To learn vocal music well, you must have certain conditions, that is, you must have good musical quality, master the corresponding basic knowledge and skills of music, and have good voice conditions.
1. Musical quality
Musical quality refers to people's keen hearing, distinct sense of rhythm and good musical feeling in music, which is what we often call intonation, rhythm and musical sense. A person's music quality has innate factors and acquired cultivation, and acquired factors are the main ones. People who have a keen sense of pitch, rhythm and sense of music have the quality conditions for learning music.
2. Basic knowledge and skills of music
People with musical qualities must learn basic skills and knowledge of music, including solfeggio, knowledge of music theory and basics of keyboard and musical instruments.
Solfeggio is the basis of learning music. In order to accurately distinguish and solfeggio scales, intervals, rhythms and melodies, you must learn solfeggio.
Music theory is also the basis of learning music. Only by learning the corresponding knowledge of music theory can you sing accurately and well.
Keyboard musical instrument foundation: The study of keyboard musical instrument and music theory knowledge complement each other. Only when you have a certain keyboard foundation can you practice listening and solfeggio. And vocal exercises are inseparable from keyboard instruments.
3. Vocal conditions:
It is generally believed that learning to sing must have a natural good voice, which is both correct and one-sided. A natural and beautiful voice is a favorable condition for learning to sing, but having a good voice may not necessarily help you learn vocal music well, and many successful singers do not show their natural and beautiful voices before training.
The physiological conditions of singing and speaking are exactly the same, but the artistic characteristics of singing can't be reflected if singing is carried out completely in the state of speaking. Because pronunciation is a subconscious "natural" pronunciation, and singing is a conscious "unnatural" pronunciation, using scientific vocal methods to consciously exercise the vocal organs can achieve a conscious and freely controlled state of singing. Therefore, anyone who can talk can learn to sing as long as he has a certain musical quality.
Second, how to learn vocal music
Learning should include two aspects: learning singing skills and basic theoretical knowledge of vocal music.
1. Learning the basic theory of vocal music
To have a certain singing ability, we must first understand the physiological mechanism of vocalization, such as understanding the structure of singing organs, the simple principle of vocalization, the principle of * * * vocalization, the division of * * * vocalization cavity, the application of * * * vocalization cavity and the relationship between vocal areas, and using the method of * * * vocalization.
In addition, in the training of singing skills, we must master the breathing method, the use of breathing, the fulcrum of breathing and the common breathing practice methods. Learn to recognize the nature of voice, the division of voice parts, and understand the characteristics of bel canto, nationality, popular singing and the health care of voice.
Learning and understanding the theoretical basis of vocal music can help you practice without blindness and with clear goals. In addition, looking at other people's vocal works, videos, televisions, recordings, etc. will bring great inspiration to yourself, which will be of great benefit to singing practice and make you less detours.
2. Learning from vocal music teachers
Singing is a highly technical and practical subject, and it is very difficult to learn and train vocal music only based on the written materials of vocal music theory and teaching. Because it is difficult for words to accurately express the connotation of singing skills, and the differences in personal physiological conditions, understanding and comprehension ability increase the difficulty of learning by written materials. Practicing vocalization and singing according to the method mentioned in the book, the practitioner himself can't judge the accuracy of the method and whether the sound effect is correct or not. Such practice is not only ineffective, but also likely to lead to wrong singing pronunciation. Therefore, when learning to sing, especially in the beginner stage, you must find an experienced vocal music teacher to guide you, practice according to the teacher's method, and tell the teacher truthfully your experience, difficulties, gains and feelings in your practice, so that the teacher can teach students the practice methods with high accuracy and quick results according to your personal characteristics. When studying, you should pay attention to using your brain more and your voice less.
Third, the content of singing training
Vocal music training has a complete, scientific and systematic training method. It includes:
1. Breathing training
Singing breath is the driving force of vocalization and the foundation of singing. Without good breathing methods to control and use breath, there can be no beautiful and pleasant singing. All sound performance skills are closely related to breathing. Clark argued in On Breathing that the first thing for a singer is to learn proper breathing. In his Physiology of Laryngeal Throat, Plymouth believes that breathing is the vitality of sound. Chinese traditional vocal music works say: "those who are angry are also teachers of sound." Weak qi leads to thin sound, turbid qi leads to sluggish sound, and scattered qi leads to exhausted sound. " It also shows that singers at home and abroad attach great importance to the important role of breathing in singing.

To learn breathing, you must first understand the method of breathing. There are three ways to breathe:
(1) Upper chest breathing. This kind of breathing is a way to control breathing with the upper chest. Its inspiratory volume is small and shallow, only reaching the upper part of the lung, which is easy to cause the tension of the muscles around the throat and neck, and makes a tight, dry and inelastic straight sound. This kind of phenomenon is more common among beginners, especially amateur singers. This is a bad breathing method that needs to be corrected.
(2) Abdominal breathing. This kind of breathing is a breathing method that relies on the expansion of soft ribs and the swelling and contraction of the lower abdomen. It inhales deeper than the upper chest style, but it also has its limitations. Because of the deep inhalation, the breath is often not smooth, which affects the vocal parts, the tone color in the middle and low voice areas is dull, the voice lacks flexibility, and the sound is low.
(3) Thoracoabdominal combined breathing. This kind of breathing is a kind of breathing method that uses the chest, diaphragm, ribs and abdominal muscles to control breath. This breathing method is a scientific and physiological breathing method recognized and widely adopted by modern Chinese and foreign vocal music circles. This breathing method has many advantages. It has a strong ability to control breath, exhales evenly and moderately, can store more breath, has obvious respiratory fulcrum, enlarges the vocal range, and harmonizes the high, middle and low vocal areas.
It's not enough to know the breathing method, but it needs long-term persistent practice to be able to use it freely when singing. There are two common practice methods now.
Breathe fast and breathe slowly: This breathing method is the most commonly used when singing. You should practice often. The specific method is: inhale quickly, pause slightly, and exhale slowly. You can understand it this way: imagine a long-lost friend suddenly appearing in front of you, and you gasped in surprise and almost cried out, stopping in this state. After a few seconds, it seems that there is an external force pushing back the lower abdomen, and I feel that the lower abdomen is slowly exhaling in the confrontation with this external force. At this time, the diaphragm plays a powerful supporting role.
breathe slowly and breathe slowly: breathe in the air slowly, pause for a while, and then exhale slowly. It can be understood that when you receive a bouquet of your favorite flowers, you are happy to smell the fragrance of the flowers. At this time, you will find that your chest naturally rises forward and upward instead of artificially, while the rib muscles, including the waist, expand around at the same time, keeping this state, only relaxing and exhaling the muscles below the abdominal diaphragm. When you breathe, you think of blowing candles, blowing down the burning candlelight, but not blowing it out. In this way, keep the candlelight from rising or going out, keep it for a long time, and then take a breath. To achieve this requirement, inhaling must be as natural, calm and soft as smelling flowers. When exhaling, you must be even and temperate. Similarly, if you want to practice breathing slowly and breathing quickly, you should take a slow breath and blow out the candle at once.
2. Vocal exercises
Vocal exercises are the most basic and simple exercises for training vocal skills. In fact, it is to practice the most basic and simple motivation or phrase that constitutes the melody of a song with simple vowels or syllables, and practice singing repeatedly by moving up or down semitone in an appropriate range. There are various methods and steps to practice vocalization, and there are many factions. However, no matter what methods and steps are adopted, the following goals are achieved:
(1) Consciously use breath to make sounds, and gradually control breathing through the diaphragm.
(2) form the correct position of the larynx, liberate the larynx, stabilize the laryngeal organs, make the vocal cord movement closely cooperate with breathing, and adjust it appropriately, so that it has ideal sound effect when singing notes with different strengths, such as high, middle, low and strong.
(3) Train the method of adjusting the vocal cavity, and appropriately expand the vocal organs with adjustable shapes-pharyngeal cavity, oral cavity and laryngeal cavity. The head cavity and chest cavity, which can not be adjusted in shape, are used to increase the volume and beautify the timbre through the adjustment and application of the cavity.
(4) Breathing, larynx (vocal cords) and vocal organs work closely together to produce sound in a coordinated way, so as to achieve the unity of vocal areas and be rich in strength and timbre changes.
In addition, you should choose an appropriate vowel when practicing vocalization. At the beginning of vocal practice, not everyone can sing well in a balanced way among the six vowels of a e i o u u With the help of the teacher, it is necessary to start practicing from the vowels with the most natural and beautiful pronunciation. In this way, it is easier to adjust the focus of vowels and coordinate the role of sound waves in the * * * buzzer. After practicing the most convenient and natural vowels, gradually adjust and drive other vowels, and the progress of vocal practice will be much faster.
Vocalization practice is based on natural sound area at first, and gradually broadens to the range of middle sound area. On the basis of practicing the midrange, we should further expand the range to achieve the sound characteristics and range that the voice should have.
3. Singing language
29-1-8 17:28 Reply qxgsf 2 fans Singing language on the third floor is an important part of vocal training.
Singing is a form of musical expression that combines musicalized human voice with language to further express ideas. Singing language can directly reveal the literary content and ideological content of songs, highlight the style of works, and directly display the images and artistic conception of songs.
The general requirements of singing language are: accurate and dexterous initials, well-maintained vowel form, natural and timely return to rhyme, and good memory of yin and yang. Priorities must be clearly defined, and the tone and situation should be handled well.
you must bite the prefix correctly, but you can't bite it to death. When the prefix is bitten, it should naturally and timely transition to the belly. After the words are spit out, we should stop the sound and rhyme in time, and we must pay attention to the connection of the three, so that the transition is natural and smooth and become a whole. In addition, pinyin should be sung accurately, such as "L" and "N", "flat tongue" and "upturned tongue", "F" and "H", "front nasal rhyme" and "back nasal rhyme" should be distinguished and the tone should be accurate.
Singing language must be closely integrated with breathing, vocalization and singing. Singing language must be coordinated with flexible breathing and smooth voice, in order to receive a vivid and touching effect.
4. Studying hard, practicing hard and using more brains are the keys to learning vocal music well.
When learning vocal music, you should study, think and experience carefully when the teacher gives you a face-to-face lecture, and make good notes. Vocal learning notes are a mirror that reflects the process of learning vocal music. Vocal exercises, song teaching materials, teachers' requirements, practice effects, main problems and correction methods adopted in each stage should be recorded. After returning home, we should insist on practicing according to the teacher's requirements every day, which is the key to learning vocal music well. Success doesn't favor slackers, and people who only practice face-to-face will not make progress.
The above is my experience in learning vocal music in recent years, which I would like to share with you.

How to make your vocal music study progress quickly
There are some obvious differences between exam-oriented vocal music study and ordinary vocal music study, which are usually manifested in the following points: 1. The students are young; 2. foundation
foundation difference; 3. Low starting point; 4 learning progress is urgent. Based on these characteristics, in order to get good grades in the exam, candidates must be required to deal with the following relationships comprehensively and scientifically in the process of studying for the exam, from how to choose a good teacher to how to study scientifically. Only by dealing with these relationships well can candidates effectively improve their learning progress in the short study time for preparing for the exam:
First, the correct choice of teacher vocal music is a subject that may be very small for self-study, especially for beginners. Therefore, vocal music learning needs tutors.
(1) The importance of vocal music teachers in vocal music learning
Vocal music teachers are in a more important position in scientific vocal music teaching. Although teachers can't sing with their mouths instead of students, the value of vocal music teachers is indeed more important than the role of their mouths, that is:
1. Vocal music teachers are students' guides
Generally speaking, some learning behaviors of vocal music beginners take a long time after entering the learning stage (generally 1 In this period, vocal experts used to call it the
"blind spot" period of vocal learning. That is to say, when learners enter the learning stage, they come into contact with a new subject, just like a tourist who comes to a completely strange city, has no sense of direction, doesn't know the signs and doesn't know the destination. At first, some
simple learning behaviors are still spontaneous and blind for the time being. Therefore, vocal music learners must find a good guide to achieve the purpose of learning quickly. With a good guide, learners will not take detours and get lost.
2. Vocal music teachers are students' eyes and ears
Vocal music is an audio-visual sensory art, and its communication realization includes two aspects: the singing subject (singer) and the receiving object (audience). In the process of vocal music learning, students should start from the need of establishing correct sound concept and image aesthetic concept, and at the same time act as singers, viewers and listeners, so as to scientifically recognize, integrate and shape their own voice image. However, the difficulty of vocal music learning often appears in the balance and exchange of learners' roles as "singers and listeners". For example, in order to distinguish the quality of one's timbre, a singer should scientifically distinguish between subjective voice and objective voice, and guide his feelings with objective voice (usually referring to the voice heard by the audience), so as to avoid misleading the singing feelings by subjective voice. To do this, learners must practice step by step under the guidance of vocal music teachers (this process is called the establishment of sound concept). In this process, the teacher acts as the audience and audience of the students, puts forward suggestions and opinions in time for the students' singing practice, and helps the students to understand and recognize their own voices, so it can be said that the teacher is the second pair of eyes and ears of the students.
