About Your Tutor – Julian Bailey

Julian has been teaching singing since the 1980's.  

He has been singing a whole lot longer than that! I sang for a decade as a treble, and eventually learned how to progress to my adult tenor voice when my voice 'broke'. I well understand how to manage that transition for a young male singer. However, that understanding was only reached after some years of tuition from teachers who used 'traditional' methods that often did not help! I slowly developed a system of explanation and basic training in sound creation that I call Singing Logic.

The idea is that you learn to recognise and control your own sounds, without requiring the input of your teacher at every step. Singing Logic works equally well for male and female voices, in all vocal styles.

 

Why the motorbike? Singing is pretty difficult to 'picture', but it is definitely about being a free spirit and following your dream. In another part of my life - motorcycling - these elements, together with a bit of risk taking, are always present!  I have been singing as long as I have played the piano - and over that journey I realised that the way a pianist or an instrumentalist thinks about making musical sounds is quite different to the way a singer thinks about controlling their own sound. Most teachers are not familiar with both sides of that coin. Singing teachers are not good at assisting established musicians to sing better - but Singing Logic excels in that space.

More to the point, whether you are a student at the keyboard or a singer, the real secret to learning from your teacher is the teacher's ability to explain what you need to do to improve. My methods in both areas are explicit and logical, systematic, realistic, and effective. They make sense!

It is one thing to have the urge to sing, but not always is that enough, for all that your enthusiasm is important. Knowing what to do, and undoing the miss-steps that language causes when (for example) you try to sing 'with your voice' ... unlearning that use of language produces significant improvements in the very short term. Julian has a unique and approachable way of explaining.

Your learning will be through a growth in your understanding, which is not achieved simply through imitation of your teacher!

Julian is now a grandfather of two, and proud parent of three young people. He has a current Working With Children Check. Oh - back to the motorcycle, and perhaps an insight into my lateral view of how things are connected: I did love the 'V', which is my middle initial! 🙂
