Singing Lessons for Beginners

Many like to sing but are too shy to sing in front of their friends or in public. They do not have the confidence in their singing. They want to sing better but do not know how. They think that they have a poor voice and singing is for the gifted. Harry Lorraine, the world-famous memory expert, says that there is no such thing as a poor memory, only an untrained memory. Similarly, there is no such thing as a poor voice only an untrained voice.

There are many schools of singing which cater to the different genre - country, pop, classical, opera, etc. Different music schools started to proliferate with the popularity of singing competitions like American Idol and Britain's Got Talent. For beginners who are considering taking singing lessons, they are overwhelmed by the large number of music schools or online singing courses offering all kinds of singing lessons. It is important for beginners to know that there is only one natural way to sing.

Singing is nothing more than speaking at different pitches.

Your vocal power is defined by the strength of the muscles in and around the larynx(voice box) and vocal cords, and it is crucial to isolate other muscles. Engaging other muscles will disrupt the fine balance of muscle strength and air, regardless of genre. A good vocal technique should concentrate on training the larynx muscles to do all the vocal cords adjustment.

For those of you who are already taking singing lessons, and if your singing teachers are asking you to focus on "give your tone more support" or "placing your tone forward", you should consider getting a new singing teacher. There are also many traditional singing teachers who over emphasize the importance of diaphragm control, resulting in building too much air in the singer's body. If the vocal cords are not sufficiently robust to withhold the volume of air gushing out from the lungs, the result is a sudden change in tonality and capping the singer's range. Proper breathing is important but it is the result of good vocal production and not the cause of it. And good vocal production comes from good vocal technique.

Beginners should start off on the right footing. Select the correct vocal technique. Not all vocal techniques are created equal. Based on the human anatomy and physiology of vocal production, there is only one safe and natural way to sing.

Speech Level Singing is a revolutionary vocal technique that is founded upon the idea that you should sing as naturally as you speak. This vocal technique is trusted by more than 120 Grammy Award winners. Although Speech Level Singing is a well established vocal technique, there are not many certified Speech Level Singing teachers in Singapore or Asia. Therefore it behooves the beginners to seek out only certified Speech Level Singing teachers. The value of the training is in the feedback from the SLS teachers.
