Classical Singers: Learn more about Posture, Breath and Support

The more I teach, the more my own understanding as a singer grows.

A brilliant bonus from teaching something well is that you get to repeatedly learn the details and deep dive alongside your students and re-examine processes. Learning by doing. It's an excellent by-product - a wonderfully harmonious, serendipitous result.

Learning how to sing well, and with confidence is not a journey you can embark upon with impatience. It IS going to take time, especially if (as I am) you're invested in the longevity of the voice you already have.

Remember that the JOY is IN the journey, every step of the way, exploring the twists and turns - joining the dots as you go if you like.

The skill of singing well lies in patience, in practising little and often and with focus - and with great guidance or mentoring. A further secret also lies in appreciating what the body naturally wants and is equipped to do and by not interfering with it to any great degree. Learning to sing well is about the feeling of being synchronised ... mind and body.

In terms of vocal technique, there's a lot to take on board.  For classical (if not all) singers, the simple ‘connection’ idea between posture, breath and support can seem impossible to achieve. But, as a sequence of ideas, it is a MUST.  So, if you tap into it, and perhaps get a feel for it, a whole new level of vocal possibility may be revealed.

Vocal Technique is important, but you do have to also learn to FLY! ...in vocal terms that is!

I have a companion PDF guide for my YouTube videos, where you can learn about the beginnings of essential vocal understanding and the tools that really matter in the long haul for vocal health.
