Vocal Anatomy (part 7)
Power lunch. Power walk. Power nap. Hey, as long as we’re making ourselves feel powerful by renaming natural activities, allow me to introduce my superturbo, patent-pending breathing technique for singers. To be honest, there's nothing new about power breathing. Every baby on the planet (..)

Vocal Anatomy (part 6)
Sooner or later you’ll have to go in there, and sooner or later you’ll have to come out. For some, the studio is a haven for creation. The controlled environment provides a cocoon for exploring a song. People who love to record, though, are usually reluctant to release their (..)

Vocal Anatomy (part 5)
David Bowie has a fast one. Mary J. Blige has a slow, sultry, one. Maynard James Keenan doesn’t have a trace of one. Singing with vibrato is a matter of taste. Having a choice is a matter of control. For most singers, the subtle, rhythmical movement of vibrato feels more like fate. When (..)

Vocal Anatomy (part 4)
Why do some singers cut through a mix loud and clear while others struggle to be heard? The difference is tone. Some people are born with an instrument which produces a full spectrum of harmonics; the vocal version of a grand piano versus an upright. These harmonics, or overtones, ring (..)

Vocal Anatomy (part 3)
Winter and show biz don't mix. Biting winds and piles of snow keep potential audiences at home and make things difficult for load-ins. Then there’s the additional burden of protecting your voice while everyone around is coughing and sneezing. As a singer, you can’t afford to succumb (..)

Vocal Anatomy (part 2)
Whether you rap, sing, belt, scream, croon or perform spoken word, you will get more from your voice if you warm up first. Actually, there’s no avoiding it. Those who feel it’s unnecessary, or silly, are simply warming up as they sing rather than before. There is a huge difference, (..)

Vocal Anatomy (part 1)
Singing starts with an inhale. Most people know this action requires the diaphragm but are not aware of its location or how it works. Place your hand over your belly button. This area is NOT your diaphragm; it is the abdominal wall. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle which divides your torso, (..)

Triads
More triads For those who have been following the lessons that have been posted recently (and for those who haven't) there have been lots of references to triads (See Judy's excellent lesson on Chord Theory). So while we're on the subject I thought I'd continue the discussion with more triad (..)

Flażolety
Flażolety Flażolety naturalne Dźwięk flażoletu jest stosunkowo cichy, ale dość długo brzmiący przy charakterystycznej miękkiej barwie. Flażolety naturalne otrzymujemy delikatnym trąceniem struny dotkniętej bardzo lekko w określonym miejscu palcem lewej ręki. Po trąceniu struny, (..)

Czym jest aranżacja?
Czym jest aranżacja? Jednym z najciekawszych, a zarazem najtrudniejszych etapów w procesie tworzenia utworu muzycznego jest moment, w którym zarys utworu, pierwsza linia melodyczna, pierwotne akordy itp.. zamieniają się w "pełny" utwór muzyczny; mowa oczywiście o etapie tak zwanej (..)
