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 time.

So, have fun, and PLAY! It will help you recover from your singing mistakes more quickly, and you’ll learn to relax and have more fun. And in that state, you’ll be better able to learn new skills and improve your singing.

Besides getting our voices limbered up and connecting our body, breath, and voice, what we’re practicing is, not thinking so much. We’re learning to make sounds without censoring ourselves all the time.

In order to learn to sing, we need to learn to let go of the inner critic and PLAY with our voices.
