The Most Important Instrument in Music, The Human Voice

By: Victor Epand

There are literally hundreds of different instrument music that a person can learn to master, but too often than not, many forget about the most important musical instrument of them all; their voice. The human voice is essentially our species' earliest known musical instrument, and it is capable of an incredible array of harmonies and melodies. Sadly, for whatever reason, many think it is more important to practice playing the guitar than it is to learn how to sing.

Your voice is your key to music superstardom. It will allow you learn a lot about music and how melodies and rhythms come together to form some of the most beloved music our species has ever created. Your voice can reach amazing heights and amazing lows, and all it takes is you practicing how to use it properly. We all have the ability to sing in us, but some are going to be more skilled at it than others. It is true that some people are tone deaf and simply cannot understand how music works. That is not to say they can't sing. Everyone can sing, but some can do it better than others.

Our voice is how we express ourselves, even when we think no one is around. How many times have you sung in the shower or in the car to express how you feel at that moment? Ever sang along with a favorite song? Sure you have, everyone has, and that is because singing is the best way we can show what is going on in our minds and souls. We may sing and be horrible at it, but with the song we sing we are telling the world what is going on with us, what we care about and what bothers us.

If you want to have a better voice, all it takes is going to a vocal coach. They will teach you to sing in ways you never thought possible. You will suddenly discover a vast array of vocal ranges you never though existed and you will be elated at the prospect of being able to sing in front of people without having to worry that you will be laughed at or ridiculed. All it takes is you making the step to learn how to sing from a trained vocal coach. Don't worry about being horrible, they have heard some bad singers and you are unlikely to be the worst.

When you take the steps to learn how to sing. You are beginning on a journey that will allow you to express yourself in a variety of ways that go far beyond how our primitive language can describe the emotions. Singing is the oldest instrument we have and it is the only instrument we carry with us at all times. You may suck and never hit the high notes of Whitney Houston, but that does not mean you can't enjoy yourself singing along to her songs. When you are alone in the shower, you sing to your hearts content because you are in your own world and you feel happy. That is the beauty of your vocals. They can bring out your heart and make you smile.

Internet, Jeff Buckley music, websites, epiphanies, followin

Internet, Jeff Buckley music, websites, epiphanies, following your dreamseverythings connected in the Universe.

This may come across as a strange article contextually as I am a writer for a web hosting company who likes for me to spread the word about how cool the Internet is, so average people, if they ever get to read this stuff, may be inspired to partake in this new aspect of our collective, privileged, contemporary society. I have been an avid music listener and player for many years of my life and I want to give you the simple story of how the Internet has now connected once again with my lifes journey. I have a deep-seated dream of one day producing some music while I'm here in the world, but as in many cases, we humans have fears in relation to the ideas and feelings that mean the most to us. Recently I first heard music from a guy called Jeff Buckley.

This Jeff Buckley fellow can really play, I mean he could really play. His music spoke to me instantly; he plays guitar and sings in a way that touches and even haunts the soul. For a person like myself who hopes to one day become a real musician and not just a hobbyist, this guy is a true inspiration. Buckley died at the age of 31 years. So how did I find out about the guy? The Internet. I even read the lyrics off a website to the song I was listening to at that very moment. Looking at photos, reading his biography; the experience of hearing the music at the same time as seeing and learning about Buckley added a whole new dimension to the experience. The Internet let me feel the music in a new way, and resulted in a moment of epiphany-and dont these moments mean so much to us?

So what am I alluding to? What am I getting at here? The idea I think I'm trying to articulate is that the Internet can add dimensions to our experiences. Of course there is nothing wrong with listening to music on its own, simplicity is one of the most beautiful ways to live life. But for me in this particular instance, adding visuals, lyrics, and information about the musician seemed to make the feelings I received via the music grow and swell in the moment. The experience became multidimensional, both a reflection and a new vision simultaneously felt.

The result for me was like a big kick in the ass. If you want to make music, stop procrastinating. This guy Jeff Buckley gave it his best, made beautiful music and then died. He didnt get to hang around very long, and the same thing can happen to any of us. If I dont follow my dream now, in the present, I might just leave this place before I use the opportunities that have been given to me.

All I'm trying to say here is that the Internet is becoming a tool that we can use in our daily lives that can add richness and texture to our lives. Like all internal and external stimulus in our world, it too just might be the medium that ignites the light bulb idea that changes the rest of your life.
