When Learning To Sing, Lessons Must Be On Your List

By Michelle Rudge


So you think you can't sing? Or maybe you are quite sure that you are a good singer and even sing in public? Which ever category you fit into, I can guarantee that in all your efforts to improve how you sing, lessons will get you there faster and with much better habits.

Even though I've been singing in my church (and other public arenas) for the last 10 years, it was only a few years ago that I finally went to my first singing lesson. After all those years of singing I had lulled myself into this false sense of security, believing that I knew enough to get by in my amateur singing. But I had no idea how limited my singing was.

Learning to breathe properly was the first thing that I learnt in my very first lesson. Such a simple principle but one that I hadn't learnt so I was so limited in what I could do when I sang. This simple principle is a foundation for any singer and was the basis for which I was able to improve my singing with each lesson.

I was lucky enough to be getting lessons from a woman who was a fantastic singer herself, and I loved the lessons and how much I was learning and improving. Unfortunately I came to a time in my life where I was not able to afford the lessons anymore. Though disappointed, I was determined to keep up the progress and started to look online for an alternative to one-on-on lessons.

And what I found was that there are plenty of singing courses on the internet. The benefit of the online world is that the lessons can be 'delivered' to you at a time and place that's convenient to you. You can go over anything that you don't understand, and you can practice over and over again using the audio tracks that they supply.
