Many years ago, I was one of the teachers-in-charge of the Music Club. A kind volunteer used to come to my school and impart vocal tips to my students. I found the following notes on my phone.

Make sense of them, if you will. Does this help you elevate your singing performance?

I can sing to myself in my own way, but I am too shy to sing in public. 🤣

Feel this. I think only my wife and a close friend know I can sing. My friend was visibly shocked when he found out 😂

Still wouldn't quantify it as "good". Maybe just capable 🤣

My wife was cooking, and I was sitting at the table behind her, i was singing in a low tone while drumming my hands on the table softly. As soon as she turned and looked at me, I felt so shy that I stopped singing and smiled with a red face. I can’t even sing in front of my wife. Lol. 🤣

Certainly love, as it can be blind, can also be deaf.

This is a cute story. Made me smile

In fairness it took me a good while to not do the mumble hum around her 😅

There may be better singers than him, but I've never heard them, so I'm only talking about the ones I've heard so far. #676377 #663764

@ek is the best pianist according to the same principle. I think @grayruby plays guitar, so he's the best in SN! 🤠

There are a number of guitar players on SN. Difficult to know who is the best.

We need a contest for SN guitarists! cc/ @Public_N_M_E

I have no idea how we'd even facilitate that 🤣

It could be a contest (bounty+sats poll) where, for a week or two, the stackers submit their guitars and then people vote for the one they like :)

We will have a Shred-Off at Stacker News Fest 2030 when we celebrate the one billionth item on SN.

I got some ability. But haven't ever done anything professionally. Good enough to sound good at karaoke... Probably not good enough to give up my day job.

Do I sense that you have honed your repertoire for quite some time so that you can sound amazing at karaoke? Haha

The most I do is solfeggio when I'm trying to learn a song. As I have reasonable relative pitch, I use this device to discover the chords

I never knew that there is a proper term for those vocal exercises! Today I learn

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @7e6e393a56 11h

Solfeggio is a great resource for tuning and developing relative pitch. By practicing this consistently, you will often recognize the distance between one note and another or even chord progressions without needing the instrument.

I was the lead role/singer in a musical as a kid. I've always wondered if puberty destroyed my singing, and have wanted to take singing lessons but never have.

Woah, this is a great story to pull out during social gatherings. What musical was that?

Since I have been here in Peru, the country to which I migrated, I have been able to receive singing classes, both while maintaining my job and in my personal life I have not dedicated as much time to it as I would like, but I have received singing classes. Singing is one of the great experiences that gave meaning to my life, knowing how to express everything that songs and music transmit to us.

I’m sure it must be a great avenue to meet people and relieve some of the stresses from moving to a new country

It hasn't been easy, but the world of music is something that fulfills you quite a bit.
