Hey,
I ran into a friend in the shops and he asked if I teach five year olds... and Its been on my mind ever since... Like... Maybe, what would I say to my five year old self?
I grew up singing with my family. After dinner dad would play guitar, we sang all these funny old songs that I don't even know if anyone else knew.
The other kids listened to Michael Jackson and Prince,
I was singing Bernard Bolan, and The Clancy Brothers and John Williamson...
A random array of nutty Dad songs.
That entirely shaped my 'let's sing' attitude.
So,
this ones a warm up that is loosey goosey and silly fun,
and then a singing thing thats from an African inspired Choir Harmony, Bob Marley, Anjelique Kidjo stunning song.
Sing along.
You don't have to get in an actual car.
Make on out of Cardboard.
It can be imaginary.
You dont have to actually be five years old.
You can just pretend that bit too.
Lotsa love,
Shelly

Hi there,
This is a project that has been on the burners for about two years, and now I've made it to this point - I'm holidng my breath - Is this a thing? Does this work?
For about two decades I have attended so many songwriting workshops. I love word games, heart games, writing, creative writing, all the things.
And for the last two years, I have been teaching songwriting workshops in Byron Bay (NSW Australia), whilst also making the Singing Lessons for No One Podcast (sporadically...)
I wanted to make the Workshops in to SOMETHING... An online course? There's so many... Ideas are endless.. But really. My podcast is nearing 100k streams. I feel like that might mean people, like, actually, like it? I dunno.
Anyway.
Does Songwriting exercises on a podcast work?
Would a classroom listen to this?
Is this useful to you?
If even, say, a person, one single person said yes, then, there's more where this came from.
So, if you can, lemme know ok?
This Podcast Episode holds:
Vocal Warm Up - Major Scale,
Songwriting Exercise: Introduction
Singing Exercise - Major and Minor Chords
Songwriting Exercise - Vegetable
Songwriting Exercise - Alphabet Garden
Singing Exercise - Mood Indigo

Heya, How's it going?!
We dive straight into a warm up in the Key of F
Major scale and some harmony games.
Breath work! Vibrato! Open your mouth and let your sound out!
Then we think about near and far, projecting- what do you differently when you speak to close by, compared to out the window and far away.

When I first made this Podcast it was my original idea to also release the episodes without my ranting in it. So you could use just the vocal exercises to recap, or drive to your gig warming up, or, whatever they might be useful for to you.
Turns out, I didn't follow through with that idea...
So, This is me,
following through with that idea...
I will release this first one to the public as an example for what I'm trying to create, but these will only be available to patrons via my Patreon page at: https://www.patreon.com/Shelly_Brown
Sorry this is such a tease episode! You'll be sitting there all hungry for some fresh goodies and it's right back to number one! awwwww. It's ok, new one is coming through the pipes. Sit tight!

I just baked Banana Bread. Our freezer was full of banana's. It was getting weird.
So here's a warm up exercise using a Major Chord and a Minor Chord
1 2 3 5 3 2 1 in Gb Major,
over to
1 2 b3 5 b3 2 1 in Ab minor.
In a 3/4 time,
"What is that thing I can smell
Is it some thing I don’t like?
What is that Banana smell?
Is it banana bread?"
It'll make sense. Good Good.
Then, there's a blank song for you to write a song to.
A writing exercise!! Whaaat?! Yes!!
Awesome!

Hiya,
Today I wanted to have a chat about all the things that get in the way of you singing. Push 'em over! Get them outta here! Let your voice fly free!
Then we'll have a big long note, breathe deep sing for Sparrows!

Hey, in this episode we explore the Major Pentatonic Scale - 1 2 3 5 6
it starts a little jazzy, grooves past country and rounds the corner in soul music as it usually does round here...
Then we delve into a world of Vocal Registers.
From your chest voice- where you might normally speak, up through to your head voice. And the grand canyon between. Dont be afraid, we sing it pretty fun!

I'm playing the chords E and A! Easy!

Hi there, this Episode features the song by the delightful Vince Jones called 'Jettison' from his 2004 Live Album.
I lead you through diving down from your G Major Scale to the D Mixolydian Scale and then we learn the Trumpet line from there.
I do take it up a few semitones at the end so you can feel it in different keys.
D is pretty Low on this horn line for me, but It's my intention to do things in a variety of Keys - for you, and You, and You!
Episodes are released EARLY to my amazing Patreon supporters, so please do head on over and jump onboard if you feel like thats your thang!

Hello 2021, you crazy chicken.
I've missed making my podcast so very much and I aim to jump back on the bandwagon as much as I can this year.

In this Episode we explore Modes.
A way of singing new scales and exploring music theory.
You'll hear me stretch my range a little bit - I go pretty high for me.
I give it a whirl in two keys, so see how you go or drop me a line if you struggled and I'll find a key thats better for you.

In the key of E minor-
the Minor 11 Chord
1, flat 3, 5, flat 7, 9, 11
And then a chordal game where you take out one number and still sing the rest of the exercise.
And then a songwriting game, I'll start you off, and then you make something up...
"I don't know which way I should Go..... I wanna be free baby".
This episode we had the incredible Grant Gerathy (Jon Butler) join us on the Drum Kit,
And the Delightful Dan Brown (he's famous cause he's my husband) play the bass and keys.
Cause singing exercises should be Funky and have a good back beat!
