Fan Mail Portal May I begin this introduction with the clearest heading that I am in no way a Doctor and nor have I studied anything close to something offical in that realm. This is a story about a friend, and a singing lesson from an empathetic, well meaning person on a rainy day. I send this with the best intentions and care and I hope you're going ok today. In this episode I jam along with Grant Gerathy on the Drum kit. You can track him down on instagram @cruisetheday_moneybynight And we jam on my song, I would be so honoured and humbly grateful to ask that you might go and listen to my song, and stick it on two of your favourite playlists, if you felt like it was a vibe... That would be so wonderful. It's called "Glue" by Shelly Brown. Thanks and lotsa love.

Fan Mail Portal Hey, I ran into a friend in the shops and he asked if I teach five year olds... and Its been on my mind ever since... Like... Maybe, what would I say to my five year old self? I grew up singing with my family. After dinner dad would play guitar, we sang all these funny old songs that I don't even know if anyone else knew. The other kids listened to Michael Jackson and Prince, I was singing Bernard Bolan, and The Clancy Brothers and John Williamson... A random array of nutty Dad songs. That entirely shaped my 'let's sing' attitude. So, this ones a warm up that is loosey goosey and silly fun, and then a singing thing thats from an African inspired Choir Harmony, Bob Marley, Anjelique Kidjo stunning song. Sing along. You don't have to get in an actual car. Make on out of Cardboard. It can be imaginary. You dont have to actually be five years old. You can just pretend that bit too. Lotsa love, Shelly The Words are: Ha Waa Ley Why, Ley Baa Baa Wa - ohhh, Waa, Jah Ley Muu, Oh Muu Africa.

Fan Mail Portal Hi there, This is a project that has been on the burners for about two years, and now I've made it to this point - I'm holidng my breath - Is this a thing? Does this work? For about two decades I have attended so many songwriting workshops. I love word games, heart games, writing, creative writing, all the things. And for the last two years, I have been teaching songwriting workshops in Byron Bay (NSW Australia), whilst also making the Singing Lessons for No One Podcast (sporadically...) I wanted to make the Workshops in to SOMETHING... An online course? There's so many... Ideas are endless.. But really. My podcast is nearing 100k streams. I feel like that might mean people, like, actually, like it? I dunno. Anyway. Does Songwriting exercises on a podcast work? Would a classroom listen to this? Is this useful to you? If even, say, a person, one single person said yes, then, there's more where this came from. So, if you can, lemme know ok? This Podcast Episode holds: Vocal Warm Up - Major Scale, Songwriting Exercise: Introduction Singing Exercise - Major and Minor Chords Songwriting Exercise - Vegetable Songwriting Exercise - Alphabet Garden Singing Exercise - Mood Indigo xx Shelly Cover Art by Jay Kingdom Podcast Music by Shelly Brown ("In We Dive" - Avail on Bandcamp & Streaming Platforms) Support the show https://www.patreon.com/Shelly_Brown www.shelly.com.au https://www.instagram.com/ shellybrownmusic/

Fan Mail Portal This Ep we're going to hassle out "Twang quality". We're going to find the strength and supreme delight in getting you nose working when you sing. It's totally a thing. If you're a visual kind of person, get out something and write this on it: The Blues Scale: 1; flat 3; 4; flat 5; 5; flat 7; 8. Then we're gonna sing a Blues song about getting stuff wrong. Thanks for listening. :) Support the show https://www.patreon.com/Shelly_Brown www.shelly.com.au https://www.instagram.com/ shellybrownmusic/

Fan Mail Portal Hi, welcome back, come on in. Today we're going to attack the Minor Pentatonic Scale. If you're a visual learner, write this down on a big piece of something in front of you: 1; flat 3; 4; 5; flat 7; 8. Now that's stuck in your brain forever, we're going to manipulate your sound to play with "Sob" Quality. Open your throat, smile, don't worry about anything. It's all going to be ok. The chords in the song section are A minor and D minor. Thanks for listening. Support the show https://www.patreon.com/Shelly_Brown www.shelly.com.au https://www.instagram.com/ shellybrownmusic/
