Discover the world's oldest instrument: our voice

We often don’t realise that our voice is an instrument we all possess.

The ability to sing is embedded in all of us, waiting for the right opportunity and occasion to manifest itself. Thus, singing isn’t just for the exceptional few who are clearly gifted and can turn their gift into a profession but rather it’s for everyone. 

​We all sing in our daily lives, either privately or publicly. So many social occasions give us the opportunity to sing: birthdays, parties, concerts, sports events. Singing is a human activity; the voice was the first instrument humans used to communicate and to express their inner self and emotions. It really goes without saying that the human voice is the oldest and most precious instrument in the world.

Although singing comes natural to most people it’s not an easy thing to do.

​Like all instruments, the voice needs practice and proper training to shine through. If we want to push our singing ability to its maximum potential, and beyond, probably discovering sides of it that weren’t obvious initially, we must work on it, and work hard. 

I believe all musicians agree that, although musicality is to a certain extent inherent in people, it takes a lot of work and practice to master all instruments and to achieve good musicianship. And singing is no exception to that. This how singing lessons with an expert singing teacher can really help unlock our singing talents.  

So, you love to sing and wished you could do so with more confidence.

So, if you love to sing and wished you could do so with more confidence, or if you wondered how to stay on pitch and carry a tune with more ease, a trained singing teacher can show you the ways to develop your voice. Through proper exercises and techniques, the voice range can be expanded, and the sound of the voice can be altered and improved. Most importantly once you realise the gradual progress in your abilities you will have a new-found confidence in your singing, and that really makes the difference when it comes to artful singing with an Impact.
