Good evening and welcome. In today’s programme
we'te going to talk about singing, In the studio we
have Martin, the director ofa singing school in
London, and Gemma, a student at Martin’s school.
Good morning to both of you.
Good morning,
First, Martin, can you tell us, why is ita good idea
for people to Jearn to sing?
First, because singing makes you feel good. And
secondly, because singing is very good for your
health.
Really? In what way?
Wall, when you learn to sing you need to learn to
breathe correctly. That's very important, And you
also learn to stand and sit correctly, Asa result,
people who sing are often fitter and healthier than
people who don't.
‘Are your courses only for professional singers?
No, not at all, They're for everybody. You don’t
need to have any experience of singing. And you
don't need to be able to read music.
So how do your students learn to sing?
‘They learn by listening and repeating. Singing well
is really 95% listening.
OK Gemma, Tell us about the course, How long
did it last?
Only one day, From ten in the morning to six in
the evening,
Could you already sing well befote you started?
No, not well. But I have always liked singing, But 1
can’t cead music and I never thought Isang very
well.
$0 what happened on the course?
Well, first we did a lot of listening and breathing
exercises, and we learnt some other interesting
techniques.
‘What sort of things?
Well, for example we learnt that itis easier to sing
high notes if you sing with a surprised look on
uur facel
‘Oh really? Could you show us?
Well, Pll try.
For those of you at home, I can promise you that
Gemma looked very surprised. Were yon happy
with your progress?
‘Absolutely. At the end of the day we were singing
in almost perfect harmony, It was amazing, In just
‘one day we really were much better,
Could you two give us a little demonstration?
Oh, OK
