Singing in Tune
Singing in Tune & More
The Blog Category Is Expanding:
I’ve expanded the blog category to include “General Singing Posts” in addition to the vocal intonation posts.
Tuning Up:
Are you frustrated with online sources that claim to help you with singing in tune?
Search online and you will find that most websites focus on tuning up using distance drills. In other words, they have the vocalists practice melodic intervals. OR they have the vocalists perform solfege (Do, Re, Mi, etc.).
However, none of this will help you harmonize in tune. I can help.
Based on over 30 years research, the blogs provide the information you need to hear how properly tuned chords should sound. This happens through the use of harmonic sound models.
Specifically, harmonic sound models use specially tuned guitars, synths, and online song tracks to demonstrate how properly tuned chords should sound. Click here for the Intonation Flight Simulator.
Hearing how the harmonies should sound is half the battle. Furthermore, this half of the battle contains information very few musicians know how to teach.
That is, hardly any musicians know how to express how they sing (or play) in tune, much less know how to convey the concepts to someone else. Until now.
Harmonic sound models are important. Nevertheless, both melodic and harmonic sound models are necessary for complete ear training.
Flexible pitch instrumentalists also benefit from the special ear training.
