singing is. Let’s play with sound, and what it’s like to simply make noise together. Let’s talk about what singing means to you and why, and what kind of music interests you. We’ll play games with singing and rhythm, do some toning and rounds as a way of exploring harmony, move and stretch our bodies as we explore making different sounds, and sing simple, accessible songs from different cultures. Finding your voice is both fun and profound!

Deep Listening Vocal Exploration – Finding Each Other | Male Voices

This is a moment from our recent retreat weekend in Keene, NH. 

These 3 guys are communicating through voice, eye contact and body language.

You can hear their voices as they diverge and come together, and you can see how intensely they’re communicating.

Besides being great ear training — deep listening while simultaneously finding related notes — I find it to be very beautiful.

Home and Away with Drone

Last weekend at our singing retreat in Keene, we captured some moments that I think will both give you a feel for some of what we do at these events, and also show you how to do some of my favorite activities.

This is one of my favorites. I call it “Home and Away.” The drone note is our home, and we explore what happens when one person moves their voice around while the other holds steady on the drone note.

This exercise is fantastic for ear training, and also fantastic fun!

You can try it with a friend or click here to try it with me.

Why Your Breath Is the Real Secret to Singing Without Fear (Even If You Think You Can’t Sing)

If you’ve ever taken a breath to sing and felt the air filling up your chest, you might also notice how that causes your throat to tighten, your shoulders to rise toward your ears, and even sometimes your jaw to clenched before the first note even comes out. You are not alone.  This is what most people do when I ask them to take a breath as if they’re getting ready to sing.

You might want to try it right now and see what you notice. It’s not very comfortable, is it?

The Breathing Mistake Almost Every Non-Singer Makes

Here’s what happens for most adults who grew up believing they “can’t sing.” When it’s time to take a breath, they pull the air up into the […]
