Vocal Coach Advises Student to Learn How to Sing Do Re Mi
My daughter recently began taking voice lessons and her coach told her she needed to learn how to sing do re mi before attempting to learn how to sing anything else. The voice coach explained that this basic pitch exercise will help improve her voice and her ability to be more attuned to its sound. It will also improve her accuracy when reaching for a note. The next thing she needs to learn is proper breathing techniques. She needs to breathe from her back and diaphragm, not just from her throat. Another important element of singing is good posture. Her coach told her to practice in front of a mirror so she can check her posture. She has to find a comfortable range for her voice. When she finds her range it is important to stay within it to avoid damaging her vocal chords. I am glad she is taking lessons from a professional voice coach who will make certain she learns to sing the correct way.
