F YOU CAN TALK, YOU CAN SING!
We are all born to sing — I believe this with all my heart. People all over the world have sung for as long as there has been language – in fact only relatively recently, with the advent of musical recording, has the birthright of song been relinquished to the professionals.
Do you have a story? Perhaps there’s a reason why you’re afraid to sing. Many people who think they can’t sing have had some kind of experience that shut them down (for example, a criticism at an early age, a sense that someone else was the “the singer” in the family, an insensitive music teacher!) and this negative experience has gelled into a myth that they have come to see as a truth. Does this sound familiar to you?
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
We’ll start by opening up our idea of what singing is. Let’s play with sound, and what it’s like to simply make noise together. Let’s talk about what singing means to you and why, and what kind of music interests you. We’ll play games with singing and rhythm, do some toning and rounds as a way of exploring harmony, move and stretch our bodies as we explore making different sounds, and sing simple, accessible songs from different cultures. Finding your voice is both fun and profound!
If you want to learn to sing, email me and we’ll choose your first right step!
With life-long certainty I told Nancy I was tone-deaf and within two minutes she had me matching a note she was singing. I was amazed and a little bit giddy!
I thought I’d have to die and be reborn to do this!
Thank you so much for the singing lesson. It was something I will never forget and until recently I would never have done that. It’s all about growing. You are doing such great things for others with your gift. Thank you for sharing.
I knew nothing about singing but I have found that I can do this. It feels so good to sing with other humans.
ARTICLES FROM MY BLOG…
How Sounds Were Made for Disney Cartoons (1941)
I love the playfulness of this…
“A rare behind-the-scenes look at Disney’s 1941 studio shows how sound effects for Dumbo were crafted—especially the voice of Casey Jr., the talking train. Using glass scrapers, throat tubes, and early talk-box techniques, Foley artists brought life to animation through pure creativity and experimentation.
The footage, taken from The Reluctant Dragon documentary, captures a time when every sound was handmade, proving that imagination was Disney’s greatest special effect long before digital audio existed.”
Enjoy!

Being Seen and Heard
Scroll down to see a video of me modeling some ideas of things you might sing to yourself in front of the mirror…
Many of us who have felt shy or fearful around singing (me included) have trouble with the idea of being seen and/or heard by others. There may be settings and times when this is easier for you (for example perhaps you’re comfortable in front of a classroom or giving a talk at a trade show), but I’ve got a feeling that for you, singing may be something that triggers this discomfort. Just a crazy, wild guess :-).
START WITH YOURSELF
I’ve had students tell me that they’re even embarrassed to sing in front of themselves! They say it like that. With an exclamation point in […]
Knocking On Heaven’s Door
By Bob Dylan. This song is quite simple, very beautiful, and fun to sing.

Melody Tips…
1. In the verses the 1st and 3rd lines have the same melody, and the 2nd and 4th lines have the same melody
2. In the chorus the last notes on the 1st and 3rd lines go UP to the 2; on the 2nd and 4th line you go DOWN to the 6 of the octave below for the last note.
If this talk of numbers doesn’t make any sense to you, you have 2 choices: a) Don’t worry about the numbers and just know that those notes go up or down. b) Go […]
