Choosing a Song

So, I find that when it comes to question, " now what would you like to sing ? ", most students find themselves utterly bewildered by the enormity of the question! Every song ever written starts floating about in thought bubbles over their heads, all immediately being dismissed as too hard/easy/high/low/mainstream/off the wall and a million other reasons why it's not the right choice.

Just a little tip. We teachers love songs. There is no judgment in our studios over your choice of music. Whether it's cheesy 80's pop, old school musical theatre, rock standards, R&B or in the case of one of my students, electro punk... All we really care about is whether you want to sing it, and whether it is a good choice for your vocals at that point in your training. 

No need to worry one little bit about what it is, but do have a little think - just a little one, before you come to your lesson, about songs you might like to have a go at - it will save you having to panic as your brain goes from concentrating on the minutia of the 1.5 octave Nay Nay Nay... to filtering through every song you've ever heard.. ever...

Hope this is helpful!
