Relaxing!

April 3, 2012
It's so easy to allow your stresses to spiral out of control and leave you confused, disorientated and unable to handle simple tasks.  What's that got to do with singing?

Well, not only is music a well documented stress reliever, but relaxing into your singing will only make your singing voice stronger and more effective.  Taking a deep breath is something that is often said to people to give them a moment to calm down from a stressful day, but how often do you need it for singing?  Well the truth is, if you're not practicing your breathing techniques, you're doing yourself and your voice an injustice.


We encourage all our singers, during their singing lessons in Edinburgh to use time wisely and to remember to be calm and present.  See how a singing lesson or practice can benefit your health!
 

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got!

How many different ways can you interpret this?

It's so true though.  If you always stick to the same things, you're always going to get the same results that you've always got, so this weeks challenge for singers, is to think outside your comfort zone!!!  For your next singing lesson, you should try something new!

If you have a tendency to sing ballads, then why not try a rock song?  If you always go with Musical Theatre, try some Jazz?  If you always go Hard Rock, listen to cheesy boy pop... ...

Who is your favourite singer?

March 8, 2012

It’s a question that we all ask our friends, ourselves and is a reason that we sometimes watch, with baited breath, musical award shows, looking to find out who the industry deems worth of the “best singer” accolade.  Sometimes we agree and sometimes we find it downright insulting.

Being able ...

The pop world will miss Whitney!

February 13, 2012

Very few singers can claim a gift that has immortal brilliance.  At the age of 48, her death has sent shockwaves through the musical community, and with her demise, on the eve of the 54th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, a melancholy force cuts through what is a prominent event in the music ...
