Singing Lessons For No One – Details, episodes & analysis

Fan Mail Portal

Hey, 
I ran into a friend in the shops and he asked if I teach five year olds... and Its been on my mind ever since... Like... Maybe, what would I say to my five year old self?
I grew up singing with my family. After dinner dad would play guitar, we sang all these funny old songs that I don't even know if anyone else knew. 
The other kids listened to Michael Jackson and Prince, 
I was singing Bernard Bolan, and The Clancy Brothers and John Williamson... 
A random array of nutty Dad songs. 
That entirely shaped my 'let's sing' attitude. 
So, 
this ones a warm up that is loosey goosey and silly fun, 
and then a singing thing thats from an African inspired Choir Harmony, Bob Marley, Anjelique Kidjo stunning song. 
Sing along. 
You don't have to get in an actual car. 
Make on out of Cardboard. 
It can be imaginary. 
You dont have to actually be five years old. 
You can just pretend that bit too. 

Lotsa love, 

Shelly

Hi there,
This is a project that has been on the burners for about two years, and now I've made it to this point - I'm holidng my breath - Is this a thing? Does this work?
For about two decades I have attended so many songwriting workshops. I love word games, heart games, writing, creative writing, all the things.
And for the last two years, I have been teaching songwriting workshops in Byron Bay (NSW Australia), whilst also making the Singing Lessons for No One Podcast (sporadically...)
I wanted to make the Workshops in to SOMETHING... An online course? There's so many... Ideas are endless.. But really. My podcast is nearing 100k streams. I feel like that might mean people, like, actually,  like it? I dunno.
Anyway.
Does Songwriting exercises on a podcast work?
Would a classroom listen to this?
Is this useful to you?
If even, say, a person, one single person said yes, then, there's more where this came from.
So, if you can, lemme know ok?

This Podcast Episode holds:
Vocal Warm Up - Major Scale,
Songwriting Exercise: Introduction
Singing Exercise - Major and Minor Chords
Songwriting Exercise - Vegetable
Songwriting Exercise - Alphabet Garden
Singing Exercise - Mood Indigo

I just baked Banana Bread. Our freezer was full of banana's. It was getting weird.
So here's a warm up exercise using a Major Chord and a Minor Chord
1 2 3 5 3 2 1 in Gb Major,
over to
1 2 b3 5 b3 2 1 in Ab minor.
In a 3/4 time,

"What is that thing I can smell
Is it some thing I don’t like?
What is that Banana smell?
Is it banana bread?"

It'll make sense. Good Good.

Then, there's a blank song for you to write a song to.
A writing exercise!! Whaaat?! Yes!!

Awesome!

Hiya, 
Today I wanted to have a chat about all the things that get in the way of you singing. Push 'em over! Get them outta here! Let your voice fly free!
Then we'll have a big long note, breathe deep sing for Sparrows!
I was a little bit hypo about the bass. Fun as fun can be. 
Exploring harmonies, open your mouth, let it out. 

Thanks for singing with me!

Hey Look at me cooking with Gas! I know right!
Hey, in this episode we explore the Major Pentatonic Scale - 1 2 3 5 6
it starts a little jazzy, grooves past country and rounds the corner in soul music as it usually does round here...

Then we delve into a world of Vocal Registers. 
From your chest voice- where you might normally speak, up through to your head voice. And the grand canyon between. Dont be afraid, we sing it pretty fun!

Thanks for listening!

I'm playing the chords E and A! Easy! 
Lets jam!

Hi there, this Episode features the song by the delightful Vince Jones called 'Jettison' from his 2004 Live Album. 
I lead you through diving down from your G Major Scale to the D Mixolydian Scale and then we learn the Trumpet line from there. 
I do take it up a few semitones at the end so you can feel it in different keys. 
D is pretty Low on this horn line for me, but It's my intention to do things in a variety of Keys - for you, and You, and You!

Episodes are released EARLY to my amazing Patreon supporters, so please do head on over and jump onboard if you feel like thats your thang!

Hello 2021, you crazy chicken.
I've missed making my podcast so very much and I aim to jump back on the bandwagon as much as I can this year. 
If you love it half as much as I do, please jump on my Patreon at 
https://www.patreon.com/Shelly_Brown

In this Episode we explore Modes.
A way of singing new scales and exploring music theory.
You'll hear me stretch my range a little bit - I go pretty high for me. 
I give it a whirl in two keys, so see how you go or drop me a line if you struggled and I'll find a key thats better for you.
