TRUTH: Singing myths vs facts (a must read)

Good day fans you’ve probably heard someone say if you swallow a whole banana your voice will improve. He he he! Have you ever tried something that crazy? If you haven’t or if you have, let’s demystify the atmosphere of those music myths:

1. You must be born with a good voice to be a singer
   FALSE; Having a singing talent is an advantage but singing can be learnt
2. You can’t sing while you’re pregnant
   NOT SURE; Singing can be done in pregnancy just like talking except if there is any serious health related issue. But rigorous exercises should be avoided
3. Smoking weed will make your voice deeper
   TRUE; Those who smoke weed can actually develop a deeper voice but it’s a damage, which can affect the brain in the long run but the vocal damage could sometimes be reversible as in the Elton John’s case
4. The voice changes with age
   TRUE; Yes, the voice changes with age, at first it actually gets better with age, but in old age it gets worse especially if there’s an health challenge.Drinking will make you perform better on stage
   FALSE; You can’t give what you don’t have, drinking will only accentuate what you have. If you are into drug and drinks dependent you will soon lose your credibility due to uncontrolled behaviours and eventually lose your career.
5. If you lose your voice lick a lots of lozenges
   NOT SURE; Voice loss is an effect of irritation on your vocal cords, only a good rest can take it away.
6. To train the voice swallow a whole banana, drink raw egg, chew okro, drink hot water.
   FALSE; Voice training is achieved through; rigorous exercises, daily vocal warm-ups, regular singing, lots of lubrication (water) and a balanced diet.

 PART 2

1. There’s no good music again only jargons are left.
   FALSE; Well, you have been out of touch. If you joined the same wagon you’ll be one to continue the jargons.
2. You can’t sell hits, make good money or be famous if you’re not illuminati
   FALSE; “See a man skilled in his business he will serve before kings he will not serve men of lower ranks” Proverbs 22:29 (NKJV Bible)
3. If you can’t play a musical instrument you can’t write a great song.
   FALSE; There are thousands of successful songwriters in the world who can’t sing or play any instrument, playing is only an added advantage
4. Singing is common talent you don’t need a vocal coach to excel.
   NOT SURE;  But like they say “Any publicity is better than no publicity“. You cannot underestimate the worth of a vocal coach, even touring artists have some.

5. Music schools are a waste of time, you can learn everything at home by watching youtube and getting materials.
   FALSE; Nothing can be compared to a formal education, if your music knowledge was 100% before education it doubles after. Apart from that you cannot ask questions on YouTube.

   NOT SURE; What works for James might not necessarily work for John. But if you have to drop out, drop out to earn a certificate in your new field of interest.
7. Musicians always end up broke
   NOT SURE; Many musicians died broke but they all had similar stories, drug, substance abuse, girls, larger-than-life lifestyle, “wastefulness”. So the choice is yours.
8. Classical Music is dead!
   FALSE; Classical music has always been a non-popular genre especially among young people, it doesn’t mean it’s dead. It’s vibrant in Europe and a lot of people are actually rediscovering and reinventing the form.
