Learn Easy Music Theory

listen to yourself a little more critically. play a piano key, and try to match the sound exactly (play in your range, so you won't overstress your voice).

ask yourself, 'am i higher or lower than the piano note?' most of the time, you'll be lower. try stretching your sound up a little, and hear if that is closer to the piano note.

practice matching notes close to where you started from, either up or down (half steps are good). try to remember where your voice felt or sounded correct.

after a few practice sessions, play a short song, and see if you can match the notes when singing. go slowly, and increase speed when you are more comfortable that you're getting better.

tips:

• support your sound with air
• develop definite positions for your throat
• lower sounds take more air, and tend to be flat
• higher sounds tend to be sharp
• don't be afraid of a little vibrato
• don't get discouraged by small improvements. they are improvements!
