Audio Lesson 5

Pitch, Staying in Tune

The first goal for this lesson is to understand the difference between pitch and tone (terms which are often confused with each other), and how to avoid singing sharp or flat. We will teach you how to use your newly acquired support and control techniques to achieve this.

Then we’ll tell you about perfect pitch, which is a rare gift, and “relative pitch,” which is something every singer can aspire to AND achieve. So the overall goal for this lesson is to develop your own “mental ear.” Then you can understand relative pitch and hear when a sound - most importantly your own singing voice - is not reaching notes or singing over the pitch it should be.
