T:I have done quite a bit of singing both in choirs and solos. I find that the more I sing, the better I get, but also I find that before each performance I have to relax and talk to myself so that I won,t panic,and when I feel comfortable and relaxed I don't worry about making a mistake . I just go for it! It also helps to say a prayer before getting to the mike. I also listen to comments made to other performers by directors and teachers, and adopt some their techniques, such as muscle relaxation, etc. comment here…

Hi Per! Thank you for all your comments.I belong to a choir of older Ladies 60-80 years young.I have always enjoyed singing & did some solos as well.But sometimes the high notes getting harder to reach.In my younger years I wanted to be a proffessional singer, but the funds where not there for my parents.Looking forward to a fabulous singing year.Thanks for the lessons & the opportunity of voicing my story.

Hello, I concur with the post and many comments. May I bring a strange comparison, but the olympics make me think of honourable pacifist activities in ancient greek time, mens trying to better themselves and the human race, but American Idol make me think of Roman Gladiators where the most vulgar emotions are there to satisfy another strange human attraction. It's the reason why I don't watch these so called musical programs but prefer to watch live shows from proper establishe artists, whom we have so much to learn from.
Regards.
PS: In fact I can recommend a website which is amazing, it's called "what about me?" (from 1 giant leap) that is a truly magical musical experiment. Let me know what you think.

Hello Per, What very wise words, excellant! I don't know if you remember me, I was learning how to sing so I could at my husban's memorial in October. Well I did that & I shocked quite a few family & friends. I felt as though I achieved the impossible, something I always wanted to do. Pressure – NONE! Anticipation – PLENTY. My teacher, (besides you), had her students cut a recording in August (3 songs each), for us to be able to compare then to now. BOY! What a difference. Whilst I did what I set out to do, something every bit as big, every bit as overwhelming happened. I took my recording to my 88 year old father who burst into tears after hearing it & said to his wife, look what I bred. He told my brother, (63yrs) "She sings better than the ones that sang the songs in the first place". My father used to sing as well and he used to yodel, which I am trying to teach myself and going OK too. No Olympic Gold, No Australian Idol, But a lot of self satisfaction, and some stunned people. Thank you Per.
