FUN DINNER PARTY FACT: One study of non musicians showed that as high as 60% of people struggle to sing in tune, but it's not because they can't.
20% of those were because they didn't know the mechanics of using their vocal cords (which you can learn) and 35% simply needed to train their ear to match pitches from other instruments (again, learning).
So singing is a learned skill, just like learning to play the trumpet or tennis.
Firstly I am sure you’re not as bad as you think. A lot of students tell me that they’re tone deaf and sound like a strangled cat when the reality is that they can hold a decent tune, so ease up on yourself!
We all start at this point, feeling a little nervous and lacking in confidence, so take it slow.
OKAY, WHAT’S THE FIRST STEP?
Glad you asked! I made a video just for you with the 5 things you should know before you head down the yellow brick road of learning to sing and wading into vocal technique.
