Classical Music and Music Teacher

Just a quick blog to let you know that I've got several things being published this month.

Hornblower's Diary in the Classical Music magazine has already put in some of my soprano jokes, and is planning to publish some of the Opera Titles That Never Made It next week.

And the Music Teacher magazine is going to be including my article on dealing with nasality in young singers, provisionally titled Teacher Nose Best.

And talking of terrible jokes, I've had a great response to my latest set of emails - Good Cheer!

I put together a whole host of jokes and sayings on music, singing and the extraordinary (mis)use of the English language. They're going out every week under the title Good Cheer from Vocal Process, and are free to anyone receiving the Vocal Process eZINE.

If you would like to join the Cheer list, just pop across to the Vocal Process website and click on the magical appearing box on the homepage. You'll receive your copy of the free Vocal Process eZINE by return, and the first Cheer email will be following soon after.

As always with Vocal Process emails, you can unsubscribe at any time, so you won't be inundated with emails, and we don't pass your details on to anyone else.

So feel free to brighten your week with some Vocal Process Cheer

The Vocal Process eZINE

Following on from the Swedish newspaper article in the previous postings, here's a link to the Vocal Process eZINE we wrote for the occasion.


The Vocal Process eZINE is a free emailed "magazine" that we send out about once a month.


Each edition contains an update on us, our training courses, reviews and specially written articles and thoughts on music, performing and voice.


We also usually include an interview with industry experts - previous interviews have included Paul Meier, the dialect and accent coach, Kim Chandler, session singer extraordinaire, Craig Jennings, soloist with Cirque du Soleil, and Daniel Zangger Borch, pop and rock vocal trainer, author and coach on Pop Idol.


eZINE 35, the Sweden Special edition has an interview with performance psychologist and author of The Confident Performer, Dr David Roland on performance anxiety and the Flow performance.



It's also got an interesting photo taken by the photographer of the Svenska Dagbladet, one of Sweden's national newspapers. It wasn't posed, the photographer happened to catch me in mid sentence - I was demonstrating the emotional response of a character in a song (pity I can't remember which one...). I have to tell you it's one of my favourite photos, partly because I move around so much it's difficult to capture me in action on film!


If you would like to join our mailing list to receive the eZINE, just click on this link to the Vocal Process homepage, and click on the magical materialising box.

You're very welcome.
