Five Practical Lessons in Singing

Lesson 1. The Care and Feeding of the singing Voice

How does my voice work?
- There are three kinds of musical instrument can operate properly: (1) vibrator (2) a power source (3) resonator.
- Three basic types of musical instruments: (1) Wind instruments (2) stringed instruments (3) percussion instruments.
- Breath of the player always is the power source; the lips or reeds in contact with some kind of mouthpiece are vibrator; and the body of the instrument is the resonator.
- In human the power supply of voice is the breath of singer, and the vibrator is the vocal cords. The vocal cords are located in the voice box.
Warming up the voice: Yah is good because it exercises the jaw and the tongue. Syllable with m, n, and ng, such as one, no, boom, mum, and ding are good because thes nasal consonants help you to experience a buzzy, resonant sound, and it is easy to get the sound.
A word to the wise: a regular program of physical exercise, a well-balanced diet, enough rest, avoid dance of drugs and smoking, and the habit of self control.

Lesson 2. The Shape of Things to Come

- We should be careful to stand the same way when you practice that you sing in public
- Try to imagine that the following words are being used to describe your posture: erect, poised, balanced, buoyant, expansive, alert, tall, free-to-move, flexible, loose, vibrant, and happy.
- The best place to start on learning good posture is with the feet. A good foundation is just as important to a singer as it is to a building.
- Some singer like to hold their hands in front of the body.
- Many people hold the chin too high when singing; thinking of stretching the back part of your neck upward will help you find the best position.
- When you are singing, your head and eyes should remain level. Avoid the bad habit of raising the chin to reach for high notes.
- Stand in front of the mirror and ask yourself such questions as, “How does my posture look? Am I standing tall? Are my feet in the right position? The mirror will answer truthfully and you can make corrections if you need to do so.
