Why Should I Learn to Sing

By Sep Vergouwen


As you make progress learning, it may become hard to keep motivated, and you may ask yourself why you are learning at all. Learning to sing is a process, after all. Try looking at why you want to sing and what you hope to achieve.What are your goals with singing? Below I have put some things to think about to encourage you to keep going. Personally, I find the last one the most interesting.Singing helps develop your physical conditioning and ability to focus. It gives you opportunities to have fun and socialize more, as well as helping to develop your self-confidence and increase your personal attractiveness.Health and Focus.Great singing requires proper breathing. That generally means taking deeper, healthier breaths.

This can have similar effects on your body to aerobics and meditation. When your breathing is healthier, you will be more capable of focusing.Some athletes use machines just to put pressure on their breathing so they can improve their athletic ability. Singing can have a similar effect on your body as you train yourself to control your breathing. Singing can also give you an opportunity to express yourself and your creative side.

Without question, the very best way to learn to sing is to hire a professional voice coach. You should be able to find a good instructor in your local area who will teach you the basics of vocal technique and breath control needed to be a good singer. But do make sure you get references before you hire a singing instructor, as it's all too easy to hire someone who really has no business teaching how to sing.

When you are part of any team, you have an opportunity to contribute to the group. One day, you may even have the opportunity to take part as a leader of some kind.Self-confidence.Many people are afraid of performing, or are nervous when people hear them sing. They do not know what they sound like and are uncertain of their ability. Once you have begun to work on your singing ability, you will gain confidence, develop a greater awareness of your ability, and know how to develop it.

Although utilizing a vocal coach is the best way to learn to sing, it's very expensive for most of us (usually around $50 to $200 an hour), and it's somewhat difficult to find a singing instructor who's truly good at teaching beginners how to sing.

Everyone wants to be able to sing, that's human nature. Being able to sing well enough to make a career out of it, takes some training even if you have raw natural talent. Yes, you can learn to become a great singer - you can train your voice just like you learn any instrument. You can become a singer of whatever level you desire with the right training, plenty of practice, and dedication to sticking to it.

Think about it: healthy, focused, happy, popular, self-confident and a great singer. Sounds almost like a personal ad...Enough said. So what is stopping you now?It is said that good singers are born, not made. Many singing experts would disagree. While talent is a plus, it is not the only factor in determining a really good singer. Even the most popular singers in the world can tell you that anyone can learn to sing! The answer to the question, "Can anyone learn to sing?" is a resounding yes.Hiring costly voice coaches are not musts in learning how to sing. Ask the famous singers and not all of them went to singing lessons when they were starting in their careers. Aside from talent, and practice, confidence is very important.

Shows like American Idol, while very popular, do not really mold excellent singers. The candidates are selected mainly for entertainment purposes only and the ones who win are chosen by voters not by a panel of experts. Another myth about singing is the one about majority of the populace being "tone-deaf". Being tone-deaf means that one is singing too loud, off-key and off pitch. In reality, less than 2% of the people are tone-deaf. Those who find it hard to sing simply need ear training. Through a singing tutor or a learn-to-sing program, tone-deaf individuals would be a thing of the past.

There are many different options for you. You can go out and buy books, cd's, and dvd's. There is a plethora of instructional materials that will help guide you to finding and perfecting your voice. You can also hire a personal teacher. Check the bulletin boards at places like Guitar Center for private tutors. Or, you can go the old fashion route. Find a few of the records that you really admire, turn the music up, and sing along.A Singing Course or Get a Good Coach? Whatever method you choose, the answer to the question "Can I learn to sing rock?" is yes. The beautiful thing about rock and roll music is that it has more to do with attitude then anything else.

A very important tip is to keep your voice within your vocal range. The quality of the voice is better than the hitting the high notes. Billie Holiday is a good example of successful singer with only an octave range.Mimicking your favorite singers is not a bad thing but having your own style of singing definitely makes you a better singer. The reason why pop stars became famous is that they usually have developed a unique style of singing. Aside from a unique style, you should also learn to breathe the right way and add dynamics to your singing.
