Finding The Best Singing School For You
It is possible that at some point of your life for some reason you will decide to learn singing.
Not like the usual singing in the shower, but more like professional singing. In this case you need to head to a Singapore singing school and maybe who knows, you might become the new Susan Boyle.
Like with any music education you have to define how and what do you want to sing. Different Singapore singing schools offer different styles of singing and different education. In singing by the way you might even try to learn without visiting a singing school, just with some DVDs, manuals and books at home.
Before you start your Singapore singing lessons you need to check your initial singing skills. Actually everyone can sing, some people just need some more practice and education. Naturally, before selecting the right course for you, the teacher will conduct a test of your musical ear and singing abilities.
The most common test is to sing the right notes while the teacher plays the piano. Depending on how good or bad you are, the teacher will put together a learning program that fits you. At this point, don't expect personalized tutorial and instant recognition. Still you can always head off to another singing school.
When you visit a Singapore singing school take a look at the students and the graduates. If the school has received any award - they will definitely show it.
Yet even if the school hasn't released few world class singers, it still can be good. In any case the school will most probably have a vocal ensemble or a choir that usually performs in your area. Once you watch and listen to them perform, you will get an idea of how competent their school really is.
For example while the choir is performing you will clearly hear the quality of the school teachers and even something more. For example a school might be good at teaching female vocal styles, but have a problem with male vocals. In the performance of the mixed choir you will be able to hear all their powers and weaknesses.
You can also ask for help or tips from local music boards or look for good singers in your area and ask them for their recommendations or just what school they attended. This will probably give you the most honest information regarding your search.
If you eventually won't find a good school you can always try some private singing teachers. Singing doesn't need any special equipment so it will be really easy to learn it at home.
As for the final non-school related tips: go and learn singing together with one or two of your friends. This will make the whole process more fun and entertaining. Also when you start singing you'll have to start caring for your voice and throat.
So be prepared for some minor changes in your diet and start caring for your voice, or else the effectiveness of the education might go down.
