As any singer will tell you, if you want to learn to sing well and in tune, you have to regularly work on your voice.
Do you love music and would you like to become a singer? Have you always dreamed of singing along with a guitar?
You don’t need to have perfect pitch to learn how to sing with singing lessons.
People have been composing music since the Paleolithic era. This means that music with instruments has been around for at least 35 000 years.
Prehistoric man knew how to sing as a form of musical expression and would do so during ceremonial rituals as well as vocalising as they dance.
Singing is a musical expression resulting from deep breathing: as air is expelled from the lungs by the diaphragm, the vocal cords vibrate.
The sound produced can be amplified by the nose and stomach as the lips and tongue modulate it.
Singing uses almost every organ in the human body, the respiratory system, and the muscles in your stomach, neck, and face.
You need to be aware of your body, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and focus on your posture if you want to learn to sing well.
Of course, if you really want to get better at singing, you’ll need to put together a singing coaching programme.
Learning to sing isn’t just about singing the correct notes, it’s about conveying the right emotions when performing a piece.
No matter what style of music you’re performing, be it classical, jazz, rock, or pop, you need to be able to express emotion.
Superprof’s singing tutors can adapt to any level. Whether you’re just starting out or need to brush up on some advanced technique, you can find a tutor with the right training.
Whether they’re classically taught at a conservatoire, jazz singers, or professional singers, our tutors combine the motivational skills of a sports coach with the music knowledge of a virtuoso.
Singling lessons combine breathing techniques, relaxation, listening and working on your ear, building a sense of rhythm, music theory, and plenty more.
You can choose a singing tutor based on your favourite genre of music (blues, folk, opera, rock, etc.), the tutor’s age, musical training, experience, and, of course, their hourly rate.
The singing lessons on Superprof focus on singing technique, learning to improvise, singing as part of an a cappella group, or studying musical composition and sheet music. You could also learn to play the guitar and sing at the same time.
Since music is a way to express yourself and your feelings, you should also pick a tutor based on their personality.
