How to practice high notes when singing?

Tenor is the most popular voice in the world, and its charm is incomparable with other voices. It is broad, loud, beautiful and lyrical. These are the reasons why people like it. However, there are few very comprehensive and excellent tenors in the world. Why? This is because it is difficult to sing such a thrilling high note, just like walking a tightrope, you will fall down if you are not careful. So everyone is studying, trying to find the best solution for treble.

Singing method

China is a country that produces tenors, and there are many tenors with good conditions, which are envied by the whole world. But our success rate is very low, especially the actors who reach the top level in the world are rare. A batch of talented resources with good voice conditions have been wasted, which is a pity and makes us who love singing feel distressed.

Based on my decades of teaching and singing experience, this paper puts forward some views on several common problems in tenor singing:

1, dull and dull; Heavy voice, difficult treble: this is mainly caused by incorrect understanding of voice and excessive pursuit of big, wide and empty.

2, excessive squeezing and shouting, resulting in a thin voice, no * * * sound, making the voice lack of magnetism, which also makes it difficult to play high notes.

3. The throat is unstable and shaky, and the voice is uneven, which leads to serious intonation problems.

4, hold your breath, leak, timbre is extremely dirty, and cause vocal cord lesions over time.

5, a single pursuit of sound in front, sound behind the nose, causing serious nasal sound, making the sound unreasonable.

6, the breath is too shallow, the sound is not solid, there is no penetration and shock.

The above points are common problems in students' vocal learning and singing, and they are also urgent problems in singing methods. These problems have seriously affected the development of vocal music and the solution of tenor. Therefore, in order to improve the level of vocal music and the fluency of treble as soon as possible, we must establish scientific theoretical concepts of vocal music learning and singing, so as to embark on the correct road of singing.

To establish a correct concept of voice, the most important thing in learning vocal music is to have a clear mind. You must know what kind of voice is the best and what you are pursuing.

Let's talk about my views on breaking through the treble skills:

First, to establish a bottom-up cavity, the most important means is to find the feeling of high * * * with the throat hum? Quot "Xiangming sneer at:

Second, the establishment of a good mid-bass area is the guarantee of high-pitched success. The voice should be relaxed, natural and open, and try to sing until F can be turned on. As long as you don't shout, keep smiling and singing.

Third, establish a correct voice exchange area system:

-bB's second opening, ah change, b-3c, ah change, er (e), in short, from change.

Sound point f to high-pitched c, one sound and one feeling, the cavity is

Adjust by vowel changes. From a deep voice to 2bB, there should be a chest singing, singing.

After 2B and 3C, you should hold your chest out so that you can get a relaxed "sea C". practise

In this process, we should keep running in and let others sing high notes after a long period of practice.

Sounds like a method, a feeling.

Six, for some high-pitched difficulties, students can use the sense training of adulterated sound and semitone. The higher the voice, the more falsetto, the easier it is. After C, falsetto accounts for about 80%, so it is very easy to sing high notes.

7. Low throat position is the guarantee of high pitch. Feel the feeling of letting go of your throat with a sigh. The key to treble is the chin, a good habit of keeping the chin down and backward.

Sigh: Ah-

By treble, we mean the method of true voice or mixed voice, not the method of falsetto. In the 1960s, He Jiguang and other high-pitched vocals had national characteristics, which was also a symbol of the times. But now vocal music has developed, and the nationality is also worldwide. We should use the most scientific Italian Bel Canto to interpret China folk songs. This kind of high-pitched singing is the perfect combination of bel canto and folk singing, so that high-pitched singing will be forceful. The treble "Sea E" (sung by Wang Hongwei) still has a feeling of true voice.

Some suggestions on tenor;

First, be especially careful when singing high notes. Only tenors with special talents can sing above "Hai C", and they must sing well, otherwise they will break their voices. I hope everyone remembers.

Second, teaching should vary from person to person, not the same. The conditions of each student are different, and the structure of the cavity is also different. So we should explore according to our own conditions.

According to the characteristics of voice, people with dark timbre often sing A, E and I, while people with bright timbre often sing A, O and U. Make students feel comfortable.

3. For many years, there has been a dispute between "before" and "after" about the position of vocal music in our vocal music field, and there is also a dispute between classicism and modernity in Italy. The result of the debate is to constantly promote the prosperity and progress of vocal music art. A good singing method can stand the test of time, but it must be combined with each specific student to be accurate. A good teacher must have a pair of good ears and adjust the students' voices to the best acoustics. Being able to make a bright, natural, relaxed and penetrating voice is what we think is the best singing method.

the second part

Let's talk about soprano:

At present, the international vocal music level is improving very fast, especially the soprano is at the forefront of development, and a large number of young rookies are springing up like mushrooms after rain. Sopranos with good voice, fine technique and strong expressive force can be found everywhere. There have been many sopranos in China.

However, in recent years, the development level of international soprano is obviously backward, and the gap is reflected by domestic and international competitions in recent years. In the Beijing International Competition the year before last, the gap between us and foreign players was obvious, and the most important thing was the outdated concept. There are many talented sopranos in a big country like ours, and the level of vocal music should not be worse than other countries. I think, with our joint efforts, we will catch up as soon as possible.

The following are some suggestions for soprano training:

First, comprehensively strengthen the unified vocal training in the middle, low and high-pitched areas, especially in the bass chest sound area, and boldly use the real voice. The real voice of the soprano is very touching, but we often forget it. After practicing the bass area, gradually transition to the midrange area. When you enter the mixed sound area, you must be real, not imaginary, and make a good transition for the treble. The soprano's treble area is easier than the tenor's, because the soprano is born with falsetto, but it is not easy to sing well. Boldly use the real voice in the bass area, and mix the falsetto in the variable voice area. Soprano's mixed singing is relatively easier to understand than tenor's.

Thirdly, from bB, it gradually enters the ultra-high sound zone (whistle zone), and the mouth shape will gradually develop from vertical to horizontal, pulling the smiling muscles and keeping smiling. The higher the voice, the more exaggerated the mouth will be, and the big teeth will feel like swallowing things, gradually getting rid of the chest, and the voice will become more and more concentrated and penetrate the Grand Theatre.

Fourthly, the most fascinating technique of soprano is through the training of skipping rope and rolling scales. The colorful part of soprano is his characteristic, and both mezzo-soprano and soprano should be trained.

Now all-around soprano is very popular in the world, with strong and solid bass; The alto is gorgeous and smooth; The treble is light and beautiful, and it can sing all kinds of songs.

Fan Sang Excerpt: The Queen of the Night

Here are some suggestions for sopranos:

First, remember not to sing hard, even loudly. Sing with the most relaxed mood

Only in this way can we get a good treble.

Second, allocate the proportion of chest, mouth and head cavity to solve the connection of the three lines.

When these theories are very clear in my mind, an excellent all-around soprano can be produced.

Third, strengthen skill training, roll scale, coloratura, long-term and short-term training, so as to be competent for the most cutting-edge vocal music works.

Fourth, there are countless sopranos, but few are outstanding. This is because it is difficult to really master skills, so we should strengthen skill training. In addition, in music table.

At present, we should also improve our own strength, so as to be an all-round soprano and be invincible. Finally, I want to give some pertinent suggestions to the students studying vocal music:

First, remember to cherish your voice, don't sing high notes indiscriminately, forcing yourself to sing high notes will damage the vocal cords, even if the method is no matter how good. Usually, don't practice high notes for more than half an hour every day, especially those above "Hai C", because students with unstable methods should be more cautious when singing extreme notes.

Second, be sure to warm up before singing, first hone up and down in the mid-bass area, fully let the body and throat get hot and enter the best state. Generally speaking, it takes about 20 minutes to open the throat, which will protect the vocal cords.

Third, a good singer should not only have a beautiful voice, but also master good methods; More importantly, we should have a spirit of giving up, enhance our self-confidence and never give up. Learning vocal music is a hard and tiring job, which requires a lot of investment. Only those who make unremitting efforts can climb the peak forever. Therefore, we must be prepared for hardship. Success is for those who are prepared.

Fourth, study extensively, broaden your knowledge, enrich your own connotation and improve your self-cultivation. Only by raising yourself to a certain artistic level can the sung songs be profound, just like being injected into life, and the songs will be energetic. Sing with your heart, sing with your heart, devote yourself wholeheartedly, and move yourself to move others.

5. Pay attention to the health care of your throat. Don't drink or smoke, especially beer. Don't eat garlic before the performance. ) Ensure adequate sleep, reasonable diet, vigorous energy, and form healthy and scientific living habits.
