If want to learn to sing another musical genre, you must know that it is a little bit tricky. First, it is very important that you are aware of the characteristics of the genre that you want to change. Second, it is very vital that you know to practice in that particular musical genre differently. Third is that you must be able to put your heart and soul into your performance, it is important that you sing originally and naturally in the musical language of the new music genre.

In my own experience as a professional singer here are a few steps on how to learn to sing in a new style:

•Listen – If you want to learn new style in music, it is important that you listen to professional singers that have mastery in the kind of style you want to try. Blend yourself in the melodies, vocal embellishments, rhythms, phrasing and articulation that they are using.

•Study the performances of singers – You should study and dissect the performances of the singers, whether live or taped. Observe if they lay back or they sing perfectly with the beat of the song. Count how often they do vocal licks and know what are the typical licks they are using.  Read more...

With the advent of the internet there is no longer any excuse for not learning music if a person wants to learn. Learning music online has revolutionized learning, since it is the first time in history that anyone with a computer can virtually find out anything they want to know about music — and find out quick!

There are sites galore teaching everything about music from chords to trombone lessons to drum lessons to music theory lessons to guitar lessons to piano lessons, and a whole lot more. Many are free while others charge a very reasonable tuition. But think what a bargain that is; no travel, no traffic jams; no rescheduling lessons; no missed lessons; and because the lessons are online (or in some cases on CD’s and DVD’s) they can be replayed over and over until the lesson is thoroughly learned, which is not the case in a personal lesson or a college classroom. You have one chance to understand, and if you don’t, you’re immediately behind the curve and have to do extra studies to catch up. Not so with online music lessons.

Back just 15 years ago if an individual wanted to learn music, about the only places he or she could do so would be from a private teacher, a music school of some sort — private or public or correspondence, or self-taught from a music book. All of which is fine, but slow if an individual is really chomping at the bit to learn, and learn fast.  Read more...
