Born on stage?
continued from last week
So...it made us wonder. Does good pitch and singing get harder as we get older?
It would seem that as children we have not yet learned to judge ourselves with a harsh critical eye. We are free to express ourselves because we are not afraid to make mistakes. When we are young we know that we have many more opportunities ahead of us in life so perhaps it takes the pressure off this one? We perform without inhibition because we are happy to express ourselves as we are now, before we begin learning that the world makes comparisons... or more importantly we do. And it would seem that when we let go.... trust our ear, trust ourselves or perhaps more accurately, not try too hard (as we adults tend to)....our pitch is almost always spot on!
As we get older we must remind ourselves that what we have to offer is still unique. It might be fear that tells us we should just keep a lid on what we hope is within us or life experience that has taught us that it is more productive to stay on the well-paved road. Then there is also the point that people are a whole pile more forgiving of the mistakes children make and by the time we are adults we really should know better?
But let's put all this aside because perhaps when it comes to singing it would seem that it might just pay to tap into your inner child, go with your spontaneity and trust your instinct because holding back is just so easy for a whole pile of boring adult reasons.
And the moral of the story is...perhaps if you go with your inner child it could actually help you sing more in tune. It might even help you perform like you were born on stage!

Ti lascio una canzone
Occasionally we watch the RAI Italia channel on pay TV. We signed up for pay TV convincing ourselves that we would watch Italian television all the time in order to keep up our Italian language skills and watch some of our favourite programs. Unfortunately we were to discover that the Aussie Italian channel only showed the absolute worst shows on Italian telly with almost nothing worth watching...except one program, Ti lascio una canzone.
Ti Lascio Una Canzone is basically a children's singing competition, not dissimilar to X Factor but with the kids ranging in age from about 8 to 13. Most of them seem absolutely teeny weeny and it is amazing to see them up on stage, fully confident, strutting their stuff and belting out classic Italian ballads with almost perfect intonation.
Their pitch was so good and seemed so natural that it began to make Jamie and I wonder if singing in tune is something that actually gets harder as we get older. Anyone who watches our Australian version of X Factor or Idol will be well aware that a lot of the singers struggle to stay consistently in tune. Yet, these kiddie winks on the Italian program sang really well in tune for their entire performance, were at ease with themselves on stage performing honestly and spontaneously.
Perhaps we just get more self conscious as we get older which prevents us from being truly in the moment. Maybe the sound engineer was really good on this program!
So...it made us wonder. Does good pitch and singing get harder as we get older?
Take a look!

Salamanca Studio
Hmmm...well there's nothing worse than a blogger who doesn't blog. Yes I am guilty!!
5 months can really fly by when you are busy setting up a new studio and having a baby!
Gorgeous Coco Siena Scott was born on 10/10/2010. Yes I had a word with the man upstairs who co-ordinated that date for me...usually you have to pay extra!
So...the NEW Revolve Arts Voice Studio at Salamanca is up and running! We have a great space in the Salamanca Arts Centre and I know that students will be inspired by the proximity to all the other artsy hobart types. I know I am!
We are doing a bit of baby juggling at the moment but teaching classes most days in at the studio.
Sometimes Coco sits and watches wide-eyed as students demonstrate their musical prowess.....gotta start learning young these days if you want to get ahead in the music industry. Although 2 months could be overdoing it!
So anyway....after a bit of time off(to hang with our baby girl) Jamie and I are back!
Call in and see us.
Over and out.
p.s Promise to write more often!

Festival of Broadway
Well who would have thought that such exciting stuff would happen in Hobart!
Am I allowed to say that?
Have just spent the long weekend at a series of workshops for Musical Theatre Writing conducted by Stephen Schwartz. Yes THE Stephen Schwartz who wrote the hit musicals Godspell, Pippin & Wicked.
Not forgetting his film scores for Disney like Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Prince of Egypt, Enchanted....the list goes on.
A number of musical theatre composers were selected from around Australia to present their work and receive feedback. The workshops were open to the public although it seemed that I was the only member of the public that took them up on their offer. Liz Callaway also presented a workshop on Musical Theatre Performance.
It was an incredible couple of days, receiving great pearls of wisdom from Stephen Schwartz and a panel of other international guests with seriously impressive resumes. I was so inspired by their openness, modesty and genuine interest in encouraging and supporting the development of the writers and composers.
For anyone interested in Musical Theatre I would highly recommend making the trip down to Tas for the next series of workshops in 2011. I really do think that only in Hobart could you attend something like this free of charge.
There is a concert in Sydney on June 20th at Angel place 'An Evening with Stephen Schwartz'. The tickets aren't free and a bit more expensive in Sydney than Hobart(surprise, surprise) but well worth a night out. Liz Callaway and a young singer Adrian Li Donni are definitely worth seeing.
Anyway, here is a link to the website for all the info about Festival of Broadway
And congratulations to Kevin Purcell, head of the Con at University of Tas for instigating it all!
Over and out.
