Are you a Creative Singer, ? I believe you are.

Singing & Creativity

I think that most of us need an occasional boost of belief in our own ability to be creative. I know I do. But still, I'm surprised by the numbers of people who say to me: "Oh I'm not creative at all!"

This week, I decided to begin my free weekly zoom warm up with a short breathing exercise that "breathes in creativity" and "exhales the release of creative energy."

I believe that creativity is part of being human. It is the spark that gets us excited about life. So.... whenever I can, I will encourage you (and me) to sing with our creative being.

My video this week starts with a brief breathing meditation on creativity, then it's on to 3 vocal exercises and a brief chat about the singers' tongue. (View pic on the right.)

As with the soft palate we looked at last week, I think that many singers don't know much about their tongues, except that it sometimes "gets in the way!"

S0, I hope you will enjoy this warm up and the breathing meditation

on creativity.

FREE WEEKLY (15-18 minute) WARM UP ON ZOOM!
(here's a little more detail.)

Singers who are over 40 often need some support to feel worthy of taking time to sing. This weekly get together with other singers may give you that precious boost!

In this weekly group warm up, 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 try to keep them suitable for all voices. I also talk briefly about things like the soft palate and tongue... that all singers need to know about.

At the end of the warm up, we all unmute and chat for a minute or two. The session is brief and friendly. There is no pressure to come every week. Join us now and then. (Thursdays at 2:00 PM EST) You might just find that little bit of incentive you need to keep singing!

So... do be in touch with me with your interest in the warm up and any other questions about singing. I'm all ears!
