Your voice is a remarkable instrument that requires consistent care and attention to maintain its power, range, and expressiveness. When left unused, even the most extraordinary voices can deteriorate—much like a car that sits too long in a garage, eventually struggling to start.

Drawing from decades of experience as both a performer and voice trainer, I share my passionate perspective on vocal maintenance and why singers must never stop practicing. While recording and public performances may come and go, daily vocal exercise remains critical for preserving your instrument. My own journey illustrates this principle—though my voice reached its peak during years of active performance with my sister Lora, I never stopped singing daily, ensuring I remained ready whenever opportunities arose.

Age inevitably affects our voices, but consistent practice prevents complete vocal loss. I recommend even just ten minutes daily of scales, favorite songs, or simple exercises to keep your voice "oiled up." For those who haven't sung in years but wish to reclaim their voices, I offer encouragement: start slowly, rebuild gradually, and treat your voice with the patience it deserves. Whether you're performing for audiences or just for your household pets (as I often do!), maintaining that connection with your voice preserves not just technique but the joy of expression.

Keeping your musical gifts active honors both your talent and its divine source. I believe these abilities are meant to be nurtured and shared throughout our lives. Whatever your musical ability—singing, drums, guitar—don't let it fade through neglect. With consistent care and practice, you won't just maintain your skills—you'll continue to grow and improve with time. How are you keeping your voice or instrument tuned up today?
