Blogging is hard.
I had a decent idea all laid out. I had in mind some interesting questions on the nature of “Can singing be taught?” It was inspired by American Idol Simon’s general dismissiveness to horrible singers and his frequent suggestion that they pursue another line of work. I wondered, “How bad does a singer need to be in order to not be able to achieve a decent singing voice with sufficient patience and training?” and “Does the natural appeal of a good voice make teaching a horrible voice so repulsive that only the heartiest ears could train them?”
Then I realized that this question had to have been asked before. I thought that as a responsible blogger (or at least one that doesn’t want to look like a fool) I would research the topic and maybe provide some references. Of course it doesn’t seem to even be much of a question. Upon reading just a couple of sources I now believe that singing can be effectively taught (with enough patience on both sides) and that my questions are not very interesting anymore.
See: similar research from my colleague, Matthew Baldwin.
