Singing lessons can help you get in touch with your body, function as meditation and give you a more personalized understanding of music.
It doesn’t matter if you want to continue singing only in your shower, in karaoke bars or if you are keen on getting on a stage and enjoy the spotlight; online singing lessons can help you develop your consciousness in many perspectives regardless of your level and motivation!
Your Body: Your Instrument
Learning how to breathe properly, fixing your posture and working on your muscles that you have not paid attention before can make you become much more aware of your own body. Think of it this way: if you have never danced before and you are learning a new move that requires a lot of precise movement with your feet; you will realize that there are so many spots in your legs and feet that you have never concentrated on before, so many muscles that you didn’t know you could control and have a better sensation for. Same applies for singing! To get a good sound out of your body means supporting it as much as you can with the right muscles and feeling comfortable during this phase. Also being able to have a variety of sounds in your instrument you need to get a precise understanding about your mouth, tongue, neck, lips, vocal folds and many other parts of your body that you never spent much time thinking about. Using your own body as your instrument will keep you entertained and engaged as you go through this journey! Developing a better sound with proper vocal coaching will also mean developing a stronger appreciation for your health…
Give Your Brain A New Window: Sing!
One of the common points we like about our favorite singers is that they can make us forget about all the things that keep us busy in our heads. They can make us think about different stories/emotions, a completely new window of focus that breaks our daily routine… This magical power of singing doesn’t have to be limited with only listening to singers. You can try it as your own personal mind-shifting technique as well! This can be as easy as taking a five minute break in your office job and do a breathing exercise. You will notice how much this can help you focus better! As you learn more from your singing lessons you will have more things to do for this process as well. If you don’t like how you sound when you are singing your favorite song; give it time, don’t judge yourself but use this learning process as your personal space you take from the rest of your life.
The beauty of singing is that your instrument will follow you whereever you go! You can practice the material you learn, the new habits you discover anywhere and anytime. Your voice is always with you!
Personalize Your Music: Sing It!
Learning how to sing can help you carry the information you have in your ears to your muscles. This can give you a much concrete sense of your own musical ideas. Many musicians find it helpful to sing as they play or play as if they are singing.
There’s no instrument that is closer to your body than your voice. This becomes a very big advantage when it comes to “feeling” the music you are making. The physical sensation of your sound, what a musical phrase requires from you as you sing through, how high notes should be placed in your mouth, how a “struggling” tone is defined with your vocal folds, neck and mouth…. These are only some of the dimensions that singing makes you think about as you make your music more and more physical. Your muscles learn and make new habits that later on you define as comfort. This process is incredibly helpful to conceptualize music in a tactual dimension. You learn to physically feel music faster and add to it with all of your body.
