  1. You only pay class 4 if you earn over a certain threshold,so really you should be putting money aside each month to cover that.:D

    Hi

    I have to pay class 2 and class 4, so i need to keep that aside for my tax. Most qualified singing teachers in aberdeen city won't charge anything less than 30 quid per hour.

    Btw i would say that you would notice an improvement in your technique after 3-4 lessons, then if you didn't want to go every week maybe pay a visit to your teacher once every month as a refresher.

  2. Hey folks

    Bad News: I'm afraid that my hourly rate will have to go up to 20 per hour, so I can cover the NI contributions I have to pay for being self employed.

    Good News: My new rate won't start until next year. Anyone who is interested in lessons can still have a go for 10 per hour until 31st Dec :D

    I also have gift certificates for those who might want to give some singing lessons to somebody as a gift for Christmas.

    Cheers

  3. The laugh is, I can play guitar and sing at the same time.... but not bass, what the fecks that all about?

    G...

    Just like when you learn to play guitar or bass and you get to a point where your fingers know instinctively where to go, singing also involves muscle memory.

    If you don't know instinctively know how to reach a note or what the words are for a song, you will get confused. Juggling that and trying to play an instrument, it's just too hard. That's why it's important to practise singing, even though some people think that you just have to turn up and open yer 'moo :down:

  4. Hiya

    I am a singer, just graduated with a 2:1 in music performance as a soprano. I have a lot of gigging experience with covers bands, but it has been mostly playing sax with a little bit of singing. I'd like to join an existing band as a singer, maybe playing a little bit of sax if needed. I don't really mind what i sing: soul, funk, pop, jazz, etc.

    I have played/sang in Groove Cruise (soul/funk) for two years and Aka Ska (ska) for four years. I have performed a lot as a soprano, I also learn songs pretty quickly.

    cheers

  5. Of course!!!!! :kiss:

    I enjoyed that one a lot...wonder if there'll be another one???

    I hope so, I will need to write down 'bug Andy to organise a sumisumi gig' on my to-do list :)

    Since uni has wrapped up I fancy getting back into gigs but doing more singing this time rather than sax.
