Heya, I wanted to work on a warm up that is a minor pentatonic descnding run, and on open vowel sounds. 

Then we head into a song about my chickens. 

Here's the words - 

Amin                          C7

You Never let me down, you always pick me up,

Amin                            F   G

You never shut me out, But now you’re out there looking for dirt.

There is a worm solo at the end. 

I wanted to work on letting notes ease out to a gentle end, or to end abruptly. 

Thanks so much for listening, 

lotsa love. 

Thats all.

Hiya beautiful people! 

Thanks for tuning in to my podcast. Lotsa love to you out there. 

In this lesson we look at the Relative minor scale as a warm up. 

1, 2, flat 3, 4, 5, flat 6, flat 7, 8. 

For my exercise I leave out the flat 6 once I get going. 

We then look at two songs and moosh them together, 

a song called 'Wondering where the Lions are" by Bruce Cockburn. Such a random song to call on, but it caught my attention, so there ya go, 

and a Darren Percival song called "Down in Africa". Hi Darren! You legend xx

I wrap up with me singing at my computer cause it's not working... 

"When am I gonna learn.... "

Thanks so much for listening. 

I mentioned a few things coming up - You can track down what Im up to on

Happy New 2025 has Begun. 
And I've squirrelled away an afternoon to say hi. 
I wanted to sing a big hard song to start the year. 
It's called Magalenha, by the incredible Sergio Mendez. 
I begin in D Major, and an Aminor. 
And we sing a major scale and then, technically a Mixolydian scale cause I flatten the 7, as the song requires. 

We sing this bit:
Calangulango, do calango 
da pretinha, 'Tô cantando 
essa mudinha pra senhora se lembrar,

Daquele tempo que vivia 
la na roça com uma filha
Na barriga e outra filha pra criar

This is a message to a friend, and I thought you'd like it too. 
Cause you're my friend. 
I don't swear in my pod, but I do say sh*t twice in this. 

Sorry about that. 

Is Sh*t a swear word?

Thats all.

May I begin this introduction with the clearest heading that I am in no way a Doctor and nor have I studied anything close to something offical in that realm. 

This is a story about a friend, and a singing lesson from an empathetic, well meaning person on a rainy day. 

I send this with the best intentions and care and I hope you're going ok today. 

In this episode I jam along with Grant Gerathy on the Drum kit. 
You can track him down on instagram @cruisetheday_moneybynight

And we jam on my song, 

I would be so honoured and humbly grateful to ask that you might go and listen to my song, and stick it on two of your favourite playlists, if you felt like it was a vibe...
That would be so wonderful. 

It's called "Glue" by Shelly Brown. 

Thanks and lotsa love.

It's been too long, But here is a new one. 
I've been busy singing the things and writing and working and all the things. 
But you've been on my mind, so here's a new episode to hum along with for sure. 

A Major Scale with a Drone, 
And exercise that the amazing Harry James Angus shared with me. Check him out, he's got a new song out. 
And some breathing exercises to calm the nerves. 

Thanks so much for listening and sending hello's from around the world. 
I can't tell you how much I love to read my fan mail. 
It makes me feel all special in my heart. 
Lotsa love to you

Hey, 
I ran into a friend in the shops and he asked if I teach five year olds... and Its been on my mind ever since... Like... Maybe, what would I say to my five year old self?
I grew up singing with my family. After dinner dad would play guitar, we sang all these funny old songs that I don't even know if anyone else knew. 
The other kids listened to Michael Jackson and Prince, 
I was singing Bernard Bolan, and The Clancy Brothers and John Williamson... 
A random array of nutty Dad songs. 
That entirely shaped my 'let's sing' attitude. 
So, 
this ones a warm up that is loosey goosey and silly fun, 
and then a singing thing thats from an African inspired Choir Harmony, Bob Marley, Anjelique Kidjo stunning song. 
Sing along. 
You don't have to get in an actual car. 
Make on out of Cardboard. 
It can be imaginary. 
You dont have to actually be five years old. 
You can just pretend that bit too. 

Lotsa love, 

Shelly

Hi there,
This is a project that has been on the burners for about two years, and now I've made it to this point - I'm holidng my breath - Is this a thing? Does this work?
For about two decades I have attended so many songwriting workshops. I love word games, heart games, writing, creative writing, all the things.
And for the last two years, I have been teaching songwriting workshops in Byron Bay (NSW Australia), whilst also making the Singing Lessons for No One Podcast (sporadically...)
I wanted to make the Workshops in to SOMETHING... An online course? There's so many... Ideas are endless.. But really. My podcast is nearing 100k streams. I feel like that might mean people, like, actually,  like it? I dunno.
Anyway.
Does Songwriting exercises on a podcast work?
Would a classroom listen to this?
Is this useful to you?
If even, say, a person, one single person said yes, then, there's more where this came from.
So, if you can, lemme know ok?

This Podcast Episode holds:
Vocal Warm Up - Major Scale,
Songwriting Exercise: Introduction
Singing Exercise - Major and Minor Chords
Songwriting Exercise - Vegetable
Songwriting Exercise - Alphabet Garden
Singing Exercise - Mood Indigo

xx
Shelly
