Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

The Carpenters have produced many songs that evoke a sense of melancholy reminiscent of spring or autumn.

Among them are also masterpieces themed around winter.

One song I particularly recommend from their catalog is Merry Christmas Darling.

As the title suggests, it’s a Christmas-themed piece featuring a cozy melody that conjures images of relaxing by a warm fireplace.

Among the Carpenters’ works, it’s especially easy in terms of pronunciation, with a modest vocal range and simple rhythm, making it approachable even for those not used to singing English-language songs.
