How to Sing and Play Another Instrument
I know you love to sing.
Do you also play an instrument? Well, you should! And don't worry about the trouble of singing and playing instrument at the same time.
This is all about coordinating Your Singing with Playing Another Instrument Those who have been singing for a while may also know how to play an instrument like a guitar or a piano.
I know you can notice how they make it look easy.
It is actually easy, but just like anything else, requires a lot of practice and can be initially difficult for a beginner.
Here are some tips that you can take into practice if you want to play an instrument while singing.
Know Your Lyrics By Heart The first thing that you must be aware of, and probably the most important thing is to memorize your lyrics and know it by heart! It will be nearly impossible to play a guitar and sing at the same time if you don't know the words.
If you know the lyrics, you can concentrate on your playing.
Initially Pick Easy Songs Do not be harsh to yourself.
Pick an easy song to sing with a simple melody that you can play along an instrument with.
Remember that you are trying to combine three skills at the same time: Singing, playing an instrument, and singing while playing an instrument.
What are those easy songs, you might ask? Start with songs that have easy lyrics, chords, and beats.
We choose these because they are easier to memorize Songs that are easy to sing and play separately will be less challenging to sing and play together.
Build Up Speed Once Comfortable Start slow and build up speed as soon as you feel comfortable with the song.
Try going at half speed until you get the feel for singing while playing.
Then increase to two-thirds speed.
It's either you'll be surprised or you wont even know it but after a while, you'll be able to play the song at full speed.
A great tip too is that you can use a mixing software to slow down the song so you can learn it.
Then try playing the song on your own, and record yourself so that you can listen to the playback.
Keep on Practicing - Practice Makes Perfect Practice makes perfect so there's no excuse not to do it.
Repetition is the only way to learn to play an instrument and it also applies in singing and playing an instrument.
Practice singing and playing the song whenever you have spare time.
If you've got a busy schedule, set other hobbies aside so that you can practice your singing and playing.
It takes a lot of work, but the end results will be very impressive!
