Age and singing
Have you always wished you could sing better but now believe that you're too old to learn to sing? 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. Any qualified singing coach will be able to give advice in this regard.
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 don't be put off if this is not true in your case. It's perfectly natural to experience a large number of physical changes as we get older. It's inevitable that we will lose both muscle flexibility and strength with age. 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's never to late to develop new skills and do things that inspire us and make us feel good about ourselves. It's never too late to learn develop and learn new skills. The Singing Zone is an excellent singing membership site run by L.A. singing coach Per Bristow to help singers of all ages and skill levels get more enjoyment from singing.
Although many professional and semi-professionals use the Bristow Voice Method, there are just as many beginners who use the program. 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 those activities that has no age limit, unless we are judging the way we sound towards some limiting ideal. You owe it to yourself to let your voice be heard.
