How I started Learning Classical Music Vocal at 42
It has been a great learning experience since then.
One of the best things that happened after starting a YouTube channel is that it helped me to learn to sing.
As I mentioned in my previous posts, When I started the channel, I started with no formal education in music or singing. As the channel grew, some people liked my voice. Some people suggested singing with more feeling. Last October, I joined a group in our apartment that was preparing to sing a group song on stage.
As part of one casual discussion, one member suggested I join a class to learn and improve. She told me I sing well and that with education, it could even be better.
As the luck would have it, right at the same time, I observed that there was a free classical music learning session happening every week in our company. Since this thing was on my mind, I took an interest and joined the class.
Till then, I didn’t know the basics of classical music or any music as such. I just knew singing out of interest, just following the tune and the way others sing. That was all about it.
- I had the perception that classical music is boring. It doesn’t sound as entertaining as soft music or film songs.
