Well, that is not necessarily true.
How to practice singing on your own for beginners
If you are fully present and committed, one lesson per week will make a big difference!
But of course, you can help the process with your own practice at home, and sometimes it is crucial that you do this. For instance, when you are learning a new song, there are many things that you have to do on your own… otherwise a lot of valuable lesson time would be lost! such as:
- learning the lyrics of the song
- learning the melody of the song
- learning the structure of the song
Here is the thing. In the study of the voice as a musical instrument, it is very important to develop body awareness by observing the sensations inside you when you are singing.
By doing this, you will be able to really “see” your instrument and play it in a safe and effective way.
But when we start the training, we still don’t have enough experience of feeling our voice from the inside, or enough technique. Therefore it is better if you practice your vocal exercises with an experienced teacher who can guide and correct you. Otherwise, you could develop some bad habits that will be damaging for your voice and much harder to correct later.
So the best thing to do to improve fast is to get guidance from an experienced teacher and then practice based on what they advise. Don’t push your voice too hard or too loud on your own. That will not do any good for your voice. It is best to start by building a good foundation that will allow you to develop a strong and healthy voice from the beginning!
So, what can you practice at home then? There are lots of things you can do to prepare your instrument and make it ready to make the most of the lesson.
- Start observing your posture and find the perfect posture for you. Play around with this, and see how the voice changes when you change the position of your body.
- Practice your breathing for singing, make sure that you are activating the lower part of the lungs for this
- Study deeply the songs that are indicated for your lesson
- Write down all your doubts for the next lesson
- Practice body stretches
- Practice facial massages to relax the muscles that play a role in your singing
- Practice what your teacher indicated you
- Research new music
- Listen to different versions and covers of the songs you are learning
- Observe the sensations in your body when you sing
