Soft Palate for Singing? Who Cares?

Published: Fri, 02/16/24

What does a soft palate have to do with singing? And why should I care?

Hello Fellow Singers!

I realized after a couple of recent online lessons with students that part of their problem with high notes was the inability to lift the soft palate. In fact neither of them knew what the soft palate was. So I think this kind of a video is vital for we "somewhat older" singers who want to retain or learn how to use the upper parts of our range. High notes (usually) need a high soft palate.

Have a look at my new, brief video (5:44) devoted to the softe palate and how you can gain more control over this vital part of your throat. WARNING - The short video of a soft palate in action that I show within the longer video is a bit graphic. Not pretty. But useful, I believe!

At the end of the main video, I mention my free Zoom Group Warm Up sessions that happen once a week on Thursday, at 2PM EST.
If that interests you, please read on!

Would YOU enjoy a 15-20 minute weekly group warmup? No one will hear you. You will only hear me. So there is no need to feel shy! We'll do a breathing exercise and then get into some good, basic warmups. I'll try to keep them suitable for all voices. I also talk about things like the soft palate that all singers need to know about. (Thus, my new video!)

So... If you have an interest in joining this always free group, please let me know here: [email protected]

Also... do be in touch with me with your interests and questions about singing. I'm all ears!

Have a wonderful singing week!

— My best to all.
