Chicago Voice LEssons | Q & A with Chicago Voice Teacher Heather B.
Q: Does knowing how music works necessary for an aspiring singer or vocalist?
HB: When singers can read music, they are able to learn new songs more quickly. It also enables independent practice. With Backbeat Chicago voice lessons, we generally start with learning to read rhythms. From there we move on to notes.
Eventually, singers should understand chords and keys, because singing is never really a completely solitary instrument. One usually sings with at least a piano accompaniment, or maybe even a whole band or orchestra backing up. It's good to understand how your part fits in with the rest.
Q: Can you express yourself as a singer from the start, or does it take years of knowledge and practice?
Your voice is already expressive. You sing, talk, laugh, shout, and cheer all the time. Voice lessons teach you ways to control your voice, and how to make an even more beautiful sound.
Q: What kind of role does a vocalist typically play in an ensemble?
It is quite rare for singers to work independently. Typically, singers perform and even practice with accompaniment. From a single piano to a whole orchestra, the accompanying instruments provide singers with support and a full background sound.
Working with other musicians and instruments is very rewarding. Choirs and musical theater productions have great communities with lots of new friends who also enjoy making music.
Q: What's the difference between feeling music, and knowing music? How do these two ideas relate?
For me, the difference between feeling music, and knowing music is whether or not your thoughts and emotions are involved. It's quite possible to play or sing a piece of music and not really "get" it. Sometimes our heads aren't thinking about what We're doing, or maybe we don't understand or like the piece, or maybe We're just practicing because "mom said so".
