Singer’s Guide for Teens – Day 4

🎤 Today’s Lesson: “It’s Not Just About Singing”

 

Welcome to “Shoulders Relaxed,” a fun and helpful guide to improve your singing posture!

What’s the Video About?

Have you ever noticed your shoulders creeping up when you sing, as if they have a mind of their own? This video explains why it’s important to keep your shoulders relaxed while singing. When your shoulders rise, it can make your neck tense, which isn’t good for your singing voice. This video teaches you how to avoid that tension and keep everything relaxed.

What Will You Learn?

In this video, you’ll learn three cool tips to help keep your shoulders relaxed while singing:

  1. Imagine a Friend’s Hands: Picture a friend’s hands gently resting on your shoulders to remind you to stay relaxed. If you have someone around, they can actually do this for you!
  2. Try the “Wrong Way” First: By scrunching your shoulders up to your ears, you’ll feel how tense it is. When you let them drop and take a soothing breath, you’ll notice how much better it feels.
  3. Visualize a Low Breath: Instead of lifting your shoulders, think about breathing into your stomach and lower ribs, like filling a balloon in your belly. This helps keep your shoulders relaxed and supports your voice.


Exercise Time!

The video also guides you through an easy exercise to practice these tips:

  • Step 1: Scrunch your shoulders up.
  • Step 2: Let them drop.
  • Step 3: Take a deep, relaxed breath.


Repeat these steps a few times to feel the difference!

By watching this video, you’ll learn how to keep your shoulders relaxed and improve your singing.
