ONLINE SINGING SOFTWARE A GREAT TOOL FOR YOUNG SERIOUS SINGERS

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

VOCAL PITCH SOFTWARE: PULLING CLOSET SINGERS OUT OF THE CLOSET

Many people do not want to sing in public because they are too shy or believe they lack talent.  But, as the adage goes, “if you can talk, you can sing!”  Singing is a natural instinct in humans.  Just listen to children: they are constantly humming while they work or play, sometimes mumbling words to their favorite song, sometimes just playing with their voices.  This instinct becomes stifled when people learn that they “cannot sing”–probably after an embarrassing episode brought on by singing a wrong note in elementary school choir.

DO YOU SING ON PITCH? FIND OUT WITH SINGING PITCH SOFTWARE

Do you sing on pitch?  Yes, I am asking you: the professional opera singer, the church or community chorister, the karaoke star, the shower recitalists, the mother who sings a lullaby to her child at night–everyone!  Are you sure you sing on pitch?  How do you really know?  The truth is that your voice, resonating around inside your skull, sounds different to you than it does to those around you and therefore you cannot really know whether or not you sing on pitch unless you have an objective external measuring device like singing pitch software.  Don’t believe it?  Experiments with

HOW TO FIX SINGING ON/OFF PITCH BY LEARNING TO SIGHT-READ

Instrumentalists like to make fun of singers for their lack of musicianship: they often have trouble counting, have trouble finding the correct voice pitch, cannot tell when they are singing on/off pitch, learn their parts on the fly by ear, and many do not even know how to read music!  Nor do they spend nearly as many hours working in the practice room as their fellow instrumentalists.  Singers wish to refute these insults as unfounded stereotypes, but unfortunately the accusations are indeed based on fact.  So, singers must take responsibility if they wish instrumentalists to take them seriously as musicians!

HOW TO IMPROVE VOICE PITCH

How much attention do you give to your singing pitch when you practice?  Most voice students assume they have the basic skill of singing on pitch since they can easily maintain a tune.  However, most young singers are singing off pitch more frequently than they realize.  When rehearsing repertoire it easy to accidentally fall just short of or slightly overshoot a voice pitch unknowingly.  Sometimes a student will hit a vocal pitch incorrectly, but fix it quickly.  If the singer is only singing off pitch infrequently and not for too long, than the problem is not too offensive for the
