What do I bring to my first
session?
It is best if you give me a call and
we can talk about 'where you are' with singing
and what is inspiring
you to want to sing.
I'll make suggestions about what to bring based
on that conversation
(See Contact)
Some more info for beginners:
I know that the first session can be a bit scary. I will make sure
that you feel safe
and protected and as comfortable as possible at
all times during your first sessions.
We will progress at a rate that suits YOU!
A supportive safe environment
is assured! (This IS NOT a reality TV show!)
For me, the goal of the first session is
just to hear how your voice is 'right now',
so it can be useful if
you have a 'familiar' song ready that you can sort of sing 'a bit'
of;
doesn't have to be the whole thing, just something or part of
something that is reasonably familiar to you.
Feel free to bring any CDs that you
may have been singing along
with at home
in the shower, the car -- whenever.
I have had beginners at their
first session sing just one line of a familiar song; that's fine!
It can even be song from
childhood or school:
'Happy Birthday' - 'Mary had a little
lamb' - 'Amazing Grace' --- anything!
We can take the smallest of steps along the way!
The priority will ALWAYS be that you feel safe as we gently
proceed.
- As an exercise, it
might be a good idea to write and bring a list of songs
that
'I MIGHT like to sing if I knew I couldn't fail' |
- Don't think about
whether they sound too hard or anything,
just write them
down. |
| - Feel free to
fantasize!! |
- Don't worry. I won't make you sing them all!
This is more about me getting a sense of your taste
and
what style of music you might like to do. |
| - If you can't think of
anything, just listen to the radio for a while on your
favourite station - you'll hear something! or else have
a look at your CD collection; you'll probably get
some ideas there too. |
