Make a list of songs you cannot not sing!
Another way to say this is go through your CD’s, or song lists and write down the songs that when you hear them, you HAVE TO SING ALONG. Some Beatle songs come to mind, “Yesterday”, “Hey Jude”, you get the idea….
My song list is extensive and includes classical composers like Faure, folk singer/songwriters like my friend David Roth, and, of course, the amazing Steven Sondheim. Start with artists you love (James Taylor… oh yes..) and add to the list every day.
There is a folk melody that I use often with my voice students that heard when I was down in the Peru the first time.. I do a vocal meditation to it almost every day. It has gone through a metamorphosis since I first heard it, but I call it the “Inca Meditation” and I am recording it soon and will post.
