How many times have we seen a vocalist stand rigid and expressionless on stage and been bored by their performance, no matter how brilliantly they sang? Have you ever watched a vocalist and felt uneasy because you could tell they were uncomfortable? Vocal students frequently overlook one key aspect of their work: performance practice. While breathing, resonance, pronunciation, and vowel placement are all crucial parts of vocal students’ practice, they must also perform or act their repertoire.

Once a song is learned, it must be examined. What is the mood of the music? What exactly do the lyrics say? Create a script for yourself, measuring each step along the way. What will be your facial expression? Where will you look? How will you stand? Will you sit? What kinds of motions will you use and where will you employ them? Once you have a game plan, incorporate it into your practice. I’ve heard so many vocalists declare they were just going to wait till their performance and have an organic experience. Unfortunately, we are all nervous, and 99% of the time this will backfire on us. By the time you put your song up front.

Practicing will Help you Become a Better Performer

When you are a competent performer, the audience can hear what you are singing. They will appreciate your performance without being distracted by your awkward or unpleasant presentation. Even the youngest students will profit from this. Would you put a young violinist on stage without teaching them how to play their instrument? Probably not. The singer uses their body as an instrument. It involves the entire body, not just the vocal chords. Teaching students how to act and use their bodies effectively helps them feel ready for their time on stage. Being prepared boosts confidence. Confident singers communicate effectively with music.

I’ve been playing drums and percussion for more than 15 years. Looking back over the last decade and a half, the process of becoming a drummer, the lessons from drum teachers, witnessing many seasoned artists perform, and the endless hours spent practicing, has been incredibly enlightening. I’ve grown to appreciate the drums.In fact, being a drummer has helped shape who I am. Learning music, namely the drums, fostered in me a passion of all arts, which has improved the quality of my life. Playing the drums brings me delight, which I like sharing with my pupils. Here, I’d like to discuss what I believe are the most significant advantages of learning to play the drums.

Learning Music with Drums:

In my opinion, one of the most important benefits of learning to play the drums is a better grasp of rhythm. As an eleven-year-old boy, I began taking drum classes. Learning the percussion instruments gave me an understanding of the rhythmical side of music, which has allowed me to appreciate all genres of music more fully. Rhythm is fundamental to music. Learning to play the drums, a rhythmic instrument, offers pupils with a core understanding of music, allowing them to enjoy all aspects of music. Whatever instrument one learns to play,

The rhythmic element of music is always present, whether it is played on a piano, flute, guitar, or even by speech. All musicians must have a strong sense of rhythm. Learning to play the drums, more than any other instrument, may provide a learner with the knowledge of rhythm essential to interpret music in general. Another advantage of learning to play the drums is that percussion instruments have been widely represented throughout musical history. For students who, like myself, enjoy modern forms of popular music such as rock and jazz but also want to learn classical music, percussion instruments can serve as a bridge between the two worlds. The drums are the most commonly used instrument in current rock and jazz.

Learning Cultural Instrument:

However, instruments such as the snare drum, bass drum, crash cymbals, and kettledrums are essential components of Western classical music. Learning the drums simply expands a student’s options to learn and perform a variety of musical styles. Drums and percussion can provide students with the opportunity to play all of their favorite modern music styles while also learning about classical genres. Almost all world music styles include a percussive foundation. Percussion has been used in music by almost all cultures throughout history and in every location. Learning to play the drums can not only provide a student with a genuine respect for music from his or her own culture, but it can also serve as a gateway to learning about and appreciating music from other cultures throughout the world. The drum is a culturally universal instrument.

Learning to play the piano gives students of all ages a great sense of accomplishment as they create music on the keyboard. The sounds created from a single tune to the complete range of accompaniment for that melody are delightful to hear. Students who learn to interpret music at the piano develop greater concentration, coordination, and confidence in their listening abilities. Playing one line of music to many lines of music develops eye-hand concentration. Our right and left brains read music visually, which helps us focus and concentrate. Hand-eye coordination improves, as does directed listening. Piano lessons help to develop eye and hand coordination, which leads to better listening. Perseverance and discipline in practice result in pride in the sounds produced by the keys. Higher degrees of focus result in biased decisions to play for greater self-expression. Continued confidence in reading leads to a better grasp of the composer’s thoughts as expressed in the music.

Keyboard Playing with Piano

It’s enjoyable to express and hear music at the keyboard! Music sharing fosters greater poise and sociability. You cannot read music in a vacuum since your playing is audible. As the difficulty level rises, so does personal confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Personal interpretations of the composer’s ideas are inventive. Making music with the keys can help us relax on a daily basis from the stresses we all face. Personal concepts expressed in our interpretation of music are beneficial to our sense of self-worth and enjoyable to hear. Playing the piano properly builds confidence in presenting our own vocal ideas as well as at the keys. Each learning stage accomplished results in a sense of accomplishment. It is a joy to hear daily.
