How to Sing High Notes Professionally

By Christopher A. Hernandez


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.

Learn.If you want to learn to sing opera, you're going to need lessons. Most people think this means paying a personal tutor, but the truth is that you can teach yourself if you are dedicated. There are now also a number of online courses that give you structure but aren't as rigid as using a tutor. This is a great cost effective option and perfect for those who want to learn at their own pace. Joining a choir is also an excellent way of helping you to get the practice you need.

If you continually try to wow the audience with over-the-top high notes and meaningless melismas (the singing of a group of moving notes on one syllable) all their attention may be centered on waiting for that next glass-breaking high note rather than focused on the bond you could be building with them through the words of your song and the emotional tones and rhythms of your voice.

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.

Many people have aspirations of becoming a singer, but have no idea how to learn to sing. Whether it's to sing in a band, or the church choir, to win the prize on Karaoke night, or just to sound better in the shower, taking the time to learn how to sing with good technique will improve your results and keep your voice healthy and strong. Unfortunately, some people give up the notion of ever learning, because the task seems to daunting.Like most things however, if you take the time to break big or intimidating tasks down into manageable chunks, they can become less of an obstacle. So, if you've ever wanted to learn how to sing, but had no idea how to go about it, read on.In this article I'm going to break down the concept and show you how to learn to sing in five basic and actionable steps taking you from wishing you could, to doing it. And it starts with a commitment.

Nashville vocal coach Renee Grant-Williams helped make stars out of many top artists: Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Dixie Chicks, Miley Cyrus, Huey Lewis, Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Jason Aldean, Christina Aguilera...Singing is one of life's real joys and can be the source of immense pleasure and satisfaction for singer and listener alike. With the popularity of shows such as X Factor around, more and more people are giving it a shot. However, it seems to me that the vast majority don't consider for one minute that singing incorrectly can in fact cause long term damage to your voice. So if you want to sing, where should you start?

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.

If money is tight, or you are more of an introvert and uncomfortable with the idea of singing in front of someone who will be critiquing you, perhaps a home study course is more within your comfort zone. There are some very thorough and excellent programs available online, with more coming along all the time. Some careful reading of reviews, and money back guarantees should allow you the opportunity to find the right fit.Practice.Once you have picked a method, the next step is an obvious one. You can't learn how to sing without practicing, so prepare to spend time honing your skills. Most likely, a lot of time. This is where commitment comes into play.Some people don't realize that learning to sing is largely about concepts and techniques in the beginning. You will be focused less on singing songs, and more on things like breathing, posture, soft palette placement, registers and much more when you first start to learn.

If you have a little more money at your disposal, finding a good singing teacher is invaluable. Unfortunately there are many people that say they teach singing but really aren't qualified to do so. When choosing a teacher, find out as much about them as you can and try and get recommendations from other singers. Does your teacher have a proven history of singing performance? Do they teach not just by lecturing you and showing you diagrams, but by demonstration and a highly hands-on approach?

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.

One you reach the point where you no longer have to think about singing properly and your body adjusts and naturally performs its necessary functions automatically, you can begin to focus on the fun stuff.Be Persistent.Lastly, it is important to be persistent, and don't give up. It won't always be fun, and at times it may feel like the last thing you want to do, but if you stick with the practice routines, and continue to put in the work, it will pay off. Remember what you are trying to achieve, and try to find the motivation to stay the course and stay focused.Being able to sing well is one of the most rewarding and personally satisfying experiences a music lover can have, and virtually anyone can do it. Just remember, there are no shortcuts to mastering anything. It is a process. Now that you understand the process and know how to learn to sing, the next step is to actually get out there and do it.
