Gabriel Weiner’s book “How To Sing Without Thinking” offers a unique approach to singing by encouraging singers to open themselves up to inspiration and rediscover their natural abilities. The book argues that singing is not an extension of speaking, but rather the foundation for spoken language. Weiner believes that anyone who can cry, laugh, and speak can also sing, as singing is simply the combination of our primal ability to express ourselves emotionally with our learned ability to communicate through speech.

The book is not intended to be a traditional singing textbook, but rather a collection of insights, observations, and reminders that can help singers of all levels improve their craft. Weiner’s approach emphasizes self-discovery, trust, and dedication, and his goal is to help singers cultivate their unique talents and voices.
