How to Find a Voice Coach

May 7, 2014 by Taca

You are a vocalist… you have established that beyond any doubt. You may be a shower singer, professional singer or even a closet singer. How and when are you supposed to find a voice coach to aid you nurturing your singing talent? Many vocal coaches are today easily available but with varying expertise, methods and experience. Finding a good voice coach is very important. Here are two basic reasons for it. One, you will be doing yourself a great favor by improving your singing voice. Two, you will also have learnt not just to sing but also entertain. Before even deciding to find yourself a voice coach, ask yourself this-do you really need a coach in the first place?

Technique and Methods

One of the crucial things you must know is your potential coach’s methods and techniques used in training. You have all the reasons to ask him/her these questions; how long he has been training, what achievements he has met in his career, his/her style of coaching and even practical examples of his/her students that have excelled under his umbrella. If you find a coach who in his words “disses” all other coaches citing their styles then it’s time to run and never look back. Good coaches know there are several techniques and not all are meant for any particular individual.Continue Reading

There is hardly anyone who dislikes music. It is the medium that soothes our mind, refreshes, provides comfort, entertains us and even cures us from illness. Music is the essential component of our life and well being.

Music is very much related to our health and to be more specific, it has direct effects on the development of our brain. A child can hear sounds right from the mother’s womb. Doctors suggest expecting mothers to listen to soothing music so that the baby inside her body stays well. The sense of sound is completely developed when a child is born. The nature of music that a child gets to hear right from the beginning plays a great role in determining the basic nature of the person. The first three years of the life is most important for the development of the brain. The brain weight of a new born is just 25% of the total body weight and by the age of three years, this percentage grows dramatically with the building of the pathways and connections known as synapses. Synapses used for classical music are same as those used for the skills necessary for mathematics. So, listening to classical music actually enhances the brain’s ability to solve mathematical problems!Continue Reading

Should music teachers teach private lessons?

February 17, 2014 by Taca

Music lessons are the formal instructions provided for playing a certain musical instrument or singing. The lesson can be of two types; the private lesson and the semi private lesson in which the music teacher teaches groups of two of four students. A typical private music lesson is one in which a single student is involved with the teacher. The training session lasts for 30 minutes to 1 hour for a period of weeks or even years.

Private music lesson are more popular as the student who is really interested about music needs the calm space to absorb the skills that are taught. There are several benefits of private music lessons. In the private sessions the student gets the opportunity to clarify reasons behind their interest more openly as compared to group lessons. There are students who may find it difficult to communicate about their individual thoughts in the presence of their co-learners. Privacy enables them to open up their mind and feel free to express whatever pops up in their mind. There is no peer pressure in a private music lesson; the student never feels the tension of perfect performance as there is no one to laugh at their silly mistakes.Continue Reading

Teenagers are known to be very selective regardless of what they want. They are usually bombarded with wide selections and options that the world of music has offered them. Naturally, teens will go for what most people don’t expect of them. They clearly want to be different, unique and somewhat left alone to enjoy whatever it is. Well, what music do these youngsters listen to? We all know that preference will always remain different from one person to another hence making it quite difficult to learn people. Also we do know that teens love trendy music, trendy clothing, trendy hairstyles; everything that is new in the industry just seems to belong to them.

If today you ask teenagers if they could do without music, most of them will not even like the question in the first place. Music and teenagers are two inseparable things. This is the reason why you will find most teenagers listening to music anytime and anywhere. For teenagers, music is a means of labeling or identifying certain emotions. In song lyrics, teenagers may express varying emotions from happiness, anger and sadness but surely it’s a way of bringing out what the teenagers feels at that particular point in time.Continue Reading
