If you Google "how to sing in tune," you'll get half a million results. Half a million. If you're a beginner singer, that's like being in the middle of a jungle without a map.

I created Uncaged Bird because I saw a need for trustworthy information for people who are beginner singers.

Often, I hear someone say that they can't sing, as if it’s a foregone conclusion. If you are one of these people, what you read here should convince you otherwise! The aim of Uncaged Bird is to provide you with the right information to take the first step towards a singing life, whatever that step may be for you.

Whether you want to impress your current friends at the next karaoke night or find new friends by joining a choir, there is something here for you. The stories you’ll read here at Uncaged Bird will show you the truth:

Anyone can sing.

Our mission is to create a world where no one says "I can't carry a tune." If you're looking for a good place to start, click here.
