What Does Singing Mean To You?

Posted on 09. Jun, 2011 by in Health, Performance, Singing

I have been pondering about singing and the effect singing has on our lives, and I like to ask you a question. Why do you sing? Why do you really sing? What is it within you that happens when you sing? Why do you want to sing better?

What if you reflect on a possible future: Imagine you have a greater voice than you have today (whatever greater means to you). What would you do with it? How would it affect your life?

What if you reflect on the past? Maybe there was a time when you couldn’t do what you can do today. If so, how has this affected your life?

Or perhaps it is the opposite; that you experience pain because you cannot do what you once could?

Singing is such an important part of all our lives, and it is because it is so important to us that I love to help people achieve greater freedom with their voices, greater confidence and help you become a more empowered human being – whether you sing in a choir, band or by yourself… whether you just like to sing with friends, or you perform in front of thousands of people.

But have you reflected on what makes singing important to you and why you would like to improve? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Please share below.

    I have always sung very well, but in the last 2 years I have
    lost something. I use to sound like Loretta Lynn but now my voice won’t hit the high notes. I use to to play in church
    and would love to again. I cannot look at your video because my computer won’t download it. I’m getting another one soon. I play guitar, keyboard, and some french
    harp. It makes me feel so good to sing, it makes me feel
    alive. could you send me the offer on singing again? I
    deleted it. I think it said I could try it out first, and the program was about $200. dollars. is this correct? email me back please—-IN GOD’S LOVE—SHIRLEY G.

    Singing sets my soul free. All very beautiful music does.
    That ‘s when I feel closest to God and his creation. I dream about singing beautifully for no other reason than that I love it.

    I began singing popular music when I was about three years old. I never was a great singer, but I do love to sing. Then I learned how to play the piano, and then the violin, and then the clarinet, and the organ. I high school, I joined the chorus so I could sing. I became the choral accompanist. So I joined the Girls’ Ensemble, I became the accompanist. Then I was the first student ever to be allowed to accompany an All-County Chorus part of a concert. I began directing choir from watching and listening to other directors. And I’ve been directing a choir for 22 years successfully. True, it is a volunteer choir in a church, but we have a very good reputation in the city as well as the largest choir. I lost my voice to vocal node years ago, and became unable to sing in the upper range. I sing tenor with the men. I have begun getting some of my voice back but it cracks, squeaks, etc., and I
    sound like I’m doing falsetto. I can hear some head tone, but not much. It mostly comes from my throat. I have a very nasal sound, which I hate.
