Singing

What is this word? What does it mean? 

 

It SAVED my life! That’s what it means to me.

It keeps you trim…and you sweat as much as those in the gym.

You become a ‘social anthropologist’ through observation of the different tribes you experience each time you win a contract.

How did it save my life you ask? As a child, I was surrounded by violence and a dysfunctional family. But I grew up in a community where going to and being part of a church environment allowed you to escape the beatings and the fearful environment.

Singing, humming and listening to music was a collection of activities that made me feel safe and inspired. The church community activities engaged with musicals, costume and prop making and fairs to raise funds. Xmas was beautiful in the church hall. I would help on the stalls, as young as I was.

I surrounded myself with these activities. And as it happened, it was noted I had a clear singing voice. Perfect pitch they used to say; I had no idea what they were talking about but I do now. I was encouraged to take part in the shows and the church choir. The feeling of excitement and happiness overshadowed the darkness of beatings and violence at home.

Singing means emotion: you experience it with every controlled word attached to the musical rhythm and musical note value.

Singing means stronger muscles: the breath control you have to experience turns your lungs into strong muscles and that demands more breath increasing your heart rate which burns more calories.

Singing improves your diction: standard spoken English can be incredibly improved by learning to sing. Singing a phrase to musical notation automatically tells you to control each sound you experience.

Just 3, the magic number, things to consider if you are considering learning to sing. Others are: your mental health improves by the secretion of serotonin as your emotions activate the happiness and excitement singing stimulates. A benefit to improve your wellbeing on the whole.

Singing has been part of my life on a pleasurable and professional level. It is a respected activity in the world of music and singing unlike the commercial contests that are interested in the business of making money out of you.

You can earn a living professionally if you are passionate about learning and practicing the art. With Karaoke now an add to allow you to enjoy your new art and singing lessons available at 3MT with Manchester Shakespeare Company and its experienced and qualified musicians, you could find yourself with.

It is an activity = good health, mental and physical wellbeing.
