Learn to Sing Through Experience! 

For the individual that is just embarking on the journey of learning how to sing the road ahead can be daunting. There are literally thousands of different ideas or "techniques" on how to sing out there.  We discover early on in the journey  that there are no instantaneous fixes with singing.  Learning how to sing is a "process" that takes even the most naturally talented individuals years to get to a certain level of proficiency. 

That is why it is so important that if you are new to singing that you realize and understand that built into the process of learning how to sing are the prerequisites of " time and patience". It is wise to give yourself time because if you don't you will be applying pressure that will rob you of the joy of singing and that is perhaps the most important reason why we sing.  So to with patience if you can offer to yourself the same love and patience that you would offer to a young child your growth will be exponential.

Giving yourself the gift of "self acceptance" along the journey will actually accelerate and help the process along.  That means accepting yourself as you are now, and your voice as it is now without condemning yourself because you're a novice or intermediary.

 Starting the process from a positive standpoint can make the difference between sabotaging yourself and loosing interest or taking a journey of self exploration that becomes more interesting and exciting each step of the way in spite of the hurdles.

 At Healing Singing we learn how to sing through experience.  We take a different approach to the learning process. There are no standards or artistic rules to live up to.  The singer is given an environment that is safe, non judgmental and allows complete freedom to learn naturally, through creativity and experimentation. Experience is the real teacher.

This approach can also be extraordinarily helpful to the experienced singer who is the result of many years of singing classes.

Singers can get "stuck" in the technique phase of the singing process. Their minds remain cluttered with directions and concepts that have never become "automatic" and part of the "intuitive" process. They have to focus most of their energy on what they've been told is correct rather than following their own natural instincts.

  As a singer you can't chase two rabbits at once.  If the mind is working overtime focused on the voice then it can't be free to express the message within the music. Technique was created to free the singer and in many cases it imprisons the singer; it is a good thing as long as it remains a support structure and not a boundary that constricts the artist.

If you are a singer that is the result of years of training and singing classes and would like to "break the bonds that bind you" to get your work to the next level of creative freedom then Healing Singing might be just the place for you.

Whether your a beginner or the result of years of training... if you need a safe place where you can sing without having to live up to any outside pressure  Healing Singing was created with you in mind! 

 All you need to have is the willingness... the music and the Universe will do the rest.

Learn to sing through experience, get up and sing!
