Subject: RE: Is it Ok to sing from a song book?
Much as I don't mind using a music stand, I should have added that looking down at a song book or computer screen as some have mentioned really is not a good thing, it does create bad technique and makes a nervous voice twice as bad. But copy the words onto an a-4 sheet and write then in large letters. Used with a music stand should mean little or no looking down. At our club we position the music stand for all who need it at the right ditance and level, done properly you should be able to see the words quite clearly and without any lowering of the head. With practise you can gradually learn to sing without it
