The amazing thing is that any of us can sing, just as teh amazing thing is we are able to talk. The thing is, most of us don't have the faintest idea of how we do it, how we change the sound, how we tell which is the right sound and so forth.

Is there a danger that learning that kind of stuff, which in a way is what formal singing technique training is about, can get in the way of being able to do it? Like the story of the centipede who was asked how he decided which leg to step off on, and what order to use teh other ones, and he was immobilised as he tried to work it out.
