Welcome to Dwayne's Singing Page!
4 Sept 2005 Welcome! My little website was one of the first websites on singing on the internet, and to this day it remains highly ranked on services such as google. Over the first five years, I've received over 100,000 hits and I'm really proud of this site. However, it is time to move on. The site will remain up, but I will no longer answer any questions and I may not be availble to fix whatever broken links might creep in from time to time. I'd like to thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy what you find here. Please read on.
The art of singing is made up of simple concepts. Each of these concepts takes some time to understand, implement and master. Furthermore, each singer brings with him a different set of abilities and attitudes, which when added to his training, independent research, personal style, and preference of music, affect his performance as well as the enjoyment of his audience.
In the years I have spent learning about music, I been fortunate to be around different styles of music, different ways of singing, and different ideas about how sound should be produced. Sometimes information learned through one teacher contradicted information learned through other teachers and through my own reading, so I was left with the same problem as all those who have multiple sources of information are: Reconciling conflicting views.
I refuse to present myself to you as an expert on voice, singing and the music business, partly because I do not feel I am an expert yet (I would have to go to medical school and become an ENT among other things), partly because there are far too many "experts" on the Internet, partly because you may be able to claim a better musical education than me. Instead, I greet you as a student, and I present you with what I feel is the best information I can dig out from all of my years and all of my study. Yes, some of it may disagree with what you may have heard, but there would be no point in putting information up if all of it was the same.
Take what you need and ignore the rest. Feel free to make comments on any part of the page, especially what I can do to improve it. Because I no longer work on the page, questions are better asked in my email group Tessitura. I've been fortunate enough to recruit some good people to help out those who would like some help, and I hope your experience here and there will prove to be a pleasant one.
