Learn To Sing Within Your Range

By Diane C. Kuhn


It is the dream of every singer to sing high notes flawlessly and easily. But singing the higher notes is not an easy task and requires a good professional tutor along with regular practice, breathing and posture exercises as well as warm ups and cool downs. To sing high notes one requires immense dedication and motivation as it's not always possible to hit the high notes in the first go. But it isn't always necessary to go for expensive classes in order to learn how to sing high notes; it can be done at home, through the internet, CD's and e-books as well.

Learn.If you want to learn to sing opera, you're going to need lessons. Most people think this means paying a personal tutor, but the truth is that you can teach yourself if you are dedicated. There are now also a number of online courses that give you structure but aren't as rigid as using a tutor. This is a great cost effective option and perfect for those who want to learn at their own pace. Joining a choir is also an excellent way of helping you to get the practice you need.

Understand the Music.Opera may be seen as more demanding than other kinds of singing, as you'll need to understand certain classical musical terms. Reading music is also especially useful in this area of singing. Make use of online music classes and music theory books to help you understand exactly how you should perform certain pieces.Understand the Language.Yet another barrier when it comes to learning opera is the language. If you want to sign foreign language operas, then it will definitely help to start learning the languages as soon as possible.

The average singer can sing a span of about two octaves, a highly trained professional singer about three, and there are a few extraordinary singers like Mariah Carey and Georgia Brown who can sing comfortably spanning three or four octaves. To my knowledge Georgia Brown in the UK is the only singer who can actually sing a full eight octaves and make a living at it.

Hitting the high notes with ease is important to a singer's development, after all, few people are waiting breathlessly to see if the singer will hit the middle note. But, a singer will do best if he or she were to strive to hit the high notes within their personal vocal range and do it well, rather than to squeak out higher high notes that lie beyond their natural range and execute them poorly.

Singing is a form of recreation and self-expression that a lot of people have learned to love over the years. Music is a great tool that people use to relax and a lot of people have been able to benefit from listening to quality music. There are a number of people who are gifted when it comes to singing because they have the voice that sounds great, but unfortunately it is not found with everyone.

Well, first of all, you must understand that the voice is a natural, acoustic instrument.If you are trying to teach yourself to sing, the likelihood is that you will experiment with a number of these incorrect and potentially harmful methods. You can in fact cause damage to your voice by singing incorrectly over long periods of time.

For many people, learning to sing can be incredibly frustrating. It is rare to find somebody who naturally knows how to sing correctly. It is therefore paramount that you obtain quality, proven teaching materials when you begin so that you set off in the right direction. Undoing bad habits later is difficult to do.

In fact, while learning the fundamentals, you should be prepared for the probability that you may not sing at all. What you will be doing is vocalizing. This entails lots of sounds, (but not necessarily words), and scales as opposed to melodies. Although not as sexy or fun as belting out your favorite song, it is a necessary part of the process to learn in order to train your voice properly.

As a guide, when you start singing you should start by understanding the human anatomy in relation to the singing voice, learn correct breathing techniques and exercises using your diaphragm and the correct production of the vowel sounds. If you don't understand and practice these elements fully and be totally relaxed and confident whilst doing so, it is not a good idea to try and progress any further. You will simply introduce tension into your muscles, start shallow breathing and push and squeeze your voice out. Falling into these traps is not healthy and will not make you a good singer.

One you reach the point where you no longer have to think about singing properly and your body adjusts and naturally performs its necessary functions automatically, you can begin to focus on the fun stuff.Be Persistent.Lastly, it is important to be persistent, and don't give up. It won't always be fun, and at times it may feel like the last thing you want to do, but if you stick with the practice routines, and continue to put in the work, it will pay off. Remember what you are trying to achieve, and try to find the motivation to stay the course and stay focused.Being able to sing well is one of the most rewarding and personally satisfying experiences a music lover can have, and virtually anyone can do it. Just remember, there are no shortcuts to mastering anything. It is a process. Now that you understand the process and know how to learn to sing, the next step is to actually get out there and do it.
