I have been singing BVs for about 50 years and even did lead vocals when the singer went on holiday or was sick. Now , in my later years , I'm still at it but have found the breathing getting a bit harder. The move to in-ear monitoring has made things a lot better but I'd like to regain some of the strength of my earlier years. I know I'm not in anything like the shape I was in when I was younger and had decent breath control but I'm too old and arthritic to start running marathons again! I would like to have singing lessons from "proper" teachers but I've looked for people involved with Scottish Opera and The Glasgow Conservatoire but can't find anything available. I don't want to join a choir to get training as I'd rather be honest and pay someone knowledgable. A lot of on-line searches come up with people trying to lure in parents intent on making their kids Tik-Tok stars. I suppose I could just cut back on the deep fried Mars bars and Guinness and get fit but surely there must be some easier way- maybe surgery or hypnotism?
