How to Expand The Vocal Range

This session, play for music will explain about vocal range. Every human being has a unique vocal, none of that really match exactly. Qualification soprano, alto, tenor, and bass are generally used qualifying choir trainer, whether qualifying TSB. is a thing that is certain, for example, whether a soprano certainly has the range C4-C6 and C3-C5 tenor? not really, because everyone has a unique voice. Generally, men have lower voices than women, this is because the vocal cords which held the male is thicker and longer, while women are thinner and shorter. If you see the strings on the guitar, 6 strings, yaotu the top, whose voice most ngebass, definitely thicker strings than the highest of the thin strings one below.

Is the voice range could be expanded, the answer is, yes, you can. But a qualified bass voice, and certainly will not turn into a soprano, or vice versa. Just as a guitar can not play the low like a bass tone. If a bass can sing in the alto range, his voice will not be as smooth and as good as an alto who sings, and vice versa. I am in training choirs often have to give examples of how to sing the soprano part of them, I demonstrated with high-pitched soprano style, but certainly his voice sounded strange, will not be as good as if a soprano who sings it.

The good news is most of us do not use most of our range. That's what we have to train, using a range of sound to the fullest. Before the intensive vocal training, the lowest tone that I can sing most only up to A, but after practice I can now reach A F # below the first, is quite significant. For the high notes, the singer must learn to sing high notes without pressure and coercion, learn about the chest voice and head voice, then practice to smooth the transition between the two. Smooth the transition method (usually called classical vocal pasaggio in science) had been trained in the Bel Canto method, a method developed at 17an century.

Practice what we can do to expand our vocal range? examples of exercises, lip Trill or create a brrrr sound with the lips or tounge Trill brrrr sound with his tongue, then dengungkan tone do mi sol do do sol mi, after which it rises half a tone and do it again, do this exercise and when you are higher, feel the noise you move from front to back of the throat, let it happen naturally, feel your voice becomes lighter and light, so do not be forced or dutarik up to your neck tendons taut, everything should remain relaxed. If it feels strained when reaching high notes, bend your body at a high pitch, then back up when the tone down.

Above exercise is just one example of a good vocal exercises to expand our range. You can find many examples of other exercises on YouTube, but remember, if the exercise is uncomfortable or even sick, should not be forwarded. Good luck!

Vocal Technic

This session play for music want to explain to all of you who want to know what it is and how to train vocals sound right. All the basics covered here and what sounds wrote that judging from the voice of a singer. This story I quoted from the lessons that I've got and also based on the opinion of experienced musicians.

To present a beautiful voice in singing, before we got to know some of the steps that must be trained, nurtured, and honed on a regular basis and require a high discipline, namely:

A. RESPIRATORY
B. SOUND SHAPE
C. RESONANCE (Echoing voice)
D. VOCAL & CONSONANT
E.  INTONATION (Singing correct tones)
F.  ARTICULATING (pronunciation is correct & clear)
G. FRASERING (Singing with the whole sentence)
H. INTERPRETATION & EXPRESSION (Understanding & Animates songs)

Stages of the above will be presented role in one of APPEARANCE or staging activities. RESPIRATORY

This is the main and most important part of a vocal exercise. You know why ..? Because the breath is the prime mover of the vote. Strong breath can cause and create vibrations as the source of the "Beep". And breath as well as the most potent vitamins to nourish the sound. Hence respiration must be trained properly and carefully.
In singing, we know the 3 (three) types of breathing. Each - each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

1. Respiratory Shoulder

Ie at the time of taking / take a breath, do it with a shrug to fill the lungs. This way is not so good, because the resulting shallow breathing and result in a sentence so disjointed.

2. Respiratory Chest

That is, with his chest puffed out at the moment to draw breath fills the lungs. This way is also not so good, because it seemed so tired and consequently sound so unstable and disjointed.


3. Diaphragm Breathing
We commonly call by breathing the abdominal cavity. Ie pull / take a breath to fill the lungs with developing the abdominal cavity or diaphragm, as well as developing ribs. The best way to do this is to sing, because it will produce a long breath, light, relaxed and better quality sound production.


With respiratory diafargma singer can freely in its expression because there is no pressure and the pressure in the breathing.

 There are several ways you can do to practice this breathing, especially the train "diaphragm" singer, among others:
  1. Standing relaxed, straight body, placing the tip of the thumb finger on the tip of the lower ribs. Take a deep breath through your nose by slowly or quickly, and feel that your thumb was pushed outside the fence, as a reaction to loosening of the ribs. If you already feel full, then the breath had been issued in the form of chanting vocal "a" or a consonant "s" or a count. Certainly not by pushing, but exhale as efficient as possible. Do at least 20x every day or every opportunity for exercise. This will make your abdominal muscles become stronger and stronger.
  2. With a straight supine sleeping position and both hands are placed parallel to the body. grab a few things  such books as an expense over the abdomen and pull nafasseperti part "a" above and feel that burden lifted up over the abdomen, also feel your ribs join push. If you already feel full, remove it again as an "a" before and do at least 20x a day extra or anytime you have time for exercise.
This exercise can make your abdominal muscles to be strong and we were so relaxed to pronounce sentence. It also can change the habit of breathing is done by lifting the shoulders or chest.
There are also ways to make stronger the abdominal muscles is to laugh out loud, until it belly jiggle shaken. But if this exercise should be done very carefully, since then you could say crazy people.

Taking breath at the start of the song or the beginning of a sentence songs can be done with deep breathing through the nose with ease. But if at the time of singing or the middle of the song should be performed with short. In the respiratory Thus, we only develop respiratory "natural" that we have, but if natural breathing "the rise and fall together" while singing " the deep breath quickly and economically remove it with" because our main goal is to finish one sentence in one pull of breath. Thus the sentences that we speak / sing a beautiful sound and quality, not halting.

Music for Children

Play for music about music for our children. We know there have been many places and schools that offer art lessons for children - be it playing musical instruments, ballet, and dances. However, research in England, as quoted by page Female first revealed that parents should not rely on the lessons. Indeed, in the house was the one the kids can hone their artistic talents better.
