One of the most common problems plaguing young singers is intonation; that is, the singing off pitch. Voice teachers often remain from comments on pitch because they, like you, would rather spend valuable lesson time working on technique and repertoire; they may also assume that pitch is such a fundamental issue that with time it will take care of itself. Friends who hear your pitch problems want to be polite, and knowing that they are not experts anyway they will not say anything. Besides this, it has been proven that singers themselves–even well-schooled professional performers–cannot always tell whether or not
