Dr. Thomas V. Taylor, an experienced and retired surgeon, loves music and singing. Whenever he wasn’t busy in surgery or training young doctors, he took the time to play the guitar and sing in choirs and other musical groups.“I have sung with the…choir at St. Michaels Church in Houston, Texas, and the choir at St. Vincent’s Church in Altrincham, Cheshire, England.”One of the secrets to becoming a good singer is having confidence in your ability. A confident singer projects their voice well, and it helps you bring out the best tone. Of course, there’s no substitute for proper and consistent training, but believing in yourself is one of the first steps to succeeding.Second, many novice singers have trouble controlling their breathing. Learning how to inhale takes practices. Belly breathing is essential to projecting a better singing tone.Dr. Thomas V. Taylor has lived and worked in Houston, Texas, for more than twenty years.
