The truth is that learning to sing in tune and on pitch is the first step in a singer's journey. So, if you've been having a hard time singing on pitch, get started here.
First, we need to discuss what pitch is. Pitch is the tone or the note that you're singing. Pitch is created by the vocal cords vibrating together. The faster the vocal cords vibrate the higher the pitch that you hear.
The slower the vocal cords vibrate lower the note that you're going to hear. How do the vocal cords change the speed that they're vibrating? By stretching or slackening the length of the chords. Basically, if the vocal cords are longer, then they will vibrate faster just like a rubber bands. Or, if the vocal cords are very slack, they will vibrate slower with a low note.
Now that you understand pitch, it's important that you realize that everyone sings off pitch sometimes. Even phenomenal singers like Freddie Mercury sometimes sing off pitch. But the most important thing is that you're able to correct it.
In my experience, there are three main reasons that a singer will be off pitch. The first reason that a singer may not be on pitch is that they need to train their ear. It simply means that they need to coordinate what they hear in their head with what they sing. The second reason some singers may not sing on pitch is that they need to coordinate their voice. In other words, since they haven't done a lot of singing, they just haven't experienced all the different parts of their voice yet. The third reason that someone may not sing on pitch is because they need to work on both their ear training and their coordination.
Luckily, learning to coordinate your singing tone is easy with the right exercises. In fact, many singers may have a great ear, but their voice just isn't coordinated correctly yet. So if you haven't learned to sing in tune, try these exercises.
In his first exercise, I'll show you to sing a five tone scale on solfeggio. Basically, you sing each note of a 5-tone scale on the words, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So and back down.
In the second exercise, I'll help you if you tend to sing a little bit flat. If you tend to sing flat, it's really important to stay on longer scales. In this exercise, you will sing an octave and a half scale on the word ghee as in peace.
In our final exercise, you'll sing a 5-tone scale where you sing each note of the five tone scale on the word gug as in gutter. Don't worry if that you're having a hard time learning to sing on pitch. Learning to sing in tune takes a little bit of time and the most important thing is that you continue working on it.
