Singing helps you develop musical thought, and musical thought is essential for beautiful playing. You should always be singing while you play, at least in your head. I forgot to mention in the video that if you are struggling to focus while you play (especially if you are having memory slips), make sure the singing voice in your head drowns out the self-doubting and/or “What should I make for dinner?” voice.
