Singing is a talent, but also a skill, that many people have – and many other people want. Thinking about getting singing lessons in Los Angeles? Then you’ll be wanting the best! Read on!

Although talent is innate, the ability to sing is a skill that can definitely be taught. It can definitely be learned! You might have naturally learned to sing through culture, family or upbringing – to a greater or lesser extent. Later on, you might want to find an expert singing teacher. One who can further focus your skills and help you take your career and potential to the next level.

We all want to be able to sing well!

The ability to sing can impress friends, allow for artistic expression. It can even get someone (you!) into a movie or onto a television show or a recording contract. You might get a role in a musical, or any other opportunity you may be aiming for.

As the movie capital of the world, Los Angeles has – every week – literally thousands of opportunities. Many singers get discovered and become famous. But singing using your natural talent alone is often not enough.

Even the most famous and talented singers in the world have multiple coaches and trainers. Their coaches help them hone and craft their voice. John Davies at Singing Lessons in Los Angeles can help you improve your voice in just like the most famous singers in the world.

In fact, many of John’s Singing Lessons in Los Angeles students already have great careers. You can see and hear some of his student’s work here.

How can Singing Lessons in Los Angeles Help?

Singing lessons with John will do many things: apart from improving your sound, pitch and tone. He will also make sure you sing in a sustainable way. This means that won’t damage your voice or mean that you will get vocal fatigue. This is important as you move into the professional routine of nightly performances. An an expert singer experienced teacher like John Davies will also teach you some musicianship.

Musicianship is not only the basics of reading music and music theory. When you get singing lessons you will pick up knowledge naturally from your teacher John as you go about intervals, scales, pitch and tonality, chords, time and rhythm, and general knowledge. This dovetails into helping you being able to actually read music (to be able to sight-sing.)

Genres

Not all genres require singers to be able to sight-sing, but boy does it come in handy. Even in genres when it’s not usually required, reading is a great skill to have. Besides, in other genres it’s pretty much essential (classical, opera, choral, musical theatre, broadway shows, cruise ships)

Your Body is an Instrument!

Singing is so much more than just ‘making a sound with your voice.’ It makes your body the actual instrument!

However, just like with any instrument, in order to sing properly, you must know how different parts of your body work together. You need to know how to use your ‘instrument’ in order to produce the best sound. (The ‘best’ sound in terms of vocals may be the purest tone with vibrato and beauty, or it may be a strident strong tone without any vibrato.

What is ‘best’ depends on the work, genre, and you! Most vocalists develop a wide range of tones and styles that they use in a kind of seamless interchange during a performance. Your singing teacher John Davies can help you with this so that it becomes as natural to you as it does to ‘the greats’.)

Rhythm, Pitch and Harmony

Getting singing lessons will also help you get to know how the sounds you make form the tenets of rhythm, pitch, and harmony. In addition, music theory and the ability to read music can help you better understand what to do with your voice. You will be able to sing the songs you want and to follow songs that you write or have been written for you. (Imagine that!)

All of this knowledge combined will help you become a better singer. You will have a better understanding of music and the songs you will sing.

Vocal Training

Vocal training can also be helpful in improving a singer’s ability to hit a note – and hold it for the length required in the piece being performed.

Most singers have some vocal imperfection that is a weakness. It could be going sharp or flat (meaning, they sing above or below the note to a smaller or larger degree).

Why get Singing Lessons in Los Angeles?

Singing lessons help a person hone their note range to the most pleasing level possible for the ear. It will also help you, the singer learn to ‘hear’ what you are doing in relation to the backing (instruments or other singers). Plus, you will really learn how to pitch your voice to the true note.

Good singing teachers can help singers ‘find their right note’ for different entries. This is usefly when you have to pitch it from some other cue in the music that happens just prior to your entry.

What about scales?

Scales may be done in a lesson. They are a one way for your teacher to analyse how and where you move or change your voice as you go upwards and downwards in your range.

Actually, acales work is much more subtle and complex than most singers realise. It’s not really just standing there singing do-re-mi. Once students have learned to hit the right notes and navigate the right scales, you will see how this part of your singing lessons will help you. With the guidance of your teacher, scales can really help you achieve the right volume, smoothness, even-ness, and to modulate your volume.

Singing Lessons in Los Angeles lessons with John help you with not just the singing itself but the mechanisms required for good singing. Professional singers often have to sing many songs for several hours at a time. The untrained singer will quickly be out of breath and straining to complete a performance after singing one or a few songs, let alone when the show is on night after night.

Stamina and Strength

Good singing lessons can help you build up your stamina and strength. You will learn tips and techniques to extend their ability to sing a long period of time – just like the pros are able to do!

Lessons with John can also help you learn how to not ruin their voice. People who sing without the benefit of lessons may sound screechy at the highest range possible. Sometimes, they will not even be able to sing anything else for the entire night afterwards. A trained singer will never ‘screech’ and singing high notes correctly firstly sounds good. Secondly a trained singer won’t lose their voice!

Guarding Against Bad Habits

Some of the best singers in the world who do not keep up with singing lessons may develop bad habits over time. These bad habits can actually ruin their voice! You have all heard of singers who have had to retire from the music world. This is because of the strain placed on their vocal cords from improper technique.

Singing Lessons In Los Angeles teachers teach even professional singers techniques on how not to make those mistakes. With continued singing lessons, a person will be able to sing what they can in a realistic way and for a long period of time.

A critical part of singing lessons is finding out the range that you are most comfortable in. As well, you must choose appropriate repertoire. Singing lessons with John can help you figure out what songs you can sing and how you can best sing them.

What Type of Voice Do You Have?

Your teacher will find out whether you are a soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, and what type of voice you have. This will then help you hone your skills in from there.

John may pick a group of songs or works that a potential student can study and use to hone their skills. Singing lessons can teach you what can easily be done with your voice. They can also identify what may be more difficult for you. Your teacher will help you ‘work towards’ these achievements.
