The Top 3 things to avoid Bad singing habits. These cringe-worthy bad habits are high up on my list of things that make beginner singers sound well… beginner.

If your voice gets tired after a warm up routine, or you feel a strain in your neck, you might be missing a step somewhere. 

• Don’t forget to warm up your body before warming up your voice.

 

• Don’t neglect breathing exercises.

If you’ve had any formal training, you already know this: expanding your diaphragm is good, raising your shoulders is bad.

To make sure you know how to breathe correctly to improve your singing skills, stand in front of a full length mirror and place your hands at the bottom of your ribcage on both sides to locate your diaphragm muscles. While you’re breathing in through your nose and exhaling through your mouth, your goal should be to expand your diaphragm, while keeping your shoulders down.

• Don’t whisper.

So many singers make the mistake of whispering during their vocal rest days, thinking that if their cords are not vibrating, whispering should still count as resting. 

Not true.

Whispering, especially loud whispering, leads to tense muscles in the front of the neck. When you strain your neck, it becomes more difficult to sing with a healthy technique, because your voice box lacks the support from the surrounding muscles it usually relies on. 

So Try to avoid these 3 vocal warmups that could end up creating bad habits for your vocal lessons. 

Most parents have already heard that their kids benefit from learning how to play a musical instrument for sharpening their mind. It also gives them a fun activity that is much better for their growth than video games, but it's often hard to choose which one makes the most sense for their child. In this article, we discuss the various instruments and what makes them the most popular and what makes them physically easy to play.


Our first consideration that we recommend for an instrument is the piano. The piano is not only physically one of the easiest instruments to play but it can also be very inexpensive to get started with a small electric keyboard to see if your child shows an interest in playing it. 


It's been suggested that the piano should be the first instrument taught. When a key is pressed on especially an electric piano, it produces an instant sound. This is unlike the guitar, which requires a bit of time to get the fingers to be able to push down the strings enough to get a full resonant sound. The voice or any wind instrument also requires a few lessons to be able to develop a sound which is good enough to be able to then focus on making melodies. Drums can also be a good starting instrument in this same way, but drums require a lot of coordination with the hands and feet to be able to make anything that would be considered a musical sound, whereas a piano student can sound good learning little melodies in the very first lesson.


There are other reasons why the piano is a great beginning instrument. First, it's the only instrument that can play such a wide range of the musical scale. The piano is a great foundation for all other musical instruments. Also, the piano is considered to be a percussion instrument like it's relatives the vibraphone, xylophone, celeste and bells. Very young children can learn to play just the right hand or left hand only, until they are able to put their two hands together. With just a few months of piano lessons, all other instruments will be easier to learn. 


Pianos also allow the person to play multiple notes at a time (chords like the guitar), which means that a pianist can play chords with his left hand and melodies with his right hand and doesn't take a long time for a student to reach this level.


If your child shows an interest in guitar lessons, if they have really tiny hands we recommend starting them on Ukulele. It's the relative of the guitar but is a little simpler to learn and can be bought for under 100.00 for a beginning Ukulele. Violin is very similar to the guitar in that it has strings on a fretboard and takes a bit of time to build up the coordination and strength in the hands as well as the coordination of the bow in the other hand.


Voice in combination with a bit of piano can also be a great way to get a child started learning about making music. If your child is singing songs and can sing in tune then they can learn to be a vocalist. Voice training begins with developing the ear so that the student can hear a note and be able to sing in that specific pitch. If your child shows an interest in singing, it can be very fun for them to have a few voice lessons to help them to develop their voice and ability to hear songs and sing in tune.
