Does anyone have any tips about how i can teach myself sight singing?

Question

I'm thinking about practising singing intervals but wondered if there are any easier and faster tips for sight singing

Answer 1

well, this isnt exaclty fast, but pick up and instrument, that'll help you learn to read music better... and that'll help you site sing

Answer 2

Make intervals make more sense by affliating them with a song...Perfect 5th=Star Wars. Major second="do-re" of a major scale, etc. Minor 7th--Star Trek, tri-tone="Maria" from West Side Story. Also learn solfege (do-re-mi, etc.) This will help quite a lot. Also check your notes with a piano or another instrument. Sightsinging is absolutely NOT useless, by the way. If you are going be a musician, being able to hear intervals well and IN TUNE you need to learn it. You really need it if you're ever going to teach as well! Good luck.

Answer 3

Lots of practice. Have a piano nearby and play your starting note, try to hit your interval, then play the note and see how close you were. The more musical experience you have, piano, other instruments, or singing, the better you'll get at reading music.

Answer 4

Go get books on the subject and listen to music and sing when u get the chance making sure u warm up ur voice first. Warming up voice is where u sing a series of note in a scale.

Answer 5

Well to recognise intervals try www.good-ear.com. It'll make life easier.
On the music front it's all about recognising shapes of sequences of notes, just like reading words.
Try looking at some songs you are familiar with first and get to know the notes, intervals and how the music looks.

Answer 6

Sight singing is the most useless thing in music I ever learned, but if you want to, it is a lot easier to learn if you play a simple instrument first, like flute.
PS: there are no shortcuts.

Answer 7

If you want to know a very good vocal coach try to visit https://tr.im/eDJyl an online vocal coaching tutorial. Everything, ranging from breathing fundamentals, vocalizing exercises, techniques on singing high and low notes, how to not go off-key/out of tune/off-sync, musicianship and music theory, proper diction and articulation, and a lot more are covered, all in our native language. It can be quite technical in nature, but it really helps since it covers the musical aspect of singing deeply and not just concentrates on how to impress people with your vocal range, riffs and runs and other cliches that do not necessarily make one a complete vocalist.
