What great advice! We need more practical down-to-earth dialogue like this for our students.

Thanks for posting this, and for writing this blog in general. I would certainly say I lean towards the maladaptive side when it comes to singing, and for so many years it has kept me from pursuing singing.

I'm finally taking my third attempt at vocal lessons, and I'm going to try my best to "turn off my ear" and negative self talk and see where that leads me.

Thanks again.

I agree. Expectations on everyone's part have to be in the right place. I've worked with students as young as 8 or so, but my condition for all students (no matter what their age) is that they have to be able to focus for the entirety of the lesson to ensure that the parents are getting what they pay for (and that I don't go insane :p). As long as I have their attention and they're enjoying themselves, then we're a go!

I love how you mentioned that poor vocal habits both take years to develop and won't go away over night. I like to use the analogy of gaining/losing weight. It probably took you months if not years to add that weight on, so don't expect to find some miracle diet/workout that will get it off in days. The voice is the same way!

Very interesting read. Never thought of warming up like that. I agree with you that the foundations to good singing starts with the very basic things we do everyday. These are the things that would have an impact to improve singing.

Thanks again. Glad I found this blog.

I am so glad I found this website! I am a vocalist, choir director, and I am beginning to give voice lessons again, after a recent relocation. I've read several of your articles, and this is one that confirms many of the things that I encourage the choir to do before coming to service & singing. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences & wisdom as it relates to vocal health, care, and longevity. Blessings! (=
