Being overly timid and lacking any form of singing expertise, I reluctantly enrolled into Glee Singing; a breadth subject for those that are socially-adept and those that exude bravado; and unbeknownst to me, Glee Singing was none of those preconceived notions. My stigmatised assumptions were relinquished when I attended my first singing tutorial, which was also when I came to a revelation - singing was the antidote in relieving myself from a stagnant uninspired lifestyle as it provided me with an
While the term “bel canto” is a rather loose term, Celletti’s words seem to sum up what bel canto was generally about. The Italian term translated to “beautiful singing,” developed in the late seventeenth century, where it became a technique used to create a beautiful sound as opposed to the imitation of instruments by the voice.

Singing What I Already Know As I was growing up, I have developed a powerfully strong affection for music. While listening to many songs, I have realized that the many artists who their songs all have a nice - sounding voice, but not everyone has the talent to sing beautifully like them. When I joined a choir a few years back, I learned there are four main note ranges: bass, tenor, alto, and soprano.

1. What is meant by the statement “Singing is a learned behavior”? Most people are not naturally “born singers.” Many people believe that “singing is some type of gift” (Phillips, 222). I have heard this phrase many times in my life. My family would always ask me who I inherited my music talent from.
