Love Song
This is a blog about singing, but not necessarily about singers.
Mahalia Jackson and Mick Jagger surely have little in common, neither in their technique nor in the result. Mastery of the singing voice, more than any other instrument, is in the ear of the listener.
Though probably not the easiest instrument to master, the voice is the easiest of all to use. Non-singers can sing, and everyone sings in tune to something.
Some believe singing is therapeutic in the same way most believe that talking about one’s feelings is therapeutic.
My interest here is mostly in singing as just another form of healthy expression, another way to relieve stress and gain insight, become more self-aware. A natural human ability not necessary for survival, but which exists for some more enigmatic end.
I invite you to celebrate and explore the mystery of singing.
