Singing Technique – Singing In A Group

There are several singing techniques that you can implement so that you can improve your performance. This will of course depend on what type of singing you want to do.

If you are interested in singing in a school choir or church choir you will want to learn how to sing so that your voice blends seamlessly with the rest of the group.

Breathing techniques are the most important thing to get right. If your body is relaxed, then your voice will be relaxed and will not sound strained or tight.

The Basic 4 Vocal Parts

Most choirs will sing songs with harmony parts and this is usually split into 4 basic vocal groups. The vocal groups are called soprano, alto, tenor and bass. In most cases, girls and women sing the soprano and alto parts, while boys and men usually sing the tenor and bass parts. It has been known for girls to sing tenor parts if their voices are low enough. If a singing group is made up of only one sex then these singing parts will of course be divided amongst them. Sometimes this will reduce the song choices for the group but a good singing teacher can produce great results with the voices they have to work with in the group.

Identify Your Vocal Type

You need to make sure that you know what type of voice you have so that you are singing in the correct vocal range. The best way to find this out is to ask your choir leader which group you are best suited to. They should be able to identify your vocal type by doing a few vocal exercises and singing some scales.

Singing in a group can be very rewarding so why not find out if you can join a local choir at school or church. This is also a great way to start of your singing career by getting practice and support within a welcoming group atmosphere.
