    Thanks both for taking the time to read and giving detailed replies. Appreciate it!

    @Kat
    I love the touching the speaker idea. I will definitely try that next time! I have talked about counting the beats and talked about accents – ie. which syllable falls on the beat etc. but I probably need to go into more detail.

    I have already tried association with lyrics and it just doesn’t seem to help. Actually everything you’ve said with lyric help I’ve tried!! I’ll keep at it though. It can’t be happening enough.

    @Gael
    Thanks for this, will download and try it out!

    Wow Wes, just read this, that’s similar to the advice I just gave you about your 18 year old! I really think what you’ve said is bang on and applies to those with confidence issues too:)

    I’m sure Ken Bozeman would be more professional and academic in a lecture than me.. Lol

    I did go away and think about our body as a car and came up with this:

    Diaphragm = engine
    Larynx = gears (but probably should be steering wheel for pitch lol)
    Mouth/tongue = Maybe this should be gears, like for different tones
    Dynamics = accelerator
    Eyes = indicator!
    Radio = YOUR SINGING!!!

    Any more?!

    It’s silly fun really.

    I do love a good fricative. Revving sounds! The diaphragm is the engine! The larynx is the gears. Pitch is the steering wheel! (Wow, I’m on a roll)
