Techniques in Singing Songs on Key
In discovering how to sings songs, you need to learn a song first, in which you can transfer the techniques you have developed. In learning a song, what you will need at your disposal is a recording device. The only methods used in teaching how to sing songs are detailed below.
1. Record first the melody of the song without accompaniment, and then repeat with the complete piano part. Play the unaccompanied melody once and then follow along with the music. This seems to be a slow process for advanced singers but is important in finding out how to sing songs right.
2. Playing the melody with accompaniment and recognizing the style is the next step you need to do. At this point, you are able to develop your style as well as your understanding of the piece through considering what the music and the text mean.
3. Sing along with the use of the “la” syllable and mark on the piece of the music notes and pitches throughout the piece. Repeat this step many times so that the sung pitches and rhythms are precisely the same as those on the piano.
4. After learning the pitches and rhythms, whisper in rhythms while you play the melody. It is necessary to follow the steps before this step since learning a song in this order is the best way to make your singing sound beautiful and to discover how to sing songs.
5. Memorize the text and the music and then look at the vocal techniques and learn how they can be transferred to the songs you are learning. It is advisable to make a checklist for the techniques you have transferred to the songs (the checklist can be an imaginary in your head or can be written down). The checklist should include the things like the correct posture and breathing.

An exercise that will help you to learn on how to sing on key is to play a note on the piano and then sing a scale, a full scale that is composed of eight ascending notes in same pattern.
For those who do not have an access to a piano or any musical instrument and you really want to sing on key, you can sing a scale unaccompanied. But remember that in this case the listening skills are very much important.
