Project “Growing up”

It has been a while since my last post (more than a year – outch) and this time I’d like to start a series of articles about my new hobby, singing.

Like many of you I suppose, I have the bad habit of singing under the shower… Nice and fun activity but when you start to like the sound of it, well, it makes sense considering becoming better. This encouraged me to take singing lessons from February 2011. This hobby is not only fun, it also helps me improving my English diction and vocabulary.

So from now on, I will publish – under a new page – the songs I am rehearsing and the ones I am covering as an over and above task. Hopefully, some videos should be posted on Youtube but at the moment I need to start recording the songs first!

Of course, I had to provide myself with music hardware and invested in the following stuff:-

• External sound card: Alesis iO2 Express
• Microphone: RODE NT-1
• Keyboard: Yamaha  YPT-210

I plan to write some articles about these items in order to pass-on some tips&tricks I learned while using them.

Finally, you have probably noticed in the title of this post the “Growing up” part. Well, just stay tuned to this blog as I plan to publish more about it in the next few days.

Cheers!
