In the last two posts I’ve outlined step 1 and step 2 to becoming a singer.
Now it’s time for step 3 to help you grow and develop as a singer.
Last week I wrote about the first step to becoming a singer.
You need to actually start singing! Now here’s step 2.
People often ask how they can become a singer.
Here are three simple steps to follow. Results guaranteed.
People often write to me asking me why it takes them ages to learn a song.
They think it might be due to age, dyslexia, or all manner of other ‘problems’. But it’s probably simpler than that.
My partner is always sending me videos with ideas for singing warm ups, usually involving complex clapping or stepping.
I tell her that they will be too difficult for the singers I work with. But am I being too safe and under-estimating the singers’ abilities?
Sometimes an individual choir member needs to be told that they’re getting it wrong.
In our attempt to not be unkind, we can sometimes end up being too nice, which is not helpful.
There is something special about a group of people singing together.
And it’s not just about sense of community and the health benefits. It really is a unique activity.
