Learn to Sing Opera in Five Steps

By Jack H. Sousa


It is the dream of every singer to sing high notes flawlessly and easily. But singing the higher notes is not an easy task and requires a good professional tutor along with regular practice, breathing and posture exercises as well as warm ups and cool downs. To sing high notes one requires immense dedication and motivation as it's not always possible to hit the high notes in the first go. But it isn't always necessary to go for expensive classes in order to learn how to sing high notes; it can be done at home, through the internet, CD's and e-books as well.

The first thing to do in order to learn is to learn how to breathe in the proper fashion. Many people develop wrong breathing habits as a result of a lazy lifestyle, this result in shallow breathing and not utilizing the lungs to their maximum capacity, lack of oxygen throughout the body can make the person more lazy and lethargic. Hence regularly practice breathing exercises to strengthen the lungs and vocal chords. The right method of breathing involves the stomach going in and out and the chest remaining still. Along with breathing exercises, one has to practice the right posture exercises as well in order to stand in a manner that lets the diaphragm expand to its capacity and back.

The second thing to consider is to perform regular warm ups and cool downs before and after every singing session. This strengthens the chords and protects them from stain and damage. To learn to sing pitch notes first target your focus on the mid-C, perfect that note and then try singing an octave above and an octave below it. This will help in slowly in bringing you to the high notes and simultaneously perfecting the lower ones as well. Try not to sing with your throat as singing high notes from the throat can lead it to get sore and strained and sometimes you can even completely lose your voice due to the damage done.

These are sung best with your head voice; it might sound nasal a bit but remember if it's nasal, you are probably doing it right. Don't have false expectations of perfecting it in the first go; keep practicing till you get it right. The key to perfectly singing high notes is to consistently go on singing the higher without changing its quality or going into falsetto.

Some people find it helpful practicing with an instrument like a piano. They play a certain key and try matching their tone to it, but remember not to get too dependent on it else you won't be able to sing without it. Singing in high notes can take months even years to perfect so you have to keep practicing. In order to keep singing high notes perfectly, you need to keep practicing regularly. This could the best way to increase your vocal range.

Singing is a form of recreation and self-expression that a lot of people have learned to love over the years. Music is a great tool that people use to relax and a lot of people have been able to benefit from listening to quality music. There are a number of people who are gifted when it comes to singing because they have the voice that sounds great, but unfortunately it is not found with everyone.

A lot of people say that singing is a talent but more often than not, it is a gift from God that can be developed with the right kind of training and practice over the years. Those people who do not have the certain gift from God can still be able to develop their voices so that it will be pleasant to listen to when they sing but they will certainly require more effort.

Have Fun and Learn How to Sing.What many people really want to know is how to sing because it is something they have learned to love throughout their lives. Singing starts out as a hobby for most people and the best singers start when they are extremely young. Though some of them will sound weird, out of tune and unclear, they are doing what they love and they have the determination that is necessary to get better at it.

Some kids are given the gift of voice that will not need that much training to control when it comes to singing. Though they do not have to work as hard to control their voices compared to people who are not that gifted, they still have to learn how to sing depending on the type of music that they listen to.

There are already a lot of variations of music today and some kinds of vocal styles will fit certain kinds of songs while others won't. Some voices will sound great with slow, romantic ballads while some voices will sound lovely on upbeat songs depending on how the voice will match the melody. There are a lot of things to consider and because of this, having a vocal coach is a great idea.

A vocal coach can easily guide you on what you need to improve on so that you can train your voice to make it sound like the way you want it to. You can get drills and techniques that you aid you so that you can sing the types of songs that you wish to sing and though this might cost you some money, the benefits to your voice will make it worth it if your vocal coach knows what he is doing.There are plenty of videos over the internet about singing and how you can improve but it certainly does not ensure success in singing. You can use the vocal drills found online though if you do not plan on getting a vocal coach for now so that you can improve the quality of your voice but having a vocal coach will be very beneficial in the long run.
