Singing Teaching丨How should a novice learn to sing?

What should beginners learn to sing first?

Many students who are new to singing are relatively blind in the process of learning pop singing. They know that they need to master many vocal methods and techniques, but they don’t know where to start learning, and they don’t have an idea for learning. Clear concept, so next, let’s talk about where should beginners learn to sing?

Special reminder: If you want to learn to sing, you must find a teacher. Whether the teacher teaches face-to-face or the teacher teaches live, you can learn to sing only by teaching by words and deeds.

Online tutorials, that is, screen recordings and short videos, cannot teach you to sing. Because everyone makes different mistakes when learning music. For example, when singing, some people are suitable for singing high notes, and some are only suitable for singing low notes. Fast songs, slow songs...the sense of music is different; music has three elements: pitch, Tone, volume.

Changes in timbre must be taught by words and deeds, the teacher gives personal guidance, pays attention to details and the quality of lessons, and guides students' musical accomplishment, so that there can be qualitative progress.

1. How to practice breathing

Method 1: Relax your body posture naturally, inhale for half a breath first, let the chest naturally stretch, hold for a while:

Then Keep your shoulders still, inhale again and hold for a while. At this time, you can feel the participation of the diaphragm in the breathing process; then exhale half of the breath and hold for a while. At this time, pay attention to keeping the chest and shoulders in the same position as when you just inhaled. state. Inhale quickly and exhale slowly, repeat multiple times as a group, practice 8-10 groups each time.

Method 2: This method is used to experience the feeling of breathing. Lie on your back, relax naturally, and breathe calmly. As long as you are healthy, you can use this method to experience a state of quiet, deep breathing. This method is slightly different from the actual pronunciation

In order to prevent the breathing practice from being monotonous, when using method 1, read some words in a low voice while exhaling, such as: "One, two, three, etc." etc. When practicing in this way, if you put your hands in front of your mouth and you don't feel any obvious airflow, it means that you have mastered the strength and speed of your breathing properly.

2. Practice with vocal music. Use vocal methods to correct language pronunciation errors

Because most incorrect pronunciation methods are caused by improper coordination of breathing and vocal cord closure, the use of vocal training songs allows practitioners to have time during pronunciation. Not only that, by strengthening the vowels, you can also correct and treat some vocal problems caused by poor pronunciation

Use exercises to practice your voice. The active state of each vocal organ during music helps practitioners find the feeling of the sound of the sound, learn how to make the sound sound, and fundamentally solve the problem of volume. Generally speaking, only when the sound reaches the lips. When the length of the snoring pipe reaches 7 inches, it is more suitable to cause the snoring to increase the overtones. This requires that the larynx must be downward to easily form this state.

3. Reading exercises

While practicing voice training with vocal music, it is also necessary to assist with reading exercises. The content of the reading is not limited, first short and then long, first slowly and then fast. First pronounce the words correctly and adjust the sound to your satisfaction, and then consider the words. The connection with the words, and finally, with the support of good breath, practice the beginning, succession, transition, and harmony of the whole chapter with full voice and emotion. It is recommended to practice Xiao Sheng more when practicing the chapter, and wait until the pronunciation and sound parts of Xiao Sheng are adjusted. , increase the breath support and amplify the sound. This is to increase the practice time and avoid premature fatigue.

4. Instructions on practice

A. Teacher. Guidance

Voice training is a very delicate process. In this process, the role of an experienced teacher is irreplaceable. He is the leader of the entire process, and he provides the best guidance for practice. The practitioner chooses the path and progress, and makes judgments and appraisals of each situation of the practitioner. On the road to practicing vocalization, self-study is too difficult and lacks possibility

The B process is relatively long

The improvement of voice quality is definitely not immediate, it will be a process that is not too short. A vocal expert conservatively asserts that it will take about half a year for practitioners to truly master the completely correct breathing method. If you have enough perseverance and persist for two or three months, you will definitely improve.

It is not difficult to sing well, as long as you are willing to spend some time to learn and master some singing skills and tricks. Significant improvements can be seen in a short period of time.
