Aloha, Patrons!

One of my goals for this year was to share more of my vocal teaching and rebuild my own voice after a bout of laryngitis last year.  I've been playing around with how to incorporate vocal exercises on the uke for my uke-playing students who don't have a piano.  I'm happy to share my first video of vocal exercises that you can do on the uke.  And guess what?  You also practice get a little bit of scale practice. :)

Please take a moment to click through to YouTube, give it a thumbs up, leave a comment, and share. Thank you!  Every like and comment helps to spread the word about my channel.  And I'd love to hear your feedback on this kind of video and exercise, since it's new territory for my channel.  Do you have any questions about the exercise?  Do these kinds of exercises work for you?  

More vocal lessons: my new voice channel + "Intro to Singing" Workshop

I've launched a new voice channel called mindbodyvoice - please subscribe and check out the 100 Days of Vocal Exploration project.  You can follow the project to begin exploring your own voice using beginner-friendly breathing and vocal exercises.

Cynthia, great video, enjoyed the singing lesson. I also really enjoyed the scale exercise. Scale exercises would be great as well. Thanks for lesson!

Mona Goetsch

I really enjoyed the scale lesson. I will try to teach this to my students next year!

Maggie

Looking forward to this! I saw that your doing a 100 day vocal project? Did I see that correctly? Can you share more about that (or have I maybe missed it from somewhere else?)

Cecile

Thanks for this new and original lesson about the singing, I think it will be very useful for my voice.

Paula Brothers

my voice definitely needs work! thanknyou!

Cynthia, I am enjoying and benefiting from these exercises. I used to sing a lot, but a bout of laryngitis a couple of years ago left me unable to hit a couple of mid-range notes. Just -- gone! So frustrating. Your exercises seem to be helping to bring them back -- it still takes a lot of focus, but they are coming back. So thank you!

Rohit Nambiar

Thank you this is great! Is there a way you could also do some videos on Ukulele basics (like what’s a low G string?) and maybe just some basic music fundamentals like what are minor and major chords and those kinds of things? I feel like I can play songs on the Uke thanks to you, but I don’t know too much about music as such.

Jenny Selig

Good idea, but I know CL has a lot on her plate. She has done some theory lessons at the Intermediate level, but probably not as basic as you're looking for. While you're waiting, lots of people have videos on those things on YT. Here's one on Low/High G, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HA38Lpz1_4 Matt Dahlberg and Christopher Davis-Shannon have some good videos on theory.

Mandy

I found the video on YouTube but only see 18 days of lessons. Love them but do the videos for the rest of the 100 days continue?

Jenny Selig

Hi, Mandy. Day 18 is the most recent one, about a month ago. Day 1 was in 2020, so they're not being posted on 100 consecutive days. I assume Cynthia is recording these as she has time and the rest will come over time.
