HOW TO SING From the Bottom of Your Heart At the TOP OF YOUR LUNGS Shallow breather? Tone Deaf? Does your throat hurt when you sing or speak for extended periods? Do you have something special inside that longs to express itself? Sound pretty good in private but want to warble unabashed and proud in public? Kelly Kerr has developed a highly effective and easy to learn Breathing and Singing Method to expand breathing capacity and strengthen the voice. She has simplified the most effective breathing and singing techniques used by the top professional pop, rock and classical singers and formed them into a compact and fun method. Her method has been used by other singing teachers, professional singers, speakers, health professionals, mental health counselors. asthmatics, athletes, choirs and shower singers. CLASSES INCLUDE SECTION I: FUNDATMENTALS of BREATHING It's ALL about the breathing, friends. Really REALLY about the breathing. (And it's much more than learning to use your diaphragm). Breathing for singing is unique. We will identify each new skill and give you time to practice each basic task and provide interesting and fun exercises to make your practice time enjoyable and fruitful. Classes 1 through 10 you will learn:
This curriculum will help you to learn the basic forms for building a solid lifetime technique. Please understand that any art form takes time for the body to integrate and utilize. Although you will notice an improvement in your voice from the very first lesson, you must understand that these are the beginning forms and that there are many skills left to learn. We will focus on your middle range in order to set in place skills that will be applied to later lessons and used to open your full range. Each online class includes:
About You're not tone deaf. You just don't know how to make your voice go up and down. And no one taught you the basics when you were a child, so you were relegated to the untalented seat in the social order, right? Yeah, right. Kelly has taught so-called tone deaf people for decades and can show you that it's not as big a deal as everyone seems to think it is. After the first lesson, you will understand what to do to strengthen your listening skills and body/voice connection. It's about brain-muscle coordination. If you can talk, your voice can easily be trained to sing and speak in gorgeous tones. It's just a matter of training muscles AND building trust in the subtle cues of tonality. Anyone who can speak can sing well. Since it's always all about the breathing, you will learn to breathe correctly THEN learn how to match pitches. It will be MUCH easier to train your body when you have enough air. Kelly's Note to professional and /or experienced singers: It is my experience, through almost thirty years of teaching, that most singers have missed some of the essential basics in their training. It is important to approach these technique with "Beginner's Mind". Do each exercise with full attention and complete each fundamental exercise the required number of minutes and times. NO one is too good or educated to skip these basics. They are sequential and you will see the logical progression and how it relates to your previous lessons. (I've studied singing for over forty years and I use each of these techniques every single time I open my mouth to sing). If you wish to use these techniques in your own voice studio, DO NOT improvise. Each technique is placed in specific order as this is the order the body follows when opening to breath and sound. SECTION II - The breathing aspects of singing/resonant speaking are the absolute groundwork for a powerful voice. Once the control of the voice has been dis-entangled from the throat you can discover the muscles that really do the singing. No wasted effort. No pain. Plain fun. SECTION III: VOWELS, CONSONANTS AND VOLUME SECTION IV: PHRASING, EXPANDING THE UPPER and LOWER RANGES |
