The
Trouble With
Singing

Learning
to Sing Better
Do you ever
feel like you know just enough
about learning to sing better to
be dangerous? Let's see if we can
fill in some of the gaps with the
latest info from learning to sing
better experts.
Throughout
the last decade and a half, I
have found a new hobby This hobby
has nearly driven me mad at
times. It is not golf, fly
fishing or songwriting.
I've done a
little of all three and found
that they are difficult, but not
impossible. But singing has got
to be one of the biggest
mysteries known to mankind!

Please
allow me to defend my
position.
Music
is about the one thing
besides food, clothing
and shelter that we
can't as a society, live
without. Music is
everywhere and
inescapable.
So
what happens when you
get a hold of the only
musical instrument that
is clothed in flesh, has
a nervous system and is
a direct reflection of
the soul of it's owner?

What
happens when you get a hold of
the least visible, least
predictable, most flexible, most
stubborn, yet the most distinct
and unique of all musical
instruments.
6 Billion
Singing Opinions ...
The trouble
with singing is that there are 6
billion opinions on the approach
to singing and few are taking
into account that each voice is
distinctive, though the mechanism
is basically the same for all
voices.
Taking into
account that we've only been
looking at the cords for the last
hundred years, (most of this time
through a dental mirror placed at
the back of the throat) we've
only just begun to understand how
the voice works.
But
observing how Tiger woods swings
the golf club and understanding
how to teach his golf swing are
two totally different things.
In my
pursuit of vocal excellence, I
have to acknowledge that God has
given me the gift to simply see
what is going on inside the
throat and then prescribe the
exercise to accomplish the
desired vocal coordinations.
This method
has increased my range from 2
octaves to 5 octaves of vocal
range. I now sing up into Mariah
Carey notes and down into the low
bass range. I never dreamed this
would ever be possible.
How can you
put a limit on learning more
about your vocal talent? The next
section may contain that one
little bit of wisdom that changes
everything.
Incredible
but True?
Now I know
that sounds a little too
incredible, but even more
incredible is to be teaching
people over the phone in my
Nashville studio to students from
one city of the U.S. to the
other, students throughout
Canada, Europe, Australia,
Singapore, Puerto Rico and a
bunch of other countries I can
hardly keep up with.
To be
working by phone and getting many
of these people to add a full
octave to their vocal range in
such a short time, is the most
incredible experience for me.
The one
thing they all had in common was
misconceptions that singing is
rocket science.
How Many
Years does it Take to Extend Your
Singing Range?
Many
singers think that it takes 4
years of college to extend the
range just a few notes.
The key is
not in the force in your voice,
but in the finding of the flow.
It's mind over muscle. It's a
decreasing of vibrating vocal
cord (mass) until the vocal cords
eventually begin to dampen (zip
up), decreasing the vibrating
(surface) of the cords.
This is the
simple secret to singing higher,
easier, longer and with a tone
quality that melts in your mouth
and not it not in your throat.
The key is
in training the musculature to
obey the artistic desires of the
mind. Doing this, without the
assistance of a qualified and
gifted music instructor is "the
trouble with singing".
When word
gets around about your command of
learning to sing better facts,
others who need to know about
learning to sing better will
start to actively seek you out.
