Born on stage?

continued from last week

So...it made us wonder. Does good pitch and singing get harder as we get older?


It would seem that as children we have not yet learned to judge ourselves with a harsh critical eye. We are free to express ourselves because we are not afraid to make mistakes. When we are young we know that we have many more opportunities ahead of us in life so perhaps it takes the pressure off this one? We perform without inhibition because we are happy to express ourselves as we are now, before we begin learning that the world makes comparisons... or more importantly we do. And it would seem that when we let go.... trust our ear, trust ourselves or perhaps more accurately, not try too hard (as we adults tend to)....our pitch is almost always spot on!


As we get older we must remind ourselves that what we have to offer is still unique. It might be fear that tells us we should just keep a lid on what we hope is within us or life experience that has taught us that it is more productive to stay on the well-paved road. Then there is also the point that people are a whole pile more forgiving of the mistakes children make and by the time we are adults we really should know better?

But let's put all this aside because perhaps when it comes to singing it would seem that it might just pay to tap into your inner child, go with your spontaneity and trust your instinct because holding back is just so easy for a whole pile of boring adult reasons.

And the moral of the story is...perhaps if you go with your inner child it could actually help you sing more in tune. It might even help you perform like you were born on stage!

Ti lascio una canzone

Occasionally we watch the RAI Italia channel on pay TV. We signed up for pay TV convincing ourselves that we would watch Italian television all the time in order to keep up our Italian language skills and watch some of our favourite programs. Unfortunately we were to discover that the Aussie Italian channel only showed the absolute worst shows on Italian telly with almost nothing worth watching...except one program, Ti lascio una canzone.

Ti Lascio Una Canzone is basically a children's singing competition, not dissimilar to X Factor but with the kids ranging in age from about 8 to 13. Most of them seem absolutely teeny weeny and it is amazing to see them up on stage, fully confident, strutting their stuff and belting out classic Italian ballads with almost perfect intonation.

Their pitch was so good and seemed so natural that it began to make Jamie and I wonder if singing in tune is something that actually gets harder as we get older. Anyone who watches our Australian version of X Factor or Idol will be well aware that a lot of the singers struggle to stay consistently in tune. Yet, these kiddie winks on the Italian program sang really well in tune for their entire performance, were at ease with themselves on stage performing honestly and spontaneously.

Perhaps we just get more self conscious as we get older which prevents us from being truly in the moment. Maybe the sound engineer was really good on this program!

So...it made us wonder. Does good pitch and singing get harder as we get older?

Take a look!
