5 Aussie Music Favourites

Music taste is such a subjective thing but it’s so satisfying to discover new artists and tracks that you love. Some people find that their preferences fall into just one or two genres whereas others enjoy music from a wide variety of genres – I am definitely in the latter category! I think sometimes it can be a bit daunting discovering new music outside of the top 40 charts because there’s just so much out there! This post is a compilation of a number of perhaps lesser known Australian artists and songs that I have discovered over the past couple of years whose work I want to share with you (if you haven’t already come across some of them)! For each I have picked my favourite track and I hope that you will enjoy them too!Read More »

Why Singing is Good for You

We all have our favourite singers and styles of music that we enjoy listening to and occasionally singing along to, but did you know that the minute you open your mouth and take part it’s good for you both mentally and physically? Singing provides similar benefits to practising meditation and yoga – it’s good for clearing the mind, breathing and even your core strength! What’s more, this is the case regardless of whether you are a trained opera singer or a tone deaf shower singer!

I used to have singing lessons in primary school and I loved them but stopped when I moved to high school because I didn’t think it was “cool” anymore – so silly! However a bit over a year ago (now I’ve finished university), I began having lessons again and it has made a huge impact on my life, balancing out other activities such as work and challenging my brain in a different way as I improve my skill level! I absolutely love it – singing has had a huge positive impact on my life! So I thought I’d share with you why this might be based on some brief research and hopefully I’ll convince you to sing more too!Read More »
