Romance and the Benefits of Singing

One of the great benefits of singing that is not written or talked about very often is how the study of singing can bring more pleasure and richness to our romantic lives.

With regards to romance and the benefits of singing, there are several issues to consider.

Here are two:

1. As you progress in your studies of singing,you will learn how to express more shades of emotion. This is just a natural outcome of the work.

As you study the lyrics of your songs, you will be looking for ways to express the mood and feelings that the songwriter had in mind. You will learn to search inside yourself to discover feelings and emotions that will make the song come alive. Over time, this process will help you to develop your own emotional language. And with time and experience, your inner emotional world will grow.

Like the many branches that grow on a tall tree, you too will begin to "branch out" in terms of emotional development. In time, you will be able to sing songs that have more complex emotional states. And this kind of personal understanding can only help you in your romantic life. You will be able to connect more deeply to your own feelings and express them better to your lover - because you have learned about those feelings in your singing training!

When singing students find it a challenge to express a particular emotion in a song, I ask them to think about a recent situation when they felt that emotion in their real lives.

"Remember how it felt!" I suggest. "Relive the feelings that flowed through you." In taking the time and energy to do this kind of inner search, singers gradually learn how to bring those real life feelings into their songs. Their performances become more believable.

Men who find it difficult to speak romantic words to your loved one - this is especially helpful for you! Women (and men, too, of course) need to hear words of tenderness spoken to them by their closest companion. We form deeper bonds with one another in this way.

2. Singers have special romantic appeal. Isn't that true?

When you tell someone that you are a singer or that you are learning to sing, you are immediately perceived as being artistic and that has, for many people, great romantic appeal. But it is not just a matter of perception... We singers really do learn how to express deep feelings more easily.

For you men- it becomes easier to relate to women's feelings, because you have had to explore your own deeper feelings in making a song come to life.

For we women - I believe that we can also become better lovers because we experience feelings that we may not have known, had we not sung those songs that took us into very new emotional states.

The benefits of singing are many. But this particular benefit is one that can have far reaching effects allowing us to get closer to the ones we love.

I wish you great singing and a wonderful, always-deepening romantic life!
