Can someone learn how to sing?

Hi everyone, I am new here. I have to admit I am a terrible singer, but I have I always wished I could. What is your opinion on taking voice lessons, could really help someone with no skill at all. Thanks.

Why couldn't you learn how to sing? Start singing along to your favorite singers right now, that's a start. What kind of vocalists inspire you? I'm curious.

This topic comes up a LOT and yet it is still asked so often it kills me

a bit each time:facepalm:

-Your willingness

-determination

-drive/motivation

-adaptation

will determine how you learn to sing, and if you learn to sing (well).

I realised early (around 5-6) I sang like crap. So...while it took me a while...

eventually I learned and have been perfecting my vocals every since.

Lessons are ideal unless you're monetarily deficient from doing so...

It helps to learn to identify notes, melodies and pitch...and

perfect them. Your tone is your tone, but that too can change.

...and also the level of your innate ability to recognize pitch.

I don't think just anyone can sing, but singing is an instrument, the more you sing the better you will get. You can go from ok to amazing with practice, like anything.

Probably. You might search You Tube for singing lessons. Maybe after singing warm up exercises and scales you might notice singing voice improvement.

I am reminded of Jack Nicholson accepting an Academy award, saying "I'd like to dedicate this to my first manager who told me I have no business being an actor."

everyone that has the ability to produce sounds with their voice can learn to sing. Just like anyone with working legs can walk.

Let's say you have a child and he struggles with learning to walk, or talk or ride a bicycle. How long would you say it ws OK to try until you gave it up? I have never heard of any that quit trying.

But as we grow up, we find different reasons for things we are not able to learn, and withborn capacities are a very convinient, cause then we are able to blame our creator and keep on being lazy!

Act as a child and just DO IT!

Innate: meaning "born with" - completely incorrect.

Recognising pitch is so fundamentally simple.

I know this because well...since my years as a 3 year old I could

mimic sounds. As in incorrectly identifying pitch.

It was only later on in life did I teach myself what pitch was and is.

AND, how to correctly exemplify perfect pitch.

Patterns are a way to identify things, in life.

I think we all recognise patterns in some way.

It's a shame your mentality has you thinking you must be "born with it"

in order to be. I wasn't born with {censored}e, and I do exceedingly well in identifying pitch, chords, melodies.

I can't play guitar because:

a.) I'm not born with it

b.) I'm lazy

c.) I haven't pushed myself

...I wasn't born with anything but I pushed myself bordering on OCD

in my mind, in my sleep and spent every spare moment learning to play piano.

I can't play guitar as well because I haven't pushed myself but IF I did I bet I could.

...I am a badass piano player and have become so without any training whatsoever. At one point I could barely play, then went from that to building and constructing chords, to learning to play with both hands, to improvisation, to where I am now....I have pushed myself to learn notation, but that is (as it is currently) to the extent of my abilities because I became complacent....I need to learn to play by notes, not just by ear. I've trained my ear...it wasn't innate nor was it ever.

As I was tone deaf, so have people I have successfully trained to play.

To me, the piano is much easier to learn.

One hand is required to hit a note, not two like the guitar.

Anyone can be taught to play the piano.

They are at a disadvantage if they cannot (yet) know pitch, but everyone I've encountered that wanted to...learned.

How did I learn piano?

Easy as pie.

I sure as hell hope so, or I am wasting a helluva lotta time!
