ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS OF MANY BEGINNER SINGERS IS *SINGING OFF KEY OR SINGING FLAT*
There are many reasons for this like very lowered larynx, inadequate support or faulty intonation etc
My focus today is on intonation.. WHAT IS INTONATION? It is the pitch accuracy of singer or the ability to hear and produce correctly what you hear.
Some persons are fortunate to be born with good ears (By good ears, I mean ability to hear and produce exactly what you hear) while for others they require a bit of tuning or training to help them develop good intonation.
*WHAT ARE THE THINGS TO DO THAT CAN HELP DEVELOP GOOD INTONATION?*
Training your ears by:
1. Listening and producing what you hear— Could be a note.
2. Slide up and down a note
3. Practice scales (Major, minor, pentatonic, chromatic etc)
APPS TO HELP YOUR PITCH ACCURACY/INTONATION
A tuner app or any singing/musical app that can identify any note produced so you can know if you sang that exact app—It guides you 😊
DO THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR A MONTH ✅
If you learnt something new and would also practice react to this😁💯
