Good morning lovers of GOOD music this will be the first time I will be posting in this community. One would wonder why I captialized on the word GOOD well I love good music.
So far so good I am an ardent lover of good and quality music. As much as I love my creator I love good music as well. I am allergic to bad sound or bad music.
So I have been singing for quite some years now, right from age 3 till now. I have been constantly singing in my church choir and other choir groups. And this has really helped my music career but being that we can't stay at the same pedestal for a long time we have to grow, so on that note I decided to enroll in a music Gym class which I started last week.

I would say this is the best thing I have done to my self this year although I paid a token to learn and I am so so intentional about it.
I really want to grow musically.
The music tutor has so made things easy for all of us learning with him.
I have gotten to learn a whole lot about music this few days, funny enough I know how to sing but I don't know the basis of Music.

Now I will be sharing what I have learnt so far but that will be bit by bit so that we will be able to digest it.

1. First thing I learnt was that singing healthy is necessary and it's above having a nice voice. Again that the voice is the most treasured assest or instrument, to a Singer so he or she has to guard it with all deligence😊😊.
Just as a keyboardist cannot do without his keyboard, or a lead and bass guitarist cannot do without the guitar, that's how singers can't do without the voice.

2. I also learnt that the voice is a biological instrument and so it could be affected by food, environment or whether.
Some people tend to ha e cracked voice when the whether is cold, some have this itchyness on their throat or heart burn due to the food the eat like beans. While some sings perfectly well during harmattan some gets scared each time harmattan approaches.
Some people dare not eat oily food because just a smear if oil in their throat it scattres their voice.

3. I also learnt that our talking voice is different from our singing voice. Most people may have cracked voice when talking but immediately they pick a microphone to sing you will be in awe of the voice the produce, in the same vein some peoples singing voice may get cracked up but it doesn't by any means affect their talking voice, but in some cases some individuals when once their singing voice is cracked it affects their talking voice as well.

4. Again I learnt that we have different voice type, so what works or clears other person's voice may not work for you.
For instance some individuals too much of cold water affects their voice but to another it doesn't, some individuals mentol (Tom Tom, strepsil, Sheltox, pectol etc) works perfectly well for their cracked voice but to others it doesn't.
Because of this ignorance many has come up with ideologies that has made people spend money.
Some would say take Banana, some says chew raw okra, some would say mix Tom Tom sweet with bitter kola and it will clear the voice forgetting that it worked for them doesn't mean it will work for another person.

I can remember when I literally took bitter kola, garlic with some mentols and it looked as if it worked but overtime I discovered that I had this intensive heart burn each time I take this combo so I had to stop.
I now know what works for me couple with this class I am attending it has made me appreciate my voice type.
Yeah I now understand that my voice, your voice, our voice are all unique.
Some may have very thin voices, some coarse voice, some deep/heavy voice etc. But it doesn't stop you from ministering or touching life's or passing a message.

I will stop here for today but look at this space for more content on the Vocal Gym, till I come your way next time, I remain
