There are certain aspects of co-ordination that I fear can never be taught, although with a lot of practice it gets easier. What annoys me is that I feel like I could be singing much better if I wasn't concentrating on the bleedin' bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcn Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcn Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hey folksBad 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 I also have gift certificates for those who might want to give some singing lessons to somebody as a gift for Christmas.CheersJayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 How many lessons do you reckon it would take to learn some decent technique?I can sing in tune, but I often sing from my throat rather than from my diaphragm...would be great to iron out bad habits and increase the strength of my voice.

It can be quite an embarressing experience at first, but I got lessons for a year and found that after I managed to man up and engage properly with my tutor, that I learned techniques that I use everyday now. You never stop learning aswell.The value of breathing properly, warming up, range recognition and other such things all contributed to my being able to sing better, for longer.Hmmm. Sounds like a Duracell advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest droid Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 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. Class 2 NI contributions are only about 30 per quarter,surely you shouldn't have to double your fee to cover that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Class 2 NI contributions are only about 30 per quarter,surely you shouldn't have to double your fee to cover that!Depends how much work she's getting... :]Plus, 20/hr for singing lessons is probably still a pretty good price in comparison.

Guest droid Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcn Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 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.HiI 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.

Guest droid Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Your net profit as a business must be over the threshold if you are paying class 4.Too right 30\hr is the going rate for any instrument![sometimes a wee bit more] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've usually screamed myself hoarse by the end of our first song with my bad throat singing. Still, it's all rock n' roll, innit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
