How? Or What?

Strong belief, often mistaken, that singers don’t know how to sing.

Equally likely (more?); don’t know what singing is. Aren’t clear what: not ready for how.

How can only assist the what.

Physical tensions, misuses, equally from mistaken whats not just unknown hows.

Teaching how to wrong what confusing: physical contortions, irrelevant twister. Right hows on wrong whats: wrong!

Check, teach, what: only then how.

Wrong whats? Singing “high”, “low”, rich, bright. Singing notes, accurate, blended.

Right whats? Singing expressive, chiaroscuro vowels, legato, persuasive sentences.

These whats sound good, body responds appropriately, assisted by now relevant hows.

What before how.
