F 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!
I thought I’d have to die and be reborn to do this!
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.

The Perils of a Perfect Streak
In defense of a sloppier practice routine…
I’ve long idealized the idea of a daily practice.
I love saying “I walk every morning” or “I make a daily painting” or “each day I find time to block out the world and get into the zone with my music practice.” Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds great but at least for me, this remains aspirational. Or it works for a while until it doesn’t.
Which could be fine…
The trick for me is to not let the end of the streak mean the end of the practice.
For a while I used DuoLingo for Spanish. Did it every single day. It was fun. When I […]
Make Time for What LIGHTS YOUR UP!
It can be tough to find time for the things we love. Singing, in particular, often falls by the wayside when work and other commitments take over.
But if singing makes you happy it’s important to make time for it – because there is really nothing like singing for feeding the soul, right?!
So, here’s a huge paradigm switch that will change everything…
Rather than thinking of PRACTICING as a VERB, try thinking of it as a NOUN.
You have A SINGING PRACTICE. Even if it’s a small practice, it’s yours, to treasure and nurture to whatever extent you’re able at this time, and this will allow it to blossom over time.
In creating a practice you’re making […]
The Happy Birthday Song
Because this song is so commonly sung, people think of it as an easy song — but it’s not that easy.
It hops around in unusual ways and has a wide range (a pretty big distance from the lowest note to the highest note). Thinking it should be easy but still having a hard time with it can be the cause of much singing discouragement, as in the sentiment, “I’m such a lousy singer that I can’t even sing the Happy Birthday Song!”
