Take vocal lessons with a singing teacher in

Benefits of taking singing lessons

There are a variety of places where people practice singing. Some enjoy singing their favourite songs with friends, others sing in the shower or while riding a bike. Finally, professional singers perform their art on stage, accompanied by a piano, a guitar or an orchestra, in front of thousands of people. Whether you do it as a job or just for fun, singing is a very beneficial activity. First, it is good for our mental health as music has a soothing effect on our minds. Second, it can be a great way to socialise with other people by singing together. Finally, through music, you can express your thoughts and feelings and be heard by thousands or even millions of people.

Now you may wonder what the role of the teacher is in all this and why we can't just practice singing alone. In fact, when we sing or talk we don't hear our voice the same way other people do. As a result, we can't be one hundred percent sure that we sound good unless someone else tells us so. The ear of a professional musician can be of priceless help here. And then, when you sing you need to breathe in a certain way and it's extremely important to learn it. Otherwise we can simply damage our vocal cords and be unable to sing for some time. A qualified teacher would help you master the proper breathing technique in view of improving your vocal performance. Who knows, one day you might work in an opera theatre.

What you'll learn with your singing teacher

You may have heard that professional musicians spend a lot of time training to play the piano or the guitar so well. Even if for singing, you don't need any other instrument than your body, learning to control your voice can be as difficult. Learning how to sing properly is extremely important for budding musicians as it will form a starting point for their future career. Even if you sing with an amp later on, singing techniques will help you develop your voice. But the benefits of music lessons don't stop there. If you're interested in jazz singing you'll need to work on different rhythms and keys. If you're fond of opera and classical music you'll learn what such musical effects as staccato, crescendo or diminuendo are and how to use them to add originality to your performance. A singing tutor will tailor each lesson to your artistic profile and make your learning process easier and quicker and make sure you master them well.

To work with other musicians is an important part of a singer's life in a similar way as a student interacts with other students at school. You can of course learn piano and guitar yourself and accompany yourself but it will distract you from your main task which is singing. And then, doing music with others is so much more fun. Why not start by doing a duet with your private teacher? Singing teachers usually play the piano or the guitar very well and will accompany your singing during your lessons. It can be good training for singing with a band or an orchestra later when you become a big star in Auckland or Wellington.
