You don’t need to waste a lot of money on a private music tutor. The following are some great tips to get you started.

The Basics

*Warm Up – The first move is to warm up your vocal chords. This is a significant step and should join your regimen every time you sing.

It will help you extend your vocal muscles so they will not be harmed during singing. Stretching also enables you to hit those all-important high notes.

One of the best warm up is humming. Simply hum the lyrics to a favorite song to set up your vocal chords for what happens next – singing.

Idols and amateurs just the same use this technique and hum tunes ranging from ‘Old MacDonald’ to ‘America the Beautiful’.

*Breath Control – The ability to control your breathing is important for hitting high notes. Every note must start from your diaphragm.

How can you tell if you are making use of your diaphragm? Sit in a flat back chair and sing the first notes of the scale. On the inhale of each breath the stomach should be the first to go up, then the chest.

If you think your chest rise first, you are certainly not using your diaphragm.

To feel sounds coming from your diaphragm stand erect and sing ‘ha, ha, ha’ repeatedly, in a fast way. If you feel small poufs of air coming from your stomach or belly you have strike the mark!

*Rising Higher – After several warm ups find the middle of your range. Once you find a comfortable middle, get higher on the scale.

To hit higher notes as you sing, still run the scales up from the center of your scale to a relaxing high note, and then hold to the middle.

While in this exercise it is important to not over stress or pressure your vocal chords.

* Vowel Modification – Each singer has certain vowels that their voice is nicely adapted. It is easier to sing these vowels above the staff or in high circumstances.

Have enough time to know which vowels perform well with your voice. You will most likely see one that you prefer above the others and you can change music to your vowel while you sing up the range.

Ultimately, the simplest way to see if you’re hitting the correct high note is by placing your hand on your larynx. When your hand is in position, sing from your middle range up the steps of the scale.

If your larynx moves higher as you sing you are not singing the correct way. The best technique is practice, practice, practice!

If you are not aware of the website YouTube then you must be living in a cave. People all over the world are crazy over this site. How crazy? Well, let’s just say that videos in this site have millions of views every day.

YouTube does not restrict people from uploading videos in their site. Even if you are not a trained or skilled film maker, you can still share those videos that you captured. Many just use digital cameras to record videos and the places chosen are not usually fancy.

Not only could a virus spread quickly but videos too. They even coined the term “viral video” for most watched videos. With the ease of just clicking your mouse, there is no doubt uploaded clips can easily become a hit.

YouTube can also make someone an instant celebrity. A man who showed his dancing prowess through his video entitled Evolution of Dance garnered a whopping 140 million views. Here, he performed various kinds of dancing from different generations. Not only he gained popularity but he can now also perform in gatherings if asked to.

He would probably just have his family, relatives and friends as his audience and his great talent will remain hidden and wasted if his video was not uploaded in this site.

There are other ways to get famous and known. He could have just sent his videos in other famous TV programs but they will not show the whole 6 minute dance routine he made. They will just probably show a few parts of it but not the whole thing.

If you prefer action or something wild, then you might want to check out the Battle at Kruger. It is about a pitiful baby buffalo who was running towards an alligator with mouth wide opened because he was being run after by wild lions. Good thing the baby buffalo’s herd came to protect him and chased the lions afterwards.

This kind of video could not easily be seen in ordinary TV channels. Scenes like this could only be seen in the wild which is place we cannot all dare to visit. With 50 million views, it just proves that people would love to see things like this but just lack the ways to.

But wait; let’s not give all the credit to YouTube or other video sharing sites. We need to remember that without the internet, none of this could happen and such phenomenon will not occur.

For many years I have questioned rules and standards for musical creations. And as a creative songwriter, many questions arise when it comes to going by the books. However, the following rule is one that I have found to be very useful.

Rule Number One of Great Songwriting: Your New Song is Only a Rough Draft.

I have had so many students, and seen so many songwriters spend a couple hours writing a song, start performing it with their band, and never change a word or note.

The problem with doing this is that some producers would consider the song amateurish, and would not take it seriously enough to record. Another reason is that you might need to spend a lot of money and time with a producer, having him edit the song to take to a level where it is ready to be recorded. You could spend a fortune before you even start recording.

Occasionally you will get lucky and write a great song the first time, if you do a lot of writing, but occasionally people who but lottery tickets on a regular basis will win some money also.

One should always consider that a good amount of editing would be needed to make a song into the best one it could be. Before any songwriter can build a list of hit songs, he has to put a lot of work into editing his masterpieces. It is never a good idea to scrap editing for the sake of sentimentality about that initial creative spark which inspired the song. Build that spark into a burning blaze of beautiful music.

Professional Songwriters have the good sense of treating every word and every line in the song as a Rough Draft. They will work diligently on each song, employing STRATEGIES AND TRICKS they have mastered, which are often considered TRADE SECRETS. Over time, they will triple check and review all the lines, notes, chords, and structures. A lot of tweaking will be done to ensure that everything fits perfectly.

But so many songwriters today just wing it when it comes to writing. I feel the main reason for this is a lack of awareness of these great song-crafting techniques that the pros use.

To help songwriters like you, I have developed my online courses at Songwriting Planet. It is to ensure that everyone would get to use the tips and tricks that, until now, have only been available to insiders in the music industry.

Editing a song should be given the importance of a make it or break it scenario. And one thing that I was not aware of for my first few years as a writer is that songwriters can actually learn these techniques to help them consistently craft songs that will top the charts.

The debate is an ongoing one, and no one seems to know the definite answer. So is Hypnosis actually an art or is it a science. Loyalists from both the camps will fervently argue about their case being stronger; however, I maintain that hypnosis is a combination of both these streams. So there! It’s a win-win situation.

Researches studying the nature of hypnosis have found that it’s a state of near trance, where the person undergoing hypnosis is extremely relaxed, both internally and externally. We experience a heightened sense of imagination while under a hypnotic state, and are open to suggestions and changes. Through the years psychiatrists and researchers have also figured out a number of instances in our daily lives when we experience these hypnotic states on our own. Times when we are daydreaming, when we are completely engrossed in a book, when we are driving or even while watching a movie; these are situations when we lose ourselves in the moment; we are concentrating on something we are doing with such force, that we shut out external disturbances and stimuli. Even though we are conscious of all that’s going on around us, it seems as if we have switched off mentally. And that is exactly how hypnotherapy works as well.

Hypnosis has long been perceived with doubt; all sorts of misgivings have clouded people’s imaginations. Some people called it pagan rituals, while others gave it the sinister name of occult. Popular mediums such as films and books also added to the image by presenting the hypnotist as an evil character who is out to control your life by uttering strange words. For the last few years hypnotherapists like me, aided with research findings have been fighting against that image. If you look at me, you will consider me to be a normal guy; no turbans, gaudy costumes, and cheap jewelry can be found on my person. I am here to break a myth, and I am here to say that hypnotherapy is both a science and art.

It is a science because hypnotherapy is being widely practiced today for clinical psychology and its healing properties. People the world over are waking up to the reality of hypnosis being able to cure innumerable lifestyle and personality maladies. From low confidence to sexual issues, from smoking to weight loss… people seem to be benefiting from the effects of hypnosis for a variety of problems. Hypnosis is a science because it deals with our minds – the subconscious mind. A lot of research has been undertaken to understand the way our mind functions; and one of the astounding discoveries was, that our conscious minds are constantly being directed by the more powerful, yet subtle subconscious. So, in truth our subconscious is the real driving force behind all our thoughts and actions; our conscious minds constantly ruminating over the feedback given to it by our subconscious. And hypnotherapy’s underlying belief lies in the power of our subconscious.

Hypnotherapy can also be an art, simply because it can be mastered with practice. Something like learning to play a flute, or learning to paint. While we may have the natural flair to be artists, we need to hone our talent. Similarly hypnosis takes practice and patience, before we can see positive results. It is also an art because it deals with humans and human feelings such as jealousy, guilt, shame, which have been so well represented over the years in literature. Hypnotherapy is an art also because individuals who have mastered it can use it for lighthearted entertainment – stage hypnosis is practiced successfully by many professionals, who manage to make people laugh even while demonstrating how powerful our subconscious really is.
