Age and singing

Have you always wanted to learn how to sing but have not started taking singing lessons because you felt that you'd left it too late?  You can never be too old to sing! Singing is fun at any age, young or old.

Even at the young age of 8 or 9, children can be taught to sing with huge success. Sure, singing training must be adjusted later on to avoid damaging their voices during the changes of puberty. This is something that a good vocal coach can assist with.

On the other end of the scale, adults can benefit from singing training throughout their life to a ripe old age and in fact many people actually sing better as they age. But even if this is not the case for you, don't be put off. It's perfectly natural to experience a large number of physical changes as we get older. It's clear that our muscles will lose both flexibility and strength. This being said, all to often we make "age" the excuse for not following our dreams.

Bear in mind that even young people can have voice or physical conditions. My point is this: granted there will be things that you will never be able to do as well as you might have when you were young, but you are never to old to experience new things and to have fun. It's never to late to develop new skills and do things that inspire us and make us feel good about ourselves. It's never too late to learn develop and learn new skills. The Per Bristow Voice Method is a liberating learn to sing approach that has no age or skill prerequisite.

Although many professional and semi-professionals use the Bristow Voice Method, there are just as many beginners who use the program. Since it is all about developing awareness and taking you from where you are to where you want to go, your level or age is really irrelevant. At the end of the day, old or young really is just a state of mind. Singing is one of life's great pleasures that really has no age limit, unless of course you judge yourself to some limiting ideal. You owe it to yourself to let your voice be heard.
