Foundation Vocal Course

Hey again! 

High notes don't immediately make you an amazing singer - but, it's tough to really put across your ideas and do justice to the songs you love when you simply can't hit the chorus or money notes, right?

For me, developing my mid to higher range wasn't something I wanted to show off with - it was purely functional to hit my favourite Creedence and Alice in Chains songs - those G4s and A4s were simply too high for me.

So, I used to lower the key of all these songs.

Man in the Box just doesn't have the same ring to it when it's sung an octave down in the lower range, right? The punchy chorus is really the personality of the song.

There's nothing 'wrong' with lowering the key if that's what you want to do - however, if it's because you can't hit the notes you're trying to sing, lowering the key allows you to "get away with it" - meaning, you're STILL making exactly the same mistake.

In fact, it's solidifying and exacerbating the issue - you're creating muscle memory around these mistakes that you can 'get away with in a lower range'.

If you're serious about taking your singing to the next level, you absolutely must address the reasons why you're struggling to hit those notes.
