You Can Sing!
You Can Sing! Use Your Voice as a Key in Discovering Your Creative Potential! Yes, Holistic Singing!
Singing is not something you “just go and do”. It’s something that you become a part of. Does that mean, you become a part of the song? Or does it mean you become more of a part of yourself to become more a part of the song? It’s a good question.
Well, there is one answer here, “The Song sings You, so You can Sing your Song”! When you simply allow yourself to sing, you will experience this. Drop all pretenses, forget what any angry teacher or person told you when they said: “You are tone deaf, will you please stop singing?”, or When you “try” to sing, “try” to “hit” a note and “hold” it, it just doesn’t work out as well as you hear it in your head ~ sing it anyway ~ but instead, imagine singing from your "heart" in aim to "touch hearts", then you are actually sending a sound, you'll never HIT A NOTE AGAIN. Haha...but so TRUE.
Singing, I tend to believe,is a “Martial Art”. So with this ~ great confident SINGING is about taking a LEAP OF FAITH and DOING A LOT OF WORK! One thing though is true, if you believe you can SING WELL, chances are if you give yourself a chance you actually can! The CREATIVE MIND is already at work, and it KNOWS more about your GIFTS than you KNOW. You need TOOLS AND TRUST IN APPLYING THEM my friends, and so yes, I can lead you safely UP the ROAD in becoming a proficient or potentially even a great SINGER, that will depend on your LEVEL OF DEVOTION in exploration. Let me help you discover YOUR CREATIVE POTENTIAL using VOICE AS THE KEY! I won’t let you down, but you must partner with me to FOLLOW YOUR HEART, and trust that YOU CAN SING. We’ll then make a GREAT TEAM.
“Trying” to sing, is sort of like “TRYING TO TIE YOUR SHOE”, you either do it or you don’t, right? The beauty in singing is done with little or not much effort. Imagine a mom sounds singing to her newborn babe. A LOT OF LOVE and little FORCE of EFFORT. Can you see the picture? The path to JOY IN SINGING starts with little effort and a lot of Tender Loving Care. Yes, Tender Loving Care, for yourself, and the process. The good sound of music coming out of you, using your VOICE then is IMMINENT. Singing or embarking on Vocal Training is like having decided to become an “ABSTRACT ARTIST” because in singing you cannot see inside this instrument, you must train yourself to feel and hear inside, it is quite a different thing/artform. Other musical instruments, such as the piano, you can see the piano keys, the strings of a sitar, a violin, the holes on the flute to hold down for various notes to be played. Singing is such a different thing.
This in itself spells out why many shy away from this art form and are easily convinced by others that they cannot sing. So much of one’s personal struggles and gains are attached to the way we sing or if we are dying too and feel or sure we cannot. The sound of a song can reflect how you are feeling, yet one needs to adopt certain technique so that whatever we feel in a song will be audibly pleasant to listen to, and the singer will be enjoying the process and hearing oneself sing. The voice is generally reflecting everything that is going on in this amazing body of yours. And everything you imagine or think might be audible in your singing the “song”. So this is why one should learn the proper singing technique, which takes quite some time, and quite a lot of patience, but the results are worth millions.
Singing usually happens when one cannot express the same emotion in words as well. If a person to person communication was more expressive it would, I believe be sing-songy! If a song has an element of exuberance, it might then be expressed with extra expressive force. In singing, the “IMAGINATION IS EVERYTHING” so if you can feel, see the music, then usually you can hear the way it ought to sound. And as the music sings around in your head, then you will find a pathway to sharing exactly what you hear inside. One’s “inner ear” is the very delicate palate, and accurate for the singer to rely on, and should be used and looked at as an ear beyond the ear ~ an INTERNAL EAR. For example: If one sings more softly one might hear oneself better. You will find that this can be a perfect starting place. Sing as if you were singing a lullaby to a child, or to a loved one in need of a loving touch at the heart level. Music touches! Friends, remember, we are made up of almost 70% water, so every tone you sing, has a response in the body, of your own and all of those who have come to listen to you perform, or at any place where you might just “break into song”!
Yes, the “IMAGINATION IS EVERYTHING” in great singing. One easy trick for you would be, eg: See the tone, hear it and then sing it (not before you have taken these three steps). You must realize at the moment when you are singing, that you are as if you were an “ARTIST”, “ALREADY THE SINGER”, this attitude will bring great CONFIDENCE, so that you may begin this creative process “HOLISTICALLY”.
In my workings and a long history of working, teaching, composing and performing, SINGING RESONATES as a martial art TO ME. For example, if one studies QIGONG, very similar ideas may be transferred to PRODUCE GOOD SINGING WORK. There’s a great saying I have come up with: If you love the tone, THE TONE WILL LOVE YOU back. And in the traveling time of the tone(s) these sounds namely YOUR music, will resonate and CAN reach the hearts of many. So LAST BUT NOT LEAST my dear singing hearted friends ~ in singing the “IMAGINATION IS EVERYTHING”!.
