The short answer is yes, it most definitely can! There are a variety of ways that learning to play a musical instrument can improve your singing, and below, we’ve listed a few reasons how.

Firstly, music is music, no matter the medium or genre. Therefore, musical skills are easily transferable and aren’t exclusive to the instrument family. Things like phrasing and breathing techniques, interpretation and attention to detail are skills that can be used in both instruments and singing.

Also, playing an instrument will help you in further developing your passion for music. Besides acquiring knowledge and skills from learning an instrument, you’ll be able to appreciate music on a deeper level. This results in increased motivation to help you improve your singing skills and connect you with other fellow music lovers.

If you’re a young, aspiring musician, then singing should be strongly considered. Learning singing and an instrument, side by side, comes with a number of huge advantages. Moreover, it gives you experience and expands your already existing knowledge in both areas, allowing you to become an even better musician!

If you plan on writing and producing your own music, being able to play an instrument means that you’ll have a better understanding of chords and melodies. This opens up the exciting world of songwriting.

Most singers find that learning an instrument really does increase their abilities, in the same way musicians find that singing aids their playing abilities.
