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!

If you want to learn to sing, email me and we’ll choose your first right step!

With life-long certainty I told Nancy I was tone-deaf and within two minutes she had me matching a note she was singing. I was amazed and a little bit giddy!

Thank you so much for the singing lesson. It was something I will never forget and until recently I would never have done that. It’s all about growing. You are doing such great things for others with your gift. Thank you for sharing.

I knew nothing about singing but I have found that I can do this. It feels so good to sing with other humans.

Recovering Quickly from Mistakes

Here’s a little video about one of the most important singing skills of all — recovering quickly from mistakes. (Also a great skill to help with life in general!)

It’s a skill you can learn!

You know how I get pretty silly during our sing-along warmups?

There’s a reason for that.

Once we start taking it all less seriously and not succumbing to the inner voice that says, “Stop! You messed up!” we can keep the musical part of our brain engaged. We’re not distracted by the Blah Blah Blah of our self-consciousness, and we’re actually more musically intelligent. 

We’re better able to move on much more quickly and musically, and to get it right the next […]

Practice the 1-3-5 with me for 3 1/2 minutes…

Singing or visualizing the 1-3-5 not only anchors us firmly in the key but also provides essential reference points as we embark on the journey of learning new songs. Questions like, “Where does this particular note in the song fall in the context of the 1-3-5?” become powerful tools for visualizing and succeeding as we approach songs.

GUITAR IN THE DOORWAY

Practice Prompt: Leave your stuff around…

For a lot of us it’s “Out of Sight, Out of Mind” when it comes to practicing singing.

A great solution to this is to leave prompts in various places around your home….

• Lyric sheets on the kitchen counter or on your bed.

• Laminated lyric sheets on a hook in your shower.

• Leave a few straws around the house for breathing exercises

• If you play a ukulele, leave it on the couch – don’t put it away in its case!

• And if you have a guitar, stick it in the doorway between rooms so you have to pick […]
