(1) Pitch and Rhythm

There are many basic expression techniques of music, but the most important ones are pitch, rhythm, timbre, speed, intensity, harmony, etc. The most important thing here is pitch and rhythm. It can be said that pitch and rhythm are the foundation of a musical work. If we want to sing a song well, we must sing the pitch accurately and the rhythm steadily. This is the most fundamental and basic content. Without this thing as a guarantee, everything else will be inferior, and there are many reasons for poor pitch or wrong rhythm. I can summarize the following points:

(1) Lack of musical feeling leads to poor pitch Or the rhythm is not grasped well. Music is an auditory art, and art comes with talent and understanding. Since everyone has different sensitivity and abilities to music, there will be differences in everyone’s perception of pitch and rhythm. This exists objectively. Therefore, due to the insufficient ability to distinguish pitch and rhythm, one will not be able to distinguish and feel one's own pitch and rhythm when singing. It should be said that there are still such situations, but not many in 163888. You can try this method: randomly play a melody on an instrument with a fixed pitch and see if you can imitate humming it, or make a rhythm and see if you can beat it better with your palms. This is a way to test your musical literacy. Friends who have this kind of problem should mainly listen to more original works, and carefully analyze the pitch and rhythm of the songs. You can try to listen more and sing along, and gradually reach a state of "keeping the song in mind", the pitch and rhythm It will gradually become more accurate. For friends who have this problem, it requires a lot of patience and effort. But you will find a joy in learning music in the process!

(2) Insufficient singing skills lead to poor control of pitch or rhythm. I have the awareness to distinguish pitch and rhythm, but without more correct technical methods, it will also cause problems such as inaccurate pitch and unstable rhythm. For example, one of my classmates in college is a clear example: he has been learning piano since he was a child, and his piano skills are very good. Generally, people who have played piano since elementary school have better judgment of pitch and rhythm than ordinary people, and in school, his Ear training is also very good (Note: Ear training is a music discipline, mainly training the ear's ability to judge pitch), but his singing is always out of tune, what about Xiami? ! This is because he is not a vocal student, and his singing technique cannot reach a good state. His breath is running around, his voice is straining, and of course his notes are out of rhythm! Therefore, it is not enough to have awareness. Certain singing skills are also required to achieve the "unity of spirit and form." If this is the case, friends should pay attention to training their breath and voice more, so that the pitch and rhythm can meet the standards required in their hearts! In addition to the above two situations, there are also situations where the ear cannot hear the accompaniment due to technical problems during recording, etc. There will also be problems with pitch and rhythm, which will be mentioned in the next article later.
