Top Ten Things You Should Know about Singing!

• Your voice is a musical instrument!
• Everyone can learn how to improve their vocal ability
• Learning to sing properly can give you the freedom to express yourself!
• Singing is fun!
• Learning to sing builds self-confidence!
• Proper singing promotes good health, both physically and emotionally!
• Singing relieves stress!

Everyone can sing! Some people are fortunate enough to sing well without any training or guidance. But even those lucky few need to learn what they're doing right or wrong if they want to keep a great, healthy voice. Our voice is an original musical instrument, so we have to care for it like we would care for our own guitar, saxophone or flute. Also, your voice training is approached as you would train to play any other instrument; improvement is based mainly on practicing progressive lessons.

In some ways, a new singer who approaches their instrument as a beginner is fortunate. A beginner has a chance to learn good habits right away before spending too much time developing bad habits that can lead to poor voice use or even damage to your voice. Your body will respond to whatever action is repeated, so good vocal exercises really can work to develop a healthy and strong voice.

One thing we have to remember, like with any other instrument, it takes time and practice to develop the human voice. Keep in mind that learning to sing can be hard work as well as fun! Too many people give up when they don't immediately get the result they want.

Great singing is a combination of:

• good vocal health and technique
• ability to connect emotionally to your song
• experience

There are two basic categories of vocal training: voice teachers and vocal coaches. The teacher and the coach cover different needs of the student and have different skills to offer.

The Voice Teacher - will actually train you to sing by giving you step-by-step instruction. You can expect both breathing and vocal exercises that will increase your strength, endurance, and flexibility. Voice teachers will help you to develop your voice.

The Vocal Coach - has a different function and is best utilized when you already have a certain level of competence as a singer. The coach will help you prepare material for performance or auditions by offering feedback on the presentation of the song.

Voice lessons are as follows:

• For students 12 years old and under - weekly 30 minute lessons are suggested
• For students 12 years old and up - weekly 45 or 60 minute lessons are suggested
