So You Think You Can Sing

So You Think You Can Sing Image by Gabriele Ottich from Pixabay First, you dont have to buy an instrument. The member fee or class cost is the only thing youd pay for, but asides from that, just bring yourself, the music, and a pencil. Typically, the group meets for an hour, sometimes two depending on if theres a concert coming up or not. The music isnt overly difficult, and if youre not sure about what to sing, to mouth the words until you start learning to blend your voice in with everyone else. Theres some brain work to do in the midst of rehearsals, but once you start hearing each piece of music come together, you can relish in comfort of knowing youre helping produce something amazing. Joining a choir is a long term commitment, but when you hear the results, youll be glad you joined. Anyone can sing. Simple as that. It can take a few years of practice, and you have to keep at it until you hear it. But, when that moment hits and you hear yourself matching pitch with your favorite artist, youll be glowing for days. So while you may think that the person next to you in a choir sings better, remember that you will one day sing so perfectly, folks will crack a smile when they hear you rockin a familiar tune and even join in. The moment could turn into a musical for all I know. Why not, though, join a band if you want to just play music with others? Singing is on a different level of musicianship. If you sing a song with two or more people, you all share in the tonality of a song, matching pitch, harmony, and rhythm. But most importantly, its that natural sound coming from your vocal cords that makes singing so special. You feel it as much as you hear it. Two guitarists doing the same only hear it by extension of their instrument and self-sense of tonality. This, in turn, makes singing a much personal experience, one which you can and should share with others. As a bonus, after you pick up singing, learning another instrument will be ten times easier since youll a working knowledge of pitch. Theres little reason for you to not join in a choir. Im sure you would love to belt out dont stop . . . BELIEVING when that banger shows up in your Spotify playlist. And why not? Its a collective moment when everyone stops what theyre doing to sing it. Dont let your doubts stop you from enjoying the little things in life. Sing. And sing louder and louder. As Sophie Develyn puts it in her interview with   Georgina Jones of  Turn Lights On, if you’re singing Queen every day you’re gonna be happier in work, and if you’re happy you do better work, and if you do better work the company makes more money â€" it’s easy! Literally, everyone benefits from your decision to become a singer. But it all needs to start somewhere. So whaddya say? How about you consider joining a choir this year and let your inner self ring loud.
