Singing & Music

Use singing, rhythm and music to train English pronunciation, phrasing, stress and clearer speech.

Melody, rhythm and breathing are the same tools you use when you speak. Singing slows language down, makes stress and linking audible and gives your voice more range and confidence. Here you’ll find exercises for your voice, vocal health for teachers and speakers, and English through songs.

1 Voice & Speaking

How your voice, rhythm and pace shape the way people understand you. Start with your speaking voice, then add songs, articulation and vocal technique.

2 Learn English Through Songs

Songs make stress, weak forms and linking easy to hear, and they stay in your memory.

3 Articulation & Singing

Warm up your mouth, lips and jaw, and use melody to make sounds clearer.

4 Vocal Health

For teachers and everyone who wants to use their voice efficiently: presence, technique, voice care and daily habits.

5 Vocal Coaching: Voice Basics

Twelve short quizzes for singers and speakers on the basics of the voice, in English.

8 Singing & Music Resources

Tools I use and recommend:

Chordie

Thousands of song lyrics with the chords you need. I recently discovered it and find it really helpful.

Chordify · My favourite

Chords for keyboard, piano, guitar, mandolin and ukulele. I’ve been using it for two years and think it’s really good value for money.

Pronunciation: Hear and see all the sounds you sing in The Sounds of British English.

9 Why Music Helps Your English

Singing trains the same skills as speaking, only slower and more clearly.

Rhythm

Stressed syllables fall on the beat, just like in spoken English.

Linking

Words flow together in a melody, so you hear how sounds connect.

Breathing

Longer phrases build breath control for clear, steady speech.

Pitch

Moving your voice up and down prepares you for natural intonation.

Confidence

A warm, open voice carries in meetings, classrooms and presentations.

Sing it. Say it. Own it.
A few minutes of humming, singing or chanting before you speak warms up your voice and your English at the same time.

Breathe. Sing. Speak.
