rhythmic problems

Hi Matt

Stroke recovery does take time and I applaud you for your approach in getting back to what you love, despite the new challenges and frustrations that it has brought you.

With singing it is important to seek a professional who not only understands singing but what’s behind it.  

To help you with your goal, we would highly recommend engaging a certified practising Speech Pathologist with Speech Pathology Australia,  who specialises in Voice training, voice therapy and vocal coaching. This type of professional specialises in voice therapy and can provide exercises to help you get the best result with your singing.

Hopefully other members of the stroke community may offer to share some of their experiences as well

All the best

well its been 2 years today

happy anniversay to me

im still here!!!!!!!

still working on fixing things, mostly my singing and rhythm

the thing i've noticed changing th most   the most is brain clarity

early on everything was a fog, i couldnt concentrate

problem solving was difficult

the ability to think things thru   has sped up

ive joined another band-Saloon Katz and the guys have been brilliant and i think very tolerant when ive struggled on some things

Initially they just  wanted me to play sax, they didnt kiow they were getting keys, guitar, harmonica and backing singer as well

tripped them up a bit when i started experimenting  jumping between keys sax and guitar while playing and some times at the same time, must be doing something ok , they havent said stop yet

the guys in my original band have been a bit indifferent towards me , it was with them that i crashed and burned when trying to sing. only allowed to join them at special location gigs

Hey Matt, I have messaged your inbox with some great comments about your rhythmic challenges. 

A stroke is basicly a brain haemorage and one thing the brain hates as it alters to many things such as nrve , cant fell or controlo yoyr limbs , and alspo effects the brain to work properly , such as smell and voice , yes can't do either , , sorry about the bad news but we must adapt to it .
