I really like people who love and know how to sing. And the better a person sings, the more he (or she) I like. Maybe it sounds funny, but I'm even ready to close my eyes to the many shortcomings of someone who sings well. I don't know why, but it makes me feel very comfortable with the person. I find male singing to be very sexy. Sometimes I look at a man singing (singing well, I mean) and I like him so much! In short, if a guy can sing, this is a big plus for him in my eyes. Here is my weirdness.

whatever you say, but a beautiful voice that is combined with excellent singing is super! What a pleasure it is to close your eyes, enjoy the singing!... And the thought is spinning in my head: "If only this would go on and on and on...":)

In order to sing well, there is little natural vocal data. The voice is an instrument, and a very complex instrument, because each person's voice is unique. And learning to master your voice is much more difficult than learning to play any musical instrument. Therefore, I respect people who develop their voice. This is a lot of work, and not as easy as it seems.

Well, I don’t know about different tools! After all, I hope you don't think that the goal of the piano is simply to learn how to quickly move your fingers across the keyboard? There, too, you need to hear every sound, work on every note. So both singers and pianists in their prime must work 10 (no exaggeration) or even 12 hours a day. Paderewski (a pianist from the early 20th century) used to work for 17 hours with short breaks.

I have a girl at work. She looks like 16 years old. She can even be called pretty, for her age she is too well-fed, I even dare to say, plump. She is very simple, talkative, a little rude, but a peculiar girl. I used to not pay attention to her, but recently I have been looking at her more and more often. And this is where it started. At work, the radio plays almost to its fullest. All willing girls begin to sing along with him, I don’t join them, because. I know that a bear stepped on my ear. Most of the voices are pleasant, but no more. And then one day I'm standing, working, and suddenly I hear such a gentle, flowing soprano. It was the voice of an angel. I just can't express myself otherwise. Such a sweet and beautiful voice! I stood as if struck by thunder ... Radio !? No, it's not the radio. There, usually such nasty voices sound like "wait, wait, where are you going." I turn my head and she sings! In my opinion, a really good voice is a rarity... Art makes a person beautiful!

And what's wrong with the fact that a person can sing well? You can sing along with him!)))

Saroiha, is it bad if a person is proud of his real virtues, even given by nature? Much worse is the unreasonable pride of the descending drunkenness and poverty with their miserable intellect and absolute mediocrity - you encounter this every day, while proud vociferous artists are extremely rare.

Sing always, sing everywhere... Who is irresistibly drawn to sing?

May 16, 2016 - One comment

A man walks and sings something. It means he's in a good mood. He seems to be saying to others: “Look, here I am! And I'm happy!" A lover sings louder, and if there are no people next to him - even at the top of his voice. Sings a song about love. A few lines over and over.

Are you familiar with this? If yes, then you are one of the few owners of the visual vector.

According to the System-Vector Psychology of Yuri Burlan, a vector is a group of innate human properties that determine character traits, hobbies, potential abilities and talents. There are eight vectors. And the representatives of the visual vector are only five percent.

About singing systematically…

Most stage singers who successfully perform in concerts have a cutaneous-visual bundle of vectors. In such a bundle, there is a desire to go on stage, demonstrate oneself and share emotions with the audience.

It is the visual vector that gives its owner an incredible emotional amplitude. Only in the constant change of emotions does the viewer feel the fullness of life. And the song is an opportunity to broadcast your feelings to the whole world around you. Whether it's sadness or love.

If a sound vector is present along with the visual-skin ligament, then the singer puts a deeper, philosophical meaning into his songs. Such a singer often writes both music and poetry himself.

And when a singing person, plus everything mentioned above, also has an oral vector, then he is simply "obliged" to be an opera singer. He has a powerful classical voice.

However, oral players from time immemorial perfectly coped with the role, for example, of harmonists. With their cheerful song and ditties, they helped modest girls and indecisive guys to meet each other in a round dance. According to the system-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan, their song carries natural meanings that make both the mind and body unconditionally agree with them.

What emotions does singing give?

But still, it is the visual that is the main vector that gives people the desire to express emotions with a song. It is visual singing that touches the soul, relaxes. And if necessary, and lulls.

Singing gives people a wide variety of emotions. It brings people very close when they sing together, sitting by the fire, for example, looking at flames and sparks flying far up. At such moments, many of us feel a calm happiness, a pacifying unity between ourselves and nature.

Combat song brings soldiers together. Especially if the eagle-singer has a strong beautiful voice. Ka-a-ak will sing! The rest will pick up. Maybe after that someone will not want to offend a younger colleague.

With heavy monotonous work, singing also helps. It diversifies monotony and boredom. Adds a drop of joy to the monotonous existence of people engaged in such work. When you are nearing the end of your strength, singing can help you make the last effort.

What a wonderful day
What a wonderful stump
What a wonderful me
And my song.

It has long been known that singing is one of the most famous ways to enjoy life.

Sometimes it happens that the worse a person sings, the more he loves this activity. In this case, he simply sings along or purrs some melody under his breath. When he does this, he feels better at heart, and everyday problems cease to be problems.

Therefore, it is nice to sing a song in chorus on a holiday. It does not matter that half of the "performers" do not know the words, while the other simply cannot sing. All the same, it turns out sincerely and, most importantly, together! That is why many people love to sing. And people with a visual vector revere this activity more than others.

Now it is easy to satisfy this desire. There is karaoke, amateur performances and just a warm company in the kitchen…

In this article, we talked about the song and the desire to sing. But the owners of various vectors still have a lot of properties and only their inherent desires. You can learn more about them at trainings in system-vector psychology by Yuri Burlan. Register for free online training

Finally, it has happened: a way has been found to maintain the general tone of the body and, consequently, health, which does not require either strength or money, but brings only sheer pleasure! After all, everyone loves to sing, but few people think about what.

Therefore, if suddenly you are seized by the desire to sing - in the shower, in the car or with friends under karaoke - obey it immediately. In addition to the fact that this ancient art gives pleasure, it improves well-being, relieves pain and even prolongs life. And you don't have to be a professional to benefit from singing.

Research scientists at the University of Frankfurt concluded that singing protects the upper respiratory tract from infections and stimulates the production of antibodies by the body.

"In terms of positive health effects, singing is akin to meditation and long walks," says Prof. Kreutz, head of the research program. In addition, in people who regularly sing, the supply of oxygen to the organs improves, which stimulates blood circulation and improves tone.

When a person sings, his heart rate and blood pressure decrease. Singing relieves tension and pain, so New York hospitals use it to alleviate both the psychological and physiological suffering of patients.

Observing patients who received severe injuries, doctors noticed the following: a person who is constantly in pain sometimes has a desire to

Break out of his body, and when he sings, he kind of rises above himself. It seems that singing blocks the nerve pathways through which pain impulses pass.

Choral singing is especially useful for older people. In their case, there are significant improvements in well-being. Singing pensioners are less likely to see a doctor, suffer from depression less often, resort to medication less often, fall and get injured less often. They feel better both when they sing and at other times.

In addition, in people who sing, the voice remains young longer, which is important for women during menopause, when the voice loses its melodiousness.

In one of the American hospitals they went even further - they created groups of choral singing for those suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's disease and sclerosis. As for memory loss, it turned out that melodies are stored in the brain separately from other information, and patients are glad that they can still remember or learn something.

Research shows that singing stimulates the immune system. With regular classes in the choir, the body increases the level of immunoglobulin-A and cortisol, which are signs of good immunity.

Singers claim that their lungs work better, they have fewer asthma attacks, they feel more energetic and confident, calm and cheerful.

In order to get the most benefit from singing, you need to sing not only regularly, but also correctly. If you've ever been in a choir, you've probably been told how to do it. The sound should not come from the throat, but deep from the chest, almost from the stomach. The fact is that you need to use the diaphragm - the muscle that separates the chest from the abdominal cavity.

If you want to start singing to improve your health but don't know how to do it, or are afraid that you won't be accepted into the choir due to lack of musical data, buy a training CD.

And if you are embarrassed to sing in society, then no one bothers you to sing at home when no one is around, or in a car with the windows closed.

“... - But what do you think, when people sing?
- Do they sing? At demonstrations...
- So. Well, more.
- At the Opera they sing when they drink, they sing ...
- Balda! Do you know when people sing?
- When there is no hearing and voice?
When they are happy...
Dialogue from the film "The Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath"

There is an opinion among the people that if a person sang not at the Opera, and not at a demonstration, but just like that, it means that he is either sick, or drunk, or happy.
I don't think they are right. Imagine this situation: you are standing at a crossroads, and a traffic cop passes by you, humming something under his breath. What does this mean? Say, did you make a lot of money? Not necessary. Maybe the girlfriend has returned, the salary has been increased, or just like that.
Today I was standing in line for bread, and behind me was an old woman who happily hummed some very familiar melody under her breath. I looked back and saw that she was smiling.
A young man walked past me, singing something. The face is bright, contented ...
After all, I have a security guard at work who constantly sings and even dances. The smile never leaves her face...
And finally, myself. I’m sitting now, singing, but my heart is so sad that it’s like cats are scratching ...
So believe the signs of life ...

Interesting... But the other day I was going to work, it was supposed to be one of my hardest working days, and suddenly I found myself singing the song "Take your overcoat, let's go home" aloud. Although little good was expected that day ... Well, there were several more times similar cases, with different songs and different moods)))
I liked your miniature, it is kind)

We do not know exactly when a person began to sing and play musical instruments. But we are almost sure that what began to sing and play musical instruments was not yet a man. This confidence appeared quite recently, and fifty years ago the entire scientific world fully adhered to the Marxist-Engels point of view on music: a man invented it in order to synchronize the actions of a team with rhythmic cries, which performs a joint work that requires coherence. For example, you need to move a mammoth carcass or roll a boulder up the mountain, which will be good to cover the entrance to the cave. In a word, "Oh, club, let's go!" - the source of the musical tradition of mankind.

Singing was also ideal for rhythmizing monotonous activity: “Three, skin, rub - there will be a doha for the son. Boil, peas, cook - there will be porridge for your daughter.

A wonderful positive theory, which, however, completely ignored the fact that representatives of species sang songs around the working person day-to-day, which were not noticed in diligence and did not hunt mammoths. And their peppy "chirp-chirik" and "qua-qua" did not become less rhythmic and musical because of this.

In the end, individual citizens began to wonder: if all kinds of titmouse sing because they want to multiply, then why did it have to be invented for a person some other motive? Hmm... we still use music for this too! Some serenades are worth something. Let's leave these citizens to think further and see what happens in the meantime behind the fence separating physics from metaphysics.

Music of the Spheres

For idealists and romantics, as always, everything was much more colorful and understandable. Music is a gift of the gods, the initial vibration of the universe, the voice of angels. She pacifies animals, moves stones, creates universes. “Of the pleasures of life, one love, music yields.” The harp was invented by Apollo, the lyre by Hermes, the flute by Athena. The Bodhisattva descended from heaven to help Toshikage make the seven lutes of the koto from the sacred branch of the udumbara.

People with good hearing tend to be more emotional

In general, the idea is clear: music is the highest form of existence of information, which allows a person, standing on tiptoe, to look into the world of the unknowable with one eye. That is why she is able to disturb the soul so much. Love for music is pure, like love for the beauty of nature, there is nothing selfish, consumerist, lustful in it. It is irrational, and everything irrational is highly valued by idealists because it is of no use.

By the way, birds, frogs and cicadas also found a place in this picture. All of them, squeaking, gurgling and whistling, are members of the choir, which glorifies the Lord with a single song of the Earth. Charm, right?

However, different animals react to music in different ways. it is clearly recognized and even sometimes they can “sing along”. Horses can prance to marches. Songbirds love to listen to the radio and sometimes try to repeat a song they like. unless the ear displeasedly leads to a particularly hoarse howl from the speakers. And put some wombat at least Mozart, at least Manson - in response there will be a complete ignore, and the carrot crunch will not become one iota more rhythmic. And in this difference of reactions lies the answer to the question why music seems so beautiful to us.

People are like birds

In fact, neither the idealists nor the materialists were right, and the latter were even more mistaken than the former.

People like music for one reason only: we belong to a species for which sound signals play an important role in life, and the rhythm of these signals, their tonality has always been a way for us to transmit information from individual to individual. In other words, the human language began not with words in their modern sense, but with singing, with the transfer of emotions and meanings by tonality and rhythm. Perhaps the first to guess about this was Charles Darwin, who in 1871 wrote literally the following: “ The sounds made by birds are in some respects extremely similar to language ... Language can go back to singing, which could give rise to words expressing different». Today this assumption of Darwin is considered absolutely correct. Last year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) presented an extensive study confirming this hypothesis.

Shigeru Migayawa, the lead author of the project, points out that only 70-80 thousand years ago our ancestors began to master the lexical component of speech, introducing this innovation into familiar motifs. Until then, we did not speak, but sang like angels in paradise. Our vocal cords and speech apparatus - one of the most complex musical instruments in nature - convincingly testify that a person is a singing creature. And until now, intonations are more important for us than the meaning of words (if it were not so, sarcasm would not have the slightest chance of survival).

Surprise, sadness, joy, fear, prayer - almost any emotion a person can convey to another, regardless of what languages ​​they speak. It did not extend to the most ancient form of speech. Moreover, other group animals or synanthropic animals can also convey their experiences to us. With some training, we recognize sadness in the lowing of a cow, and discontent in a cat's meow, and delight in a dog's bark. But in order to understand what is wrong, for example, with a wombat, we will have to feel his nose and shove a thermometer in his ass. Because the wombat, as an animal, frankly, anti-social, will not be able to sing us an aria about its suffering. Not trained.

Human language began with singing

Here are five more interesting facts related to the fact that we began to sing before we spoke.

• We easily memorize rhythmic text (we remember songs and poems much better and longer than prose).
• Even a professional audience perceives better than his words. Experiments were carried out when an actor spoke in front of professional meetings (of doctors, philologists, etc.), vividly and emotionally pronouncing a generally meaningless text with non-existent terms. Only 5–10% of the audience of participants were able to recognize the fake, while the rest highly appreciated the performance during the survey.
• Stutterers practically do not stutter when they sing.
• 50% of the sounds made by mothers dealing with newborns are devoid of lexical meaning (all these "usi-pusi", "nu-nu", "ply-ply-ply-ply"). On the other hand, the intonational coloring of these lisps is extremely variable and abundant, because from the point of view of the mother's evolutionary program, the most important thing for a child to learn to recognize the emotions of other members of the group is the first thing.
• People with a good ear for music are usually more emotional, more sensitive than people who have had a good walk around the ears of bears. Famous singers, musicians and poets were more often neurotic and hysterical than, for example, writers, scientists and military leaders.

Getting used to music

Studying the songs of starlings, the Soviet naturalist Maxim Zverev was amazed at their variability. A young starling, entering the age of reproduction, composes its own song, focusing on the loudest and most characteristic sounds in the area. He not only weaves rhythms and sounds popular with other starlings into his mating tunes, but he can also meow like a cat, croak like a frog, imitate herons, swallows and jays. And Zverev himself enriched the starling folklore with the sounds of a typewriter - several young birds living under his window admired this marvelous crackle and included it in their repertoire, throwing into the dustbin of history all these "peak-peak" and "click-click" that their mother taught them and dad (“peak-peak” and “click-click” do not attract the attention of a teenage bird, do not force them to listen, as they are too familiar). But the older the bird becomes, the less often it learns fashionable novelties, preferring to sing the same thing that it performed for beautiful ladies in its youth.

With a person, everything happens in much the same way. First, we master the “patties” that seem to program our musical genetic code forever, but, entering the time of puberty, we are ready to rethink these “patties” a little. Like starlings among Zverevskaya lilacs, we look around and listen to what songs the coolest males sing. (The starlings, of course, did not take Maxim Dmitrievich himself for the alpha male of the entire neighborhood - they heard clicks that were incredible in terms of loudness and relentlessness and greatly respected the invisible guy.)

So a kind of conditional Vasya, who now greatly appreciates witch house, because only the coolest guys know what it is, clearly follows his father, who once learned to stick his tongue out to his Adam's apple no worse than Gene Simmons. And together with dad, they are worthy heirs of Vasya’s great-great-grandfather, who tormented the talyanka at a party with factory girls, because a real chic gentleman can certainly play “Marusya poisoned herself” so that she breaks through a tear (“Your Grace’s napkin, Akulina Makarovna, what’s up to our nose don't you say?").

Stutterers don't stutter when they sing

There is no art world whose styles would change as rapidly as in modern music, because every five to ten years new parts of boys with burning eyes come, who certainly need to compose their own, unlike anything song and wipe their noses with suckers and old people .

And there is no art in the world that would be so masculine.

Girls, of course, also love music, but in a slightly different way. It’s just that girls most often don’t need to prove anything to anyone, and they can come off without thinking about who and what will think of them. Yes, she likes Justin Bieber's bangs, this Finnish song about "lam-tsa-tsa, ariba-dabi-dila", and Mozart's Fortieth Symphony, because she first kissed a boy in the backyard of a music school when some unfortunate the child tormented Wolfgang Amadeus. Girls can love a particular song, a particular artist, but be a fan of a certain musical style? No, this is a rarity in the world of women.

And in this they were generally lucky, because there is no easier way to feel like outdated trash than to start talking about music with citizens five or ten years younger than you. You just allowed yourself to blurt out something about art rock, and they look at you as if you pulled a harpsichord and a powdered wig from under the table.

Secret sounds become clear

Just as starlings had to stew in their own juice before the appearance of the Great Typewriter, extremely rarely finding new songs for their songs, music before the advent of sound recording equipment for a very long time remained a matter of local, national, sometimes even family and very slowly changing. But, as soon as these very means of sound recording * appeared, the boundaries broke through immediately.

By the way, the first such tool was not gramophones at all, but notes. Eleventh century AD

For example, in Japan in the 9th century, it was customary to keep musical works secret, the techniques of playing strings and wind instruments were passed from father to daughter and from mother to son in the strictest secrecy - to the point that the servants who remained in the house for the duration of the training, it was prescribed to plug the ears with cotton wool. And if one of the aristocratic ladies or gentlemen, succumbing to the requests of the emperor, agreed to play in the palace garden “The Barbarian pipe” or “A bright dress from the rainbow, an outfit made of painted feathers”, then then the emperor could at least ask for a few more years, but they kept a pause so that someone inadvertently does not remember secret searches, he could not blasphemously repeat.

Gypsies were the first, even before the invention of music, to be smugglers, traveling salesmen, and distributors of music. This Indian caste of musicians and singers traveled all over Eurasia and even Africa in some places, earning money by street concerts. Keeping their ears open sensitively, the gypsies stole, borrowed, distributed and mixed the melodies of the world. And there is practically not a single national musical culture that would not have been influenced by the gypsy, that is, the originally international combined hodgepodge: China, India, the Mediterranean, the Middle East generously, albeit involuntarily, endowed each other with melodies and rhythms through gypsy guitars and tambourines.

Of course, even today the average Russian, the average American, the average Chinese and the average Arab will love very different music (you shouldn't discount those very "okays" anyway). But a thousand years ago, a Japanese and, say, a Saxon would hardly have recognized each other's musical culture as music in principle. So today the national framework in the perception of music has become very thin and transparent, each of us makes up our own playlist, only slightly looking back at our gender, nation and age.

And the good news is that modern man is much better able to hear music than his peers of the 17th, 18th or even 19th centuries. According to Harvard University research, the count is already decades: people born in the 90s perceive complex polyphony better than natives of the 80s, who outperform the generation of the 70s in this regard. Well, that's to be expected. The greater the choice of dishes the listener has, the more diverse the music that has made its way to his ears, the more complex and whimsical his tastes are. And the appearance of records, cassettes, CDs, iPods and iTunes has turned the whole world into a truly gigantic gathering of music lovers. The abilities of mankind in terms of musical perception are growing year by year.

So maybe someday we will return to the most natural way of communication for our species and, abandoning words, we will perfectly whistle accurate information to each other.

• More than a dozen types of musical hearing exist in musical psychology: absolute hearing, rhythmic, internal, harmonic, textural, architectonic, etc. Some of them are an exclusively innate feature, some are laid down in the first years of life, some can sometimes be developed even in adulthood . But there are also such things as the emotional perception of music, the ability to release dopamine in response to certain sounds in the right sequence, personal children's inbreeding ligaments. In general, there are no two people in the world with the same musical tastes.
• An experiment was conducted at the University of Texas in the 1980s. Newborn rat pups were kept in cages for two months, in which music was sometimes turned on: one group - classical, another - atonic, and the third - just the noise of a fan. Then the rats were transferred to other cages, where they could press one of the three keys themselves and listen to any of the recordings. The rats liked the toy and often played music. In whatever cage the rats were brought up, they listened equally to classical and atonic music, but the key with fan noise, after several short trials, remained unclaimed.
• Only 2% of people are able to determine the emotional state of a person with almost 100% accuracy from a few spoken phrases (and the text is read out in a calm manner). These percentages were calculated during extensive NASA astronaut training programs: astronauts were forced to read a text after training, at the time of lifting a load, after losing their favorite team, during a party, etc. It was from these 2% of people with absolute emotional hearing that they selected later observers of the psychological state of astronauts in flight.
• A recording of the chirping of grasshoppers, staged at a speed to which the human ear is susceptible, is perceived by us as a solemn polyphonic chorale. This recording was made by composer Jim Wilson, giving it the name "God's chorus of crickets".
