Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWhen beginning a warm up, it is best to drink a-lot of warm water as well as hot tea. It allows you to soothe your throat so when there is any fluctuations, you wont ache.
Straining causes ruptures and contusions on the cords, preventing you to get to higher notes. Outside of straining, proper breathe work helps you prolong your note. Using your lung capacity instead of your talking voice changes the texture of a note. Makes it crispier. Properly coughing also keeps your singing voice in tact.
Lesson 2-3Starting a warm up should start at your feet. When instructing students in a lesson, the best thing to do is to get your heart rate up, that way you can practice breathing. Starting on lower notes helps different muscles in the body relax. Oxygen is what were looking for. You should always start at the lowest note to save your voice. Its important if you want to singing during concerts and or good beneficial practices in general.
When warming up from root to head, you should always start with your basic notes. Whatever octave you rest at is important for your range.
Soprano
Alto
Mezzo alto
Tenor
Baritone/Bass
Once you can figure out your resting voice, you can determine what octave to start at. Sharp notes are what people are most comfortable with because of how you naturally react to the wrong note. Major notes happen to be bass notes. Minor notes, are the inbetweeners. That is where you can start practicing breaking down a run. 1-2-3-4-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2-1.
Try it out.
CDEFGABC is your note pattern.
If accompanied with an instrument (guitar,piano) you can use the keys and or strings to help you stay on key. It helps you maintain your note.
Getting to higher notes requires a different type of breathe control, because your using a different part of the same muscle. Squeezing your lungs pushes out air differently. When singing in different keys.
Outside of breathe control, pronunciation is import so you can sound clear. The lower the note, the more closed your mouth can be, but you have to keep your head up and back straight, the higher the note, the more open your mouth will be and the higher your head will rise for the air to properly shoot through your vocal cords.
Falsetto
Throat
Chest
Throat is how most beginners mess up because instead of you using your talking voice, people try to get raspy. Thats typically how vocal cords rub together the whole time. Thats how irritation happens as well.
Talking voices help you get comfortable singing In front of a crowd.
