'Tis the Season to be jolly! So no sore throats wanted here!Spread joy though song this year with Sing Star MKs top tips to beating the chill and keeping those festive voices singing "Simply having a wonderful Christmas Time"!Atmosphere - Try to stay in a well ventilated room away from draughts and sudden temperature changes. A dry atmosphere is not good for the throat. Keep away from smoky rooms and absolutely NO SMOKING! Warmth - Make sure you keep yourselves warm. If going into the cold wear a scarf around your neck. I know only too well how performing on stage warm and sweating and then going into a cold tour bus or room so I always make sure I have scarves with me at this time of year. Fluids - Keep up your fluid intake this time of year, it re-hydrates your whole body! Try to stay away from ice cold drinks and fizzy drinks. Room temperature water is best. Your vocal chords all nicely warmed up and then being blasted by ice water is the same as going for a jog and then jumping into a cold lake. Your expanded muscles will not be happy with this and you will get problems. Steaming - We recommend a 10 minute steam twice a day when you are using your voice alot. Christmas is an exceptionally busy time for performers and therefore a steamer is a great option to sooth a tired voice. Steam inhalation helps move phlegm that sticks to your vocal cords. So great for winter chills. Diet - Try to eat foods that have a high water content, Fresh fruit and vegetables must be on your shopping lists in the winter when sore voices are around. Try to avoid dairy foods - sorry no chocolate or cheese! They induce the phlegm we are trying to remove. Throat Lozenges - These should only be used when your voice is out of use. When you are not singing! Throat Lozenges soothe and anaesthetise. If you sing while the anaesthetic is still in effect you will push your voice and make it worse. It merely masks the pain but in the long run makes the pain worse. Steer away from using these. If you do need them we recommend Vocalzones. Remedy Drink - A good drink to have if your voice is sore is a mixture of 1 tsp of honey, 1 tsp of lemon and a couple of slices of frsh ginger mixed together in hot water. Ginger is good for sore throats as it is an anti-inflammatory. Lemon cuts through phlegm and honey is soothing so each of these ingredients stand alone or together in hotwater is a great remedy drink. Warm up - When you feel like your voice has sufficiently rested try some gentle warm up before you start singing again. Do not push your voice or go to the outer perimeters of your range straight away. Be patient with your voice after a cold or sore throat, it will take time to regain your usual vocal stamina.
What ever you do to remedy your sore throats and voices through the winter months always remember that a GOOD TECHNIQUE
is the best preventative medicine you can apply. If you would like to
learn more about vocal techniques and to develop your voice please
contact Sing Stars MK. We provide singing lessons for children in Milton
Keynes aged from 5-16. We also run a Childrens Singing Club where
children can learn to sing with good techniques while meeting friends,
boosting their confidence and exploring their love of singing and
performing!

Childrens Singing Lessons Milton Keynes
Hi im Kaley and I provide Private Singing
Lessons for children between 5 and 16.
More information on myself and my project
Sing Stars is available on the website www.kaleyentertainments.wix.com/singstars
All children love to sing and perform and I
love to be able to encourage their passion for singing and performing while
teaching them new vocal skills and developing their voices. I love how singing
and performing can boost a childs confidence and self esteem both on and off
the stage, while having fun and doing what they love!
Having studied for a BA honors degree in
performance and having many years experience of singing myself for weddings,
corporate clients , I now run a
successful Entertainment Business that supplies singers and entertainment to
venues across the country.
With my weekdays I like devoting my time to
my Sing Stars Project and teaching children to sing!!
I am happy to teach children of all ages
and abilities, my lessons will be adapted to suit the individual, dependent
upon their age, talent and range. My lessons also depend upon the results and
topics that are of interest to you and your child. For example classes can be
based around performance confidence or vocal techniques.
My classes are fun and lighthearted while
focusing on developing the voice. I offer support to childrens worries and
weaknesses and I am patient and friendly while helping to develop the childs
singing talent. My lessons are aimed to nurture and develop the talents your
child has, while adding energy and enthusiasm for their singing and performing.
I use creative and fun activities to cover
topics which can include: Range Building, Vocal Registers, Confidence Building,
Stage Presence, Diction, Tone Quality, Performing Technique, Song
Interpretation, Breathing Technique, Harmonising and Backing vocals.
I use modern digital backing tracks so no
boring registers played along to an organ! I can use songs that are chosen by
your child or I will happily recommend suitable songs they will love to sing.
