Learning to Sing with
Singorama

Audio Lesson 1

Introduction and how to understand your own voice
This first section will help you Get Started as a Singer. You'll
come to understand your own voice, where you are at, and what you
are capable of. You'll also find out what exercises you need to
do to warm your voice up before we get into the more nitty-gritty
vocal technique.

Audio Lesson 2

Warm ups and strengthening the voice

In this lesson, we will focus on warming up and teach you some
great vocal strengthening exercises. We hope that you are excited
to get into the great content we have for you. This lesson is
going to be very beneficial to you as a singer. The warm-ups and
strengthening exercises we have for you in this lesson can be
learned and when you have mastered them - they will keep your
voice strong and ready to sing. The ability to warm up and the
strengthening your voice are paramount. You will dramatically
improve most areas of your voice if you take the time to practice
these techniques.

Audio Lesson 3

Breathing and Posture
Your breathing will affect your vocal tone as well as your pitch.
That's why today we are focusing on Breathing and Posture. While
Lesson 2 is about learning incredibly easy and effective warm ups
that help strengthen your voice and add flexibility, the third
lesson covers breathing techniques and correct posture for
singers.
In the last couple of lessons, we talked a little about breathing
and just how important it is to have the correct support and
control. As a singer, your breathing greatly affects your
performance because it's the flow of air which makes it possible
for you to produce sound in the first place!

Thus, the goals for this lesson are to:

Understand the importance of correct breathing technique and
posture

Learn how to breathe from your entire body

Learn the effects of using proper breathing techniques

Audio Lesson 4

Tone
Now we're moving on to the nitty-gritty of vocal technique. From
this section onwards, you're going to learn everything you need
to know about tone, pitch, as well as your chest and head voices.
This stuff may seem easy to brush off, but these lessons will
actually give you the best basis for producing a professional
sounding voice. After all, the foundation is the most important
aspect of singing.

Audio Lesson 5

Pitch, Staying in Tune

The first goal for this lesson is to understand the difference
between pitch and tone (terms which are often confused with each
other), and how to avoid singing sharp or flat. We will teach you
how to use your newly acquired support and control techniques to
achieve this.

Then we'll tell you about perfect pitch, which is a rare gift,
and "relative pitch," which is something every singer
can aspire to AND achieve. So the overall goal for this lesson is
to develop your own "mental ear." Then you can
understand relative pitch and hear when a sound - most
importantly your own singing voice - is not reaching notes or
singing over the pitch it should be.

Audio Lesson 6

Chest voice and head voice

This next lesson is about your two different voices: your chest
voice and your head voice. The overall goal for this lesson is to
understand the difference between these two so-called "voices"
you have. But more importantly you want to learn how to bridge
and blend your two voices so you have a connected voice
throughout your entire vocal range.

Audio Lesson 7

Bad Habits to AVOID

There are probably bad habits that you can't help but make and
will be destructive to your voice. Here is where you discover the
most common bad habits that many singers have. This will make you
more aware of them and avoid falling into the same old traps in
the future. Not only will you learn how to identify bad habits (and
learn how to avoid them), you'll also establish GOOD overall
practice habits when singing.

Audio Lesson 8

Extending your vocal range: Part 1

Although other lessons in the Singorama course will certainly
help improve your vocal range, this lesson (along with Lesson 22)
is specifically focused on how your vocal range actually works.
It also includes several powerful exercises that you can practice
with AND ultimately increase your vocal range in the process -
most likely by an octave at the very least!

Audio Lesson 9

Time signatures, key signatures and rhythm



This lesson marks the start of the next section of the course
which covers the technical side of music. The goals for this
lesson are really important and will be very worthwhile if you
wish to train further as a singer. After this lesson you should
be able to:

Understand the different technical elements of a piece of music,
not to mention

Learn how to visually recognize different time signatures

Learn how to hear the difference between different time
signatures

Learn how to identify the key signature of the music

Learn the different types of musical notes

Understand how to learn the rhythm of a piece of music

Audio Lesson 10

Major and minor keys; Solfege

By this lesson, we'll be well into learning about the technical
side of music and music theory. This lesson is all about major
and minor keys and scales, as well as a system called Solfege.
Much of this lesson will be building on things that we talked
about in the previous lessons about time signatures, key
signatures and rhythm.

The goals for this lesson are to understand the difference
between major and minor keys, scales, and to be able to hear the
differences as well.

Audio Lesson 11

Intervals and Solfege

In this lesson, we'll focus on the Solfege system and how to
ingrain it into your memory. As you gain a better grasp of
Solfege and put it into practice, you'll find that reading music,
picking up harmonies and learning songs is a breeze. We have
taken the difficulty out of all that dry music theory and come up
with some fun and easy ways to get the competitive edge over all
those other singers out there.

The goal for this lesson is to understand the importance of
learning Solfege when trying to "memorize" intervals
and learn the tricks for remembering different intervals.
We will be teaching you the tricks to learn a song without having
to hear it first. This will benefit you greatly as it will
improve your musical ear and help you with harmonising as well.
This way, you'll be able to sing the correct notes in the right
keys.

Audio Lesson 12

Different styles of singing

This lesson provides an overview of some of the different ways
you can use your voice to produce various sounds. We will be
exploring how to manipulate and change your voice to produce
exciting and different effects.

When flicking through different radio stations that play rock,
opera, jazz, musical theatre or pop, you'll find an amazing
variety of songs and voices which differ greatly from each other.
The art of manipulating your voice and accompanying differently
arranged backing instruments is something that you can learn.
When you learn to how to use your voice more fully, you will
increase your versatility as a singer and make yourself more
employable to boot!

The ability to sing a variety of different styles can be
especially useful when auditioning for musical theatre. Often
performers will need to sing a range of styles within a show.

Audio Lesson 13

How to Become Sensational At Singing Harmony -

Everyone will want to sing with YOU!

Very few singing courses deal with harmony since it's not as easy
as it sounds. Luckily, we'll break it all down and make it easy
for you to understand - not to mention provide numerous tracks
for you to listen to and practice with.

With Singorama, you'll discover how to make your harmony sound
like a true professional. We'll also familiarize you with
different chord progressions and cadences. Hearing melodies and
their harmonies within the chords will eventually become second
nature to you!
You'll also learn the important things to avoid when singing
harmony. This is to eliminate clashing between parts and allow
you to sing your harmony to the composer's desired effect!
