Riding and Singing

How is singing beautifully compare to riding a bike?  One way is in the importance of balance.  On the bike, balance is used to stay on two wheels.  In singing, to continuously provide tonal colour.

In learning to ride, we learn to:-

  1. rely on the sensation of balance and continuous fine control to stay on the bike
  2. to hop on a bike and establish balance quickly and
  3. combine balance with variations in speed, distance, duration, purpose and style to keep things both pleasurable and interesting.  
The path we ride on the bike is the tune we sing.
