Music, as we all know, is THE Universal language. It can soothe the savage! That said…
Singing can have a profound effect on how we feel. 
There are people who don’t have a beautiful, melodious voice. Actually, my daddy sounded terrible!
But he loved to sing, nevertheless. He’d confine himself to the shower, or the bedroom with the door closed.
But the breathing that’s involved, the thought process to get the words (almost) right, and just the thought of a melody in your head, will reduce your stress-level, and elevate your spirit.
Try it…
…Any song will do!
There’s a simple way to overcoming fear of singing in public, and using a microphone to amplify your Vocal Gift!
This is what happened to me…
Time: 1968
Place: New Orleans, LA
Sitting in the back row of the choir, one day, I began to daydream about being in front of the microphone, singing to a crowd.
I listened and enjoyed the soloist, as she led the choir in rehearsal, and looked forward to Sunday morning, when we’d all get to “show-off” our talents!
After rehearsal, I went home, went into my bedroom, closed the door, and stood in front of the mirror, holding my hair brush as though it were a microphone. Then I got an idea…
I chose my favorite album, put it on the Hi-Fi,
…and when the music began, I resumed my place in front of the mirror, holding my hair brush, and singing my heart out! No fear. No worries, or cares about how I sounded. Just free, carefree, joyous singing.
Before long, the bedroom door opened. Only, I didn’t hear it, nor did I hear anyone enter the room. Instead, I continued to sing, as my intruder took a quiet seat on the side of my bed.
When the song ended, I heard, “That was lovely.” 
I turned in surprise, and all I could manage to say was, “Mama!” I don’t know if I was embarrassed, or just annoyed.
But after hiding for so long, the very thing I wanted to share,
…here’s what I discovered.
…the power of belief works to attract into our reality, those things that we think about!
(Remember, I had been daydreaming about singing in front of others, without fear or hesitation!)
“What things so ever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Saint Mark 11:24
Do you Have a deep desire?
Try God. Believe. Pray….Be Grateful. Then…
Do this:
If you truly believe that you have already received the thing you desire, your actions will reflect it. (This rule, actually, refers to everything! That’s how the Law of Attraction works!)
Think it, Do it, & Have it!
{a little background}
As you may know, I'm an affiliate marketer. I work from home, promoting the products & services of others, and get paid a commission every month on the sales that I generate.
With the recent company changes in my affiliate marketing program, my blog, along with the ads on the blog, have to be changed. Not only that, but the content I have written, and saved for later posts, have to be re-written. The flyers that I made last year, that I send in the mail with my bills, have to be changed as well. What else? Let me think. Is that everything? 
Yep, this feels like a repeat…
But is it, really?
Sometimes, things looks similar on the surface, but when you take the time to take a closer look, they aren’t the same at all.
First of all, what looks like a problem is really an opportunity. The challenge that it brings also brings with it, Growth. So, it’s not really a problem at all. Turns out, it’s a gift!Now you can see how our perceptions make a huge difference in our feelings? And our feelings make a big difference in our actions!
Secondly, and most importantly, most of the time, if you’re working with a company that has a track record of success, you’ll discover that the changes are actually improvements on something that was already “good.” Now, with the changes, things are better, and end up being “much better” in the long run!
Yea, it’s a lot of work, but the rewards are great and far-reaching. The first time that I remember having to do things differently, I remember being excited about the new flyers, the new webpages, and the new blog material. I even incorporated new artwork into the mix!
This time, it’s going to be great! I’m so excited. I can’t wait to get started. Why?
Glad you asked.
Because “new” is often better…especially when it’s carefully researched & crafted, accompanied by self-motivation to improve, mixed with creative energy. This is an awesome mixture for success…always improving.
As long as you accept the challenge of change, you will grow and improve.
Things can only get better! 
Guitars have been around for ages. Such an instrument is one of the reasons why we’re able to recognize legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page who have stamped their names… The post 10 Most Expensive Guitars in History appeared first on The Blogging Musician.

You must have come across the terms EP, LP, Album or Singles on social networking websites so many times that you may actually think that they all are the same.
Yes, you are somewhat right. But, technically you are wrong. So, if you like to hear latest music songs, then know some of these differences first. Because, next time when you buy your favorite track, you’ll know better what you are paying for.
(Fig: Singles can also be more than one unreleased songs, put together in a disc)

Some people can hear a song, and naturally, without any effort, match the pitch they hear, and sing along with the song… in perfect pitch. But for many other people, this is not an easy thing to do.
This is referred to as being “tone-deaf.” Luckily, being tone-deaf is something that can be corrected! Anyone can learn how to sing on pitch, by perfecting only 2 important skills.
Before you sing, align your posture to allow the flow of air from your diaphram to your lungs, to the roof of your mouth.
Stand with your feet slightly apart, 
Concentrate on allowing the air to flow through the roof of your mouth, out through your nose.
This simple exercise will prepare you for what you will be doing as you sing a single note or a song!
NOW, before you start singing, you will need a digital tuner, a piano, or a guitar.
First Required Skill: PRACTICE.
Step 1: Select a musical note, (tone), that is comfortable for your voice range, & play it repeatedly.
Step 2: Next, try to match that musical note with your voice.
Repeat steps 1-2.
Final Required Skill: LEARN SELF-AWARENESS. At this point, listening to yourself is crucial for correctness. (Try recording yourself with a recorder or on your Smartphone or computer’s microphone. Play back what you have sung. Keep it short and simple.)
Step 3: Continue to match one musical note at a time.
Step 4: Match the notes in a major scale.
Now, all that is needed to do is….
Repeat Steps 1 – 4, over and over, and over…Practice more notes, and become more Self-Aware, (by listening to yourself, either with a recording device or in the shower!)
Practice makes perfect. Move slowly from musical scales to short songs.
Visualize the musical notes… 
Relax, breathe regularly,
…Enjoy yourself and have fun!
