Have you always wanted to learn how to sing but have not started taking singing lessons because you felt that you’d left it too late? I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to start singing and there is no such thing as an ideal singing age!
Children at the age of 8 or 9 years (and even younger) can be taught the basics of good singing. Sure, singing training must be adjusted later on to avoid damaging their voices during the changes of puberty. This is something that a good vocal coach can assist with.
But even if you didn’t start singing at a young age, don’t let that discourage you from starting now. It’s really never too late and some people have even claim that their voice has improved with age. But even if this is not the case for you, don’t be put off. There is no getting around the many physical changes that we experience as we age. It’s clear that our muscles will lose both flexibility and strength. This being said, all to often we make “age” the excuse for not following our dreams.
Bear in mind that even young people can have voice or physical conditions. My point is this: granted there will be things that you will never be able to do as well as you might have when you were young, but you are never to old to experience new things and to have fun. It is never too late to do activities that inspire us and make us energetic and vibrant. It’s never too late to learn develop and learn new skills. The Per Bristow Method is a singing training technique that can be learned, mastered and enjoyed by singers of all ages.
Sure there are plenty of great singers using programs like Per Bristow’s but the majority are regular folks just like you and me. It’s all about taking you from where you are now to where you want to go and developing awareness. So your age is irrelevant. {At the end of the day, old or young really is just a state of mind.} Singing is one of life’s great pleasures that really has no age limit, unless of course you judge yourself to some limiting ideal. You owe it to yourself to let your voice be heard.
