Two For The Price Of None... FREE Singing Lessons!

I don't want to confuse with the title here.... what I am trying to say is basically that I am going to provide 2 singing tips today... but, because they are normally free anyway, there will be 2 for the price of none... instead of the normal, 2 for 1 deals you see in Tesco... make sense? Got it? Good, then let's get cracking :)
 
Now, this first singing lesson is a little more technical than usual.  Kate, a Brighton & Hove singing teacher says a great exercise to help extend your vocal range is to sing an arpeggio and hold the top note for longer before going back down. With each repeat of this you should gradually get higher and higher. This will help the muscles in your throat to extend your range, both higher and lower!

In fact, on this occasion why don't I let Kate tell you herself and show you what she means:

Our second tip for today just so happens to be a good old common sense one... which on the back of a technical one has to be a bonus :)  

Keep your singing practice varied. Don't just sing songs or just sing exercises. Find a good balance between the two and keep practicing new material as well as old. This will help add new styles and techniques to your singing library as well as keeping you in good vocal shape.

As a litle bonus for being so good I came across this the other day and thought it would be interesting to get your thoughts: http://www.forbes.com/sites/michelecatalano/2013/02/06/nine-songs-to-sing-like-no-one-is-listening/
