An Important Tip For Practicing Your Singing or Other Instrument

2013-07-25T19:22:00.002-07:00

It's not how long you practice, it's how consistent you are. Twenty minutes each day will bring better results than 2 hours of practice twice a week.

Try to practice about the same time every day and lock yourself in the bathroom if you need to in order to be in a quiet environment. No distractions and for heavens' sake turn off that cell phone.

This time is YOUR time. Make it a point to announce this fact to your friends and loved ones. You are not available to anyone during this time.

Have plenty of water available during practice sessions.

Bring a positive attitude and clear goals.

Practicing should be a joy and frustrations kept at a minimum.

Sing with Joy!

This week's ear-training exercise for developing perfect pitch

2013-01-25T12:03:00.003-08:00

Can you sing each interval of a major scale?

Beginning on "A" below middle "C" on the piano (or choose any key that is comfortable to sing ) -
Sing "do " (dough) as the first tone
Sing "re " (ray) as the second tone
Sing "me " as the third tone
Sing "fah " as the fourth tone
Sing " so " as the fifth tone
Sing " lah " as the sixth tone
Sing " Tee " as the seventh tone
Sing " do" as the eighth or final tone of the major scale

Practice this vocal and ear-training exercise, recording your voice to monitor your pitch. Daily, consistent practice will develop your ear by teaching it to hear a pitch correctly with repetition.

Singing up the scale is called ascending. Singing down the scale is called descending.

After several attempts at singing only ascending intervals, begin practicing descending intervals. (It will help if you practice just saying the solfegge ( do, re, me, etc.) in reverse first until it becomes automatic.

Ear Training Exercise for the Week

2011-07-02T16:15:00.000-07:00

The ear-training exercise for this week is to sing a Perfect 5th and really be able to establish this interval in your mind. Remember...what you think, is what you sing. So you must be able to hear this interval in your head first.

If you don't have my Ear Training CD program - play a P5th on the piano or keyboard by playing 1 to 5. You can play from c to g, singing c as 1 and g as 5. You may begin on any piano key, just make sure your first key is 1 and the fifth key is 5. EX - g to d. or f to bflat.

Repeatedly sing this 5th until it is well established in your head.
