The first answer

How to sing well

I think many people have some voice limitations and think that they are not suitable for singing, etc... In fact, the vast majority of people can sing very well. Even if their voices are not good, they can be gradually cultivated through self-training.

In fact, when singing reaches a certain stage, it can be said that gradually Use your voice less. When some people sing, they press their voices with their hands to prevent their voices from rising. This is actually for a reason. But this is not the correct way to sing, because if your voice is lowered and does not rise, you will not be able to sing. Split, but if you press it with your hands, it will have a certain impact on your voice, and it will not have any real effect. It does not mean that you can really sing. But not all songs must be sung with your voice pressed down, such as: For the same song, in the fine-tuned version of a female voice, you have to raise your voice to sing so finely.

Anyone who can sing knows that singing requires using your breath, and how you use your breath determines the quality of your singing. The key point is, where does Qi come from? How to practice Qi? In fact, Qi comes from the Dantian, and when you lift Qi and rush up, your throat is just passing the sound, not shouting with your throat, so the usage rate of your throat must be There are fewer people than those who can't sing. After the breath passes from the throat, it rushes into the forehead, the forehead and the back of the head, and the nose vibrates, thereby achieving real singing. The size of the nasal sound can be adjusted by itself. But the *** on the forehead The vibration is very loud. If it reaches a certain stage, your forehead will hurt after singing for a long time. However, the inhalation does not need to be very rapid, just like smelling the fragrance of flowers, inhale gently and evenly.

As for Dantian Qi, there are actually many ways to exercise it, such as practicing martial arts. You can sing non-stop every day, or you can shout like a madman every day. But what I have here is a kind of training that no one has heard of. Qi method, use a pillow (filled with sand) and put it on your belly, lie down and practice your voice, sing, etc... Soon you will gradually feel the Qi in your Dantian.

The same is true below. An important common sense is that you must open your voice before singing. The so-called opening of your voice means shouting, or raising your voice like learning vocal music, that is, from low to high notes...rising and falling... Only after you open your voice can your voice reach the desired tone. A better state, otherwise sometimes you will feel like you can't sing.

The so-called using your voice less does not mean not using your voice, but using your voice skillfully. If you use your voice skillfully, you can even imitate the voices of N people , just like Wu Kequn, but to be honest, maybe the live version is not that special, because everyone’s voice has limitations, and they cannot achieve the same tone as others. That kind of singers in many places are You can sing any song, and it will all look the same. But in fact, this is not good. Everyone has to have his own style. And imitating others will hurt your own style at the same time, so you must stick to your own style.

When I was learning to sing

I learned a method of producing sounds

The voice is innate, but the singing skills are acquired

So, the voice is not practiced

Let me tell you how to make it better for you

************************ *******************

First, exhale all the air in your lungs, and exhale cleanly

Then, hold your breath Breathe and press your hands on your lower abdomen, which is often called Dantian

Force the Dantian to bulge up, and your hands should react on Shantian, and use force

When the Dantian is inflated, Gradually exert force, don't puff up all at once

It takes about five seconds from the beginning to the maximum exertion

Then when it reaches the strongest point, it lasts for five seconds

Finally, relax gradually, not all at once, for about five seconds

Be careful not to breathe during the entire process.

This is a cycle, practice like this every day for two hours, for half a year

Your singing skills will definitely be very strong, but don’t stop in the middle, especially in the first week. Seven days, you must persevere

If you really have the perseverance, try it

The second answer

Practice your lung capacity, swim more, and running! Watch more music videos, look at the mouth patterns of other singers when they sing, and imitate them! Sing more and practice more

It is best to find a professional teacher to guide you so that you will not go astray or damage your vocal cords. Be careful not to use your vocal cords too much when singing, but let your vocal cords The sound can be transmitted far and steady. Pay attention to the use of breath, otherwise it will cause cocoons on the vocal cords

Singing is an art. In order to improve children's ability to express songs, they should be given training in singing skills and the content of the training. Including: singing posture, breathing, vocalization and articulation and other aspects of the requirements.

1. Singing posture

Correct singing posture is not only a manifestation of the singer's good mentality, but also related to the use of breath, the regulation of the cries and singing During training, students should develop good singing habits, so that their eyes are level and focused, the mandible is retracted, the neck is straight and not tense, the spine is straight, the lower abdomen is slightly retracted, and the waist is stable.

2. Breathing during singing

The first is to inhale. When doing breathing exercises, first establish the correct singing posture, keep your waist straight, your chest and shoulders loose, and your head Look freely, look into the distance, the expression from the heart to the face is full of affection, and then "sigh happily" to relax the chest. When inhaling, open the mouth slightly, lift the hard and soft palate, and cooperate with the eyebrow raising movement, it is very With excitement, focus on the lower back, relax the waistline outward, and let the Qi "flow in" naturally and smoothly, so that the waist and back have a "Qi feeling", and the chest will naturally feel wider. For example, use " Yawn" to feel the above movements.

But do not exhale too deeply, otherwise the chest and abdomen will become stiff, affecting the flexibility of the voice and the accuracy of the pitch. Do not make a sound when inhaling, otherwise it will not only affect the artistic effect of singing, but also make the It is not easy to inhale deeply, which affects the support of the breath. Therefore, in daily life, you should develop the habit of expanding your ribs and slightly contracting your lower abdomen.

3. Vocal practice is a comprehensive basic skill training in singing and singing. Learning to sing must start with the most basic vocal exercises.

1. Do exercises to obtain the breath fulcrum, experience the coordination of inhalation and sound, and use scientific humming methods to experience and adjust your own singing voice.

2. Learn to sing with your mouth open, your upper and lower teeth loosened, and you will have a "feeling like your jaw is falling off" with the tip of your tongue loosely pressed against the lower teeth.

3. When singing octaves, from low to high, the vowels should be sung together without breaking, and the oropharyngeal cavity should be opened from small to large at the same time.

4. Cooperate with smooth breathing to produce a round, smooth and free sound.

4. Articulation and enunciation are accurate and clear

The purpose of pronunciation practice is to sing songs more perfectly, so we must pay attention to the articulation and enunciation of words clearly and correctly master them. The echo of language clarifies the structural rules of Chinese character language, and combines song melodies with articulation and pronunciation practice. When practicing singing, recite each word several times according to the pronunciation method of pronunciation to bring out the rhyme, and then combine the pronunciation exercises to use the words to bring out the sounds, and strive to achieve a clear and round pronunciation of the words, a rich and emotional tone, and a clear and original sound when singing. The focus point of the sound should be as close as possible to the concentrated point of the sound area, so that the sounds of the three sound areas can be connected and flexibly adjusted.

The art of singing is an art that combines sound and literature. When we sing a good song, we can’t just focus on the sound and not the emotion, or vice versa. We should deal with the ideological content and expression techniques of the song, as well as the songwriter and the song. We need to have a comprehensive understanding and analysis of the background of the era, and then perform appropriate processing to accurately and completely reproduce the artistic image of the song, so as to achieve the goal of bringing out the sound with emotion and both sound and emotion.

How to sing high notes

1. Human singing instinct

Have you heard the sad song of the blind girl on a rainy night, right? Have you ever heard of a happy folk song duet between a man and a woman? These people have never had any vocal training, but their singing will also move you because they give full play to their natural singing instinct. Regarding the issues of breathing, vocalization, vocalization, and high pitch that I talked about earlier, everything cannot escape natural conditions, and all physical conditions are produced according to nature. Unfortunately, we often abandon this natural condition and work hard to find some "shortcuts" and "secrets". That is a very sad thing.

When a singer sings, although the role of the larynx is unique, mental effort can also influence it. When singing, the movements of the larynx are completely spontaneous. When the singer sings, whatever note he wants to sing, the tension and frequency of oscillations of his vocal cords will completely match his thoughts. Of course, when making sounds, you also need to use rapid force such as the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, ribs, mouthpiece, etc. A newborn baby doesn't know these things at all, but it can use those powers very well. When he cries, he cries sadly; when he laughs, he makes a sweet note. This proves that life has a natural ability to use our voices freely and expressively.

2. Shout the high note first

When we do any kind of sport, such as shot put, we must first have the strength to lift the shot put. In order to increase the strength of their hands and feet, people who practice martial arts first practice water-carrying. Only when their hands and feet have strength can they not lose their hands and fly away when dancing with the sword.

Our vocal cords must be able to withstand the high pressure sent from below in order to be able to pronounce words. Someone asked, if the vocal cords produce sound under high pressure, will shouting occur? Will shouting break the vocal cords? No, as long as you maintain correct breathing and singing posture, you won't cry out. As for the position and covering of the high note, how can you determine the position of the high note before you shout it?

We start from the bottom and go up semitones, until #f2, g2, #g2, five tones form a group. Don't shout too much at first, because your breathing and singing posture may not be right at first. You need to correct it while singing. When everything is coordinated, you might as well shout more. After #g2 is finished, a2 is another way of breathing. We know that when singing high notes, we need to press the breath up with high pressure. In fact, we need to use the breath from the waist at this time (see the next section). After shouting a2 with the breath from the waist, use the same breath to shout b2 flat. .

Generally speaking, people who sing high notes are born with high notes, but we just don’t use them. A girl who has never received vocal training can usually only sing up to f2, but when she suddenly encounters a scary thing, she can't help but scream, and this scream may reach f3 in high C, but Normally she would not make such a high pitch. So don't worry, shout out the high notes boldly, shouting more is beneficial.

3. Breathing and posture

If we have the opportunity to scream when we encounter something very surprising, we must remember the screaming posture and use it again. Sing high notes, that's right.

Singing high notes is different from singing low notes. It involves pressing the air into a thin line and impacting the vocal cords. When the strength of the diaphragm has reached its peak and cannot be pressurized, waist strength must be used. As mentioned before, the lung lobes are larger than the lung apex, that is, the lower part is larger than the upper part, and the upper lung apex is expanded outward by the ribs. To use waist strength, first put your hands on your hips (you don’t have to pay attention to your abdominal muscles at this time, they will work naturally when you inhale), inhale the air around the waist, feel the front and rear waist expand, and then close the air in (Open your mouth wide, see Figure 7), pull your waist and ribs inward, and push your chest upwards. You will feel the pressure pressing on the upper jaw. This is the method of using waist strength.

As mentioned before, for f2--#g2, we use the contraction of the abdominal muscles to increase the pressure. When we reach a2, we use waist strength. When we reach b2, we only need a small amount of air (but use high pressure (gas), just open your upper lip as if yawning, expose a little of the upper teeth, and place the tip of your tongue flat on the lower teeth, then you can sing b2 flat.

From a note above b2 flat to a note above high C, the method is the same as b2 flat.

Here is another example to illustrate how to use your waist strength to sing high notes.

Using the strength of the waist to sing high notes is equivalent to filling a long balloon with air, then pinching the lower half with your hands, and the upper half will swell up, which is like a diaphragm. It has risen to the top and cannot rise any further. We inhale the waist full of air, then draw the entire waist and the open ribs below inward, and push out the chest, just like pinching a balloon with your hands, creating a strong, rising airflow, and this is It’s what we use to sing high notes.

4. Close and cover up

When I was learning to sing, when I sang high notes, I had to close! It was really "like being in a fog" at that time. And this word is still used by people in China. Because of the confusion about the true meaning of Close, many tenors have been harmed and many good voices have been ruined.

My opinion on Close is: close the ringing box below and open the ringing box above. When we sing high notes, we need to make a sound in the head cavity, so we have to raise the soft cover. The purpose of opening the upper lip is to raise the soft lid, and at the same time, use waist strength to push open the soft lid. As for the term "covering" used by some people in China today, I think it is better. It means that the high notes should not be too white, but should be somewhat covered, as if there is a bowl covering the high notes.

I have asked many teachers for advice on the explanation of Close, but I have not been able to get any results. Later I went to Italy and asked a teacher for advice. The answer was: We in Italy have never heard of this word. Let me ask you: How to sing when it is "closed"? As for today we use "cover" instead of "close" to explain Close, that is very wise. When we sing high notes, our upper jaw lifts up, the soft lid rises (yawn-like), and the air pressure squeezes upward and gathers on top, forming a domed space like a church, which means that the space is filled with gas. In this way, beautiful high notes will be emitted. If the top is not opened and the air cannot go up, how can there be high sound? Therefore, using "cover" also means that the sound is concentrated upward. We can do another experiment to find this feeling: when we yawn, we will feel a cool feeling on the upper palate (which we cannot usually feel), that is, there is a space above and the breath is entering.

5. The higher it is, the easier it is

When we reach b2, it should be said that we have broken through the difficulty of high notes and can easily sing b2, c3, #c3, d3, because the method of singing these notes is no different from the method of singing b2 flat. When singing b2 flat, the throat is already open relatively small, because the wider the mouth is, the smaller the throat becomes. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of higher notes. What is needed is rapid air to support the high notes, and rapid air depends on normal breathing. Earned through hard breathing practice.

6. Fulcrum and Confrontation

For example, if we lift a stone burden with both hands, our feet will step down, and the earth will hold it up; our hands will Pushing up, the stone burden is pushing down. So, there are four directions of force here. There is a confrontation between the feet and the ground, and there is a confrontation between the hands and the stone load. Our human body is equal to the air column, and the lower abdomen and vocal cords are the two fulcrums of breath. The breath goes up and is blocked by the vocal cords. There is also a problem of "force" confrontation here. So, does the fulcrum of the lower abdomen change during singing? If there is a change, is it upward or downward? There is debate on this issue.

When singing, the breath keeps flowing out, and the air column becomes shorter and shorter. At the same time, the lower abdomen also draws in to help compress the air in the lungs and produce a certain flow of air to be exhaled. Under such circumstances, how is it possible to always place the "fulcrum" in a fixed place without moving upward with the use of breath? But we must not forget that although the "fulcrum" continues to move upward as the breath is exhaled, the downward pressure must still be maintained.

Just imagine, if we want to get something from a high place and we extend our hands but still can't reach it, then we have to put a box under our feet. If we still can't reach it, we can only add another box. In this way, won't the "fulcrum" increase? Already? How could it stop and not move?

I heard a soprano soloist in Singapore. She was touring various countries on behalf of Canada. But when she sang high notes, her neck stretched out, which made people uncomfortable. It turns out that she specializes in singing German Lied. The German singing method advocates that the "fulcrum" is always in the abdomen. How can the sound tube be stretched so long when singing high notes?

Let’s look at the principle of the pump mentioned earlier. The piston handle is constantly pushed upward, and the piston also gradually goes up to maintain the barrel body. pressure, and the breath is ejected from the mouth of the tube. If we compare pumping with a pump to the singing activity of the human body, that is to say, the distance between the diaphragm and the vocal cords is getting shorter and shorter, so the fulcrum gradually changes its position. How can it always stay in a fixed place?

7. Use tools to test

Use a wooden board with a length slightly wider than our shoulders and a width slightly wider than the length of our shoes. Punch a hole in the four corners and thread two ropes through it. After passing through the hole, the length of the rope is even with our hanging fingers (see Figure 8). We stand on the board, take a breath, then hold it shut, open our mouths wide and pull the rope hard, and we can feel what confrontation is. At this time, our feet increase the confrontation with the ground, and at the same time reduce the confrontation between the breath in the body and the vocal cords, so that the high notes can come out more easily. We can also use Coca-Cola's empty aluminum cylinder (empty beer cylinder), cut it into aluminum sheets the size of stamps, and put the two aluminum sheets together (bend the aluminum sheets slightly with your hands), so that among the combined aluminum sheets There is a seam. Then clip an old silk cloth to one end of the aluminum sheet (it can be folded as wide as three matches), and then tie the aluminum sheet with wire to make a whistle. Try playing a bass and then a treble. From this comparison, you can feel the breath and posture of singing high notes

How to sing

1. Breath

When talking about this topic, I feel a little confused, because it is the hardest thing to express in words. Before I started singing, I practiced bel canto for two years, which gave me a deep understanding. The basics of breath helped me a lot. Generally speaking, people who have never learned vocal music have a very flat voice, and they pronounce it in the position where they usually speak (throat). We call it "white" sound, without color or filter. Below I will describe the method of practicing bel canto.

The sound should originate from the lower abdomen. Imagine that the sound passes through the back of the spine, to the back of the head, and to the back of the mouth. The entire sound should be upright and backward. Please look for this feeling: you take a big bite of an apple, expose your upper teeth, and make a "hmm" sound while biting it down. Feel the sound at the back of the mouth and the upper part of the nasal cavity. This is one of the bel canto sounds. ***Ming point. Next, lower your breath, expand your lower abdomen, press your lower abdomen slightly, and speak at the same position. For male voices, press the Adam's apple. For female voices, focus on the position of the voice at the back of the head. You will find that the sound is louder than before. Regular practice against the wall will help your voice, because leaning against the wall can contact your back spine, making it easier for you to find the feeling, and the sound of the chest can vibrate with the wall, making it easier for you to find the chest. *Ming feeling. Start with the practice of "Mi~Ma" and gradually increase it, which will help you practice high-pitched breath; then practice from high to low, repeat this way, and one day you will find the feeling. Bel Canto pays attention to "transparency", and often imagines that one's voice is upright, not flat; another thing that pays attention to is "sound". After the sound passes through the chest or the chest above the chest, it will be very round and round. full. To experience the humming sound, you can do this: close your mouth and make a "hmm" sound with a slightly affectionate feeling. If the "hmm" is longer, you will feel your head and chest vibrating. If your breath is good, This kind of ringing sound will add a lot of color to your voice. If you listen carefully to the speeches of some tall Americans, you will know what chest ringing is (the chest structure of foreigners is more likely to produce chest ringing).

Another thing I want to mention is lung capacity. Singers need a large lung capacity to sing, such as some very long and breathless melodies. Don't end up with red faces and heavy breathing after singing.

Lung capacity requires regular exercise to maintain. In addition, mastering certain skills can make up for some lack of lung capacity. First of all, you need to practice your breath. A good vocal method can control the flow of sound through the voice. For example, when singing the sentence "...I'm not afraid of you betraying me...", a singer with unstable breath may suddenly say "Afraid" "The sound of the word was sung in an explosive way, and the air that was originally insufficient in the lungs was released immediately. It would be weird if there was a long sentence without breathing after it that didn't suffocate him to death. Singers with good breath skills can control the flow of these pops, and there will be no flapping sounds in the microphone when singing. So I suggest you put a candle in front of your mouth when practicing your voice, and try to keep the candle from shaking while practicing! This way your Qi will remain in your body for a longer period of time. Think about it, do you hold it in for a long time by exhaling all the time, or do you hold it in and hold it in for a long time? Of course, this also requires the singer to relax and not be nervous. When you are nervous, your heart will beat faster and your breath will be even more unstable

I can only say so much here, these are all based on perception. However, I would like to remind you that voice training is the basis for singing pop songs. Do not use voice training methods to perform pop songs directly. That will be too artificial, and you will be like Yan Weiwen singing "nothing".

As for the use of voice in popular songs, my point of view is that as long as it fits the artistic conception of the song, it is okay to shout or break, but these are absolutely prohibited in bel canto, so we have to learn from each other's strengths, because we are not for We practice bel canto to sing bel canto. We practice bel canto in order to sing popular songs well, just like martial arts requires practicing horse stance. Have you ever seen someone squatting on horse stance during a fight?

Some friends said that this kind of expression is difficult to understand. If you want me to tell you who among the pop singers has a clear breath, it is easier to understand based on your feelings. This is also an effective method. Personally, I think that female singers should listen more to "Zhang Huimei", she has a naturally transparent breath; male singers should listen more to "Man Wenjun", he really relies on breath to sing. In addition, Jacky Cheung The breath is very good, but for teaching, Man Wenjun is more suitable

2. Treble

This is a question that friends like to ask the most. In their words, because the treble is "enough" "Pull", haha! Let me add again, good singing needs to take into account many aspects. It cannot be said that the higher the treble, the better the singing. Indeed, good treble can add power to the climax of the song, but I advise friends not to only know the value of treble and ignore the mid-bass. In fact, the full mid-bass is also very contagious

Sing high notes When speaking, the breath must be based on the lower abdomen and Dantian. The "Dantian Qi" in Beijing accent also refers to this sounding position.

Looking for Feelings 1: If you were a girl and suddenly there was a mouse on your shoes, what would you do? It is estimated that there will be a long "ah~" sound, and there will also be a "false voice" sound position. After you calm down, if you "Ah~" you look at it for a moment, most of the time you won't be able to "Ah" again. Why? Because the moment you receive a fright, your lower abdomen is tense (think about the feeling of being frightened, are your muscles all over the body tense?). Because of this foundation and a strong airflow (understandable) It smells like singing), it goes straight to the throat, it's strange that the voice is not high. Therefore, you can interpret the feeling of hitting a high note as "tension" and "invigoration". Remember, everything is based on the lower abdomen. To sing a high note, you don't have to raise your head and pull it up. It is a kind of rebound force that feels the center of gravity downward.

Feeling 2: Have you ever seen a rubber water pipe? What should I do if I want the water in the water pipe to surge further? Tighten the front end of the water pipe. If the gap is small, the pressure will increase and the water will rush farther. In fact, high notes do not necessarily have to be very loud. Some singers sing very loudly when they sing high notes. We say that they are singing with strength and lung capacity, not with breath and skills. If you imagine the faucet theory, you should be able to understand some truth.

Look for the feeling 3: There is a big stone on the ground, lift it up. You bend down and count in your mouth: "One, two, three, go..." I think you must have used your breath for the word "go". I won’t say more, just feel it, there is something heavy around you... Haha! These are just some methods I created to let you feel the breath. They are informal, but very effective.

I would also like to tell you that the ability to express high notes is related to the condition of your own voice. If you have a naturally high voice, it is a great advantage. For example, "Sun Nan" has a typical high voice, and the performance of high notes will not be so strenuous. . Singers with poor voice conditions must rely on a lot of breath and methods, but no matter whether the voice condition is good or not, the sound is sung through breath, just like a cigarette passing through a filter, and the sound will be more beautiful if it is filtered.

In addition, I also tell you a psychological method. When singing high notes, imagine that you are singing in front of the vast sea, and you can't see the sea and sky. Isn't this scenery worth shouting out?

3. Methods of exercising vital capacity

There are many reasons for the decline in vital capacity test values ??year after year. The main reasons are: lack of effective physical exercise methods and insufficient physical exercise. time. There are many ways to exercise lung capacity. Here are three briefly introduced.

Method 1: Regularly do some freehand exercises such as chest expansion and arm raising.

Method 2: When practicing endurance running, pay attention to regularity, coordination of running and breathing, appropriate distance, and moderate intensity.

Method 3: Practice diving or swimming. In the water, not only do you have to keep moving your arms, but you also have to overcome the resistance of the water and breathe. This is a good way to improve your lung capacity.

There are many other ways to exercise to increase lung capacity: playing football, basketball, running back and forth, etc. It should be noted that no matter which method you choose, you must practice it regularly to be effective.

The mechanism of the above exercises is to increase the strength of respiratory muscles, improve the elasticity of the lungs, increase and deepen the depth of breathing, enhance and improve the efficiency and function of lung breathing, thereby improving the vital capacity detection value. purpose.

The third type

Singing recording is a comprehensive thing that integrates singing art and computer software and hardware audio technology. Therefore, in order to make your singing sound better, you must first have a lot of skills. Good singing ability and musical accomplishment as well as necessary voice conditions, and secondly, considerable computer technical knowledge and sound control capabilities. How to make your singing wonderful and the recorded sound great, this is a question that many friends, especially those who don’t know much about recording, are eager to know. Due to work reasons, I haven't had time to discuss this issue with you all. I write these things today in the hope that I can share some of my feelings about singing with my friends, and discuss this issue with you based on the vocal music expertise I studied at university.

The first part will talk about singing technology, the second part will talk about recording technology, and the third part will talk about singing awareness, musicality and common maintenance knowledge. Everyone is welcome to discuss and make corrections!

In the first part, let’s talk about singing technology first. The first thing to point out is that no matter how sophisticated your equipment is or how high your technical level is, it cannot replace flexible and highly elastic singing technology. If you want your work to impress others, singing technique is crucial.

A Singing technology:

(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 it as follows:

(1) Lack of musical feeling leads to 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 ability to music, there will be differences in everyone's perception of pitch and rhythm. This exists objectively. Therefore, due to 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 play 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, inaccurate pitch and unstable rhythm will also occur. 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 skills are not in a good state. His breath is running around, his voice is straining, and of course his music is out of tune and rhythmic! 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 accompaniment cannot be heard 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.

(2) Singing technology processing

(A) Breathing and breath

Everyone who has studied physics knows that the physical cause of sound is the impact of external factors on objects , the object vibrates to produce sound waves of different lengths, and the sound waves cause the surrounding air to vibrate to produce sound. Therefore, the source of power for singing is breathing. Good use of breath can make better use of the physical properties of the vocal cords, thus singing well and completely. songs. Therefore, the use of breath is one of the very important techniques of singing. Several breathing methods are named with popular words)

1. Sighing inhalation:

As we all know, sighing is a very common phenomenon in daily life. It is a way to relax. is also downward. It helps relax the inspiratory muscle groups so that you can inhale better. The specific method is to sigh first and then inhale. Your main thought is to sigh, not to inhale.
