Common training methods for sight-singing and ear training

1. Cultivate the habit of listening to the first notes

During listening training, you cannot think about hearing the tail notes. Instead, you should learn to imitate singing quickly when the note comes out. Because each sound has a certain time and a long ending, many people try to distinguish the intervals in the ending, which is unscientific. Music waits for no one, we should react when the sound hits. Therefore, you should develop the habit of listening to the sound head.

2. Cultivate the habit of falsetto pronunciation

Sight-singing and ear training are different from singing, but they should also be able to express the mood of the music, even if each pronunciation is different. Learn to pronounce in falsetto or semi-falsetto. This kind of voice is softer, easier to control the pitch, and easier to control. When singing, it will not put excessive burden on the voice and is conducive to ear monitoring.

3. The habit of thinking all the time

When singing a melody, you must mentally understand the pitch level of each note, experience the emotional color contained in the melody, and at the same time beat the rhythm, so that you can naturally Sing the melody rhythmically and dynamically. In short, when singing, you cannot follow your feelings, which can easily lead to inertia. Instead, you should always maintain the ability to think and distinguish.

Singing and listening are inherently integrated. When training, consciously combining sight-singing and ear training, and finding a suitable teacher for guidance will often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
