Ritchie Blackmore
Richard Hugh Blackmore was born on April 14, 1945 in the English town of Weston-Super-Mare. The first instrument – an ordinary acoustic guitar – was presented to Ritchie at the age of ten by his father, and it was his father who insisted that Ritchie not only learned to strum on six strings, but also take classical guitar lessons. At that time, the Blackmore family was already living in the town of Heston, where, for the first time, in the house of her grandmother, Ritchie heard the powerful music of JS Bach, which had sunk into the soul of the future guitar virtuoso.

And for ordinary people – not musicians – the beauty of the voice is also important, because it depends on whether your voice is sweet or not, whether the girl will fall in love with you or not, whether the director will like you or you will not immediately like him, whether the client will trust you Or, on the contrary, immediately turn away from you and slam the door in front of your nose.

Music and vocals: learning to sing
Introduction
The exercises of this system are aimed at releasing the voice from tension, at developing and strengthening it, primarily as a human instrument and as an instrument of acting. This, rather, the release of the natural voice, rather than the development of voice equipment. (But I think that it will be very useful for vocalists to get some skills of relaxation, release from clamps.) Continue reading
