Product Review - Singorama

By Melodee Formosa

One of the many constants in our world is music. And it is one tricky matter as well. For the last fifty years, the music industry has been idealized and many artists are glorified... making each and every viewer want to be one of them or at at least be part of the industry.

Music can make you popular, it can even make you rich... but there is more to music than fame and money-making vehicle image that the media has painted to it. Music can bring you fulfillment, to be able to get your message across through your music is fulfilling. You can also be an inspiration and a light to others who need them most. Music helps brain development, it also hones social and emotional skills.

Due to lack of funding, music classes are being taken out of school curriculum across America. But to those who really are passionate to learn and make music, self-study is the next resort. Good thing is that you can get lessons from great vocal teachers. Best thing is that you can actually learn how to sing from home with singing book guides and software.

One of the best singing guides that you can find out there is "Singorama." It claims to be able to help you learn how to sing like a professional singer. Singorama has a two-part program. A beginner's book and advanced book. It also comes with a "Singorama Mini Recording Studio" that trains the users musical ears, as well as helps the users with the exercises. You also get to receive a bonus access to an e-book called "The Ultimate Guide To Reading Music."

The beginner's book talks about the history of music and the definition of singing. It also talks about how a sound is being produced and how your body parts affect the quality of your voice. The beginner's book is basically about art of music and the science of singing. Emily Mander, the writer of the book, put stress on the importance of learning the art and science in learning how to sing. The approach can benefit all those who takes singing seriously and want a clear and better understanding about the voice mechanism.

The fundamentals of music, discovering your singing voice, identifying your vocal range, the difference between tone and pitch, the concepts and jargon of music are the things you can learn from Singorama. These things are in fact the building blocks of your future singing prowess.

Second good point of this program, the lessons are followed up by exercises with audio tools. The book not only approach the study through theory but through practice as well. For a better understanding of what was discussed in one chapter, you are given the chance to listen to an example. Say, the book just explained how to try the lip roll exercise. There would be a clear step-by-step instruction on how to form your lips and the like. Then, an audio example is given for you to determine if what you are doing is whether right or wrong.

Not only that, Singorama also provides the user a Virtual Piano, to figure out notes and hone singing techniques, and a Mini Recording Studio to review all the efforts.

The third good point of the "Singorama!" is its teaching style. The manner it was written makes the commitment to music so much more bearable. You would actually think that you are under the wing of a great voice teacher, who is knowledgeable and effective. The language used in the books series is easy to understand. Although there were some musical jargon, they were all been explained and discussed methodically and reviewed at the end of every chapter. Some questions you will probably raise if it were a live class have been anticipated and answered in the entire series.

There's only one drawback though. Singorama is too detailed that you might find the other topics unnecessary and boring. Learning how to sing with Singorama actually requires commitment and diligence. So if you're seeing music as a career, the Singorama product is for you. It is made to give you deep analysis of singing and your singing voice.

Overall, "Singorama!" is a good deal. In spite of it being heavy on the theory and technical aspect of singing, the meticulousness gives you your money's worth. Emily Mander has included a myriad of advices to help you find your own voice, your own style, and your own will to succeed. Like what she said in her introductory piece, "this book is ultimately about your voice, your singing, and your musical future! - 29943
