subject: Singing Lesson Books And Videos [print this page] If you want to develop your singing voice to a level where it can be appreciated by others then it is worthwhile exploring what products and courses are available that can help bring this about. Apart from attending in person coaching there are also singing lesson books, CDs, and DVDs available that can be used to enhance your skills.
Books or Videos?
Guides to singing have been around for hundreds of years. Good examples include Secrets of Singing by Jeffery Allen and Brent Monahan's The Singer's Companion. Whether or not such books would be of use to you depends upon your own understanding and how well you grasp concepts discussed in a theoretical form. Generally it is more productive to purchase a selection of videos that would be easier to understand as well as providing a more broad knowledge.
The great aspect about using video as a means to enhancing your singing ability is that you can have access to the same medium of tuition as if attending in person classes but with the extra convenience of being able to watch the lessons at a time that is right for you.
Benefits of Video
Video courses provide benefits and tips that simply would not be available through books alone. You would be able to actually view techniques being put in to action making them much easier to learn and master. It is also possible for you to replay any lessons that you are having problems with. If you were attending training from a professional coach, repeating lessons may not be possible and even if it is it would incur an extra cost. By using a video guide you can depend less on your memory and more on the actual images and sounds presented in front of you.
If you have the time and the funds then choosing a video course alongside professional lessons can provide you with the most comprehensive knowledge. You do not have to attend in person lessons every week, just now and then to make sure you are not developing any bad habits and are on the right path.
By mastering the techniques required to become an accomplished singer you can also develop greater confidence and self esteem. This in turn can present many additional benefits in your life. Who knows, you may even be able to develop your talent to such an extent that you are paid for giving performances.
Why Use Books and Videos?
It is never too early to use singing lesson guides and videos. As a general rule, most professional coaches would not take on a student below the age of ten, the same guideline can be used if you want your children to train through books and videos. Having control and discipline over the mind is as important as the vocal chords.
When it comes to choosing which programs to sign up with, the internet will be the best resource. You can quickly become familiar with the benefits and pitfalls of one course or product compared to another and then make an informed decision that best suites your requirements.
