Synopsis "Think you can't sing? Think again!: How to find the voice you never thought you'd have (in English)"
Are you a terrible singer?Have you been told that you're tone-deaf? Were you asked to mime in the school choir?Do you avoid singing carols at Christmas because you don't want to be laughed at? Would you love to join a choir, but you don't think you could ever be good enough to do so? If you've answered yes to any of those questions, this book is aimed specifically at you.Here is a fact; if you can recognise melodies, you're highly unlikely to be tone-deaf, and therefore you have the potential to learn to sing. It doesn't matter how many people have told you that you can't sing, the truth is that you probably can be taught how to do so. This is a massively misunderstood area, even in musical circles. In reality, only a very small percentage of people are truly "tone-deaf" - they have a condition called amusia, akin to colour-blindness but for music. Richard Swan, director of the large UK-based choir London City Voices, explains the reasons why people needlessly opt-out of singing from an early age, and shows you how to go about gaining control over your voice. With over 40 supporting videos on the accompanying website, this book is entirely unique and completely groundbreaking in its approach. Richard's gentle method will rewire your understanding of your own voice. You will listen to music in a different way, and you will start to appreciate how singing in tune in the near future is a very real possibility for you.
