ok guys I can sing low and quiet, and high pitched. My elementary school teacher always scolded when I breathed and said BREATHE BEFORE SINGING. MORE EXERCISES FOR YOU, NOW DO BUMBLEBEE. so I'm not accustomed to breathing while singing. but idk I'm not creative in the songwriting sector. if I want to be a good music artist, I need to write good songs because I can't pay any song writer.
I have a horrible vocal range though according to the test on the website. No vocal coaching, I'm relatively good at dancing but its HARD to do singing while dancing. so yeah I'm not artist material. my genre of music I listen to is dark rnb, chase Atlantic, alt rock, etc. and also pop. my singing voice doesn't fit my own genre I like
What do you mean enough? You have to be more specific. Do you have less than one-and-a-half octaves? Then you need to develop your foundation, yes. If you have two or two-and-a-half octaves, you have plenty of range and you can sing most songs.
The amount of training that goes into getting to a point where someone can sing while doing anything other than stand or walk around on stage takes a LOT of training. Just because you can't doesn't mean you're not artist material. There are more famous singers who could do a full concert from a stage that's only 2'x2'. Hell, I'm old enough to remember when everyone in the United States went on a Gregorian Chant kick, where every vocal was allowed, maybe, three notes per song.
Also, if you're talking about writing your own songs, then whatever range you have is perfect. Even if you only have a one octave range, there are 12 notes you have at your disposal. Play around with all of the ways you can sing the notes in your range and then go from there. As a kid, Pete Townshend couldn't afford guitar strings. When a string broke, he would restring his guitar so the ones left were closer together. He's attributed that in interviews as one of the reasons for his musical style.
All that's to say, while you might not have the tools necessary to sing along with your favorite songs in their native keys (I sound like I'm being stabbed to death every time I try and sing anything by Bruno Mars), knowing the notes you CAN sing is all you need to write your own songs. As you keep practicing, your range will grow as your instrument gets stronger and you discover new things.
And if the music genre you love isn't written in your range, then congratulations on being the first!
'Some musicians swear a keyboard is the fastest way to see harmony. Others say you can understand harmony deeply without ever touching one.'
Both these things can be true. 'Fastest' doesn't mean 'only', and 'overrated' versus 'essential' are not the only two choices. I guess I'm just pissing into the wind complaining about poorly-designed questions on a casual poll. :) But I don't like false binaries, and the polls on this site often trade in them, which I think fosters narrow thinking.
I believe the piano keyboard is a great, valuable tool for visualizing and exploring key concepts like how chords and scales are built, and for visualizing and exploring harmonic relationships and movements between chords, and I recommend any musician to learn at least a little piano for those reasons. So, it's definitely not overrated. However, to me, that doesn't fit the definition of essential, which means that is is REQUIRED for understanding and carries with it the connotation that we wouldn't even HAVE such understanding without it. There are many, many ways to visualize and talk about these things.
This site does not in general teach you how to be a good singer. It will help with some specific things that can be useful to a singer -- recognizing and reproducing pitches and intervals with your voice, recognizing and reproducing rhythms. I'm pretty sure it's a large part of why I now pick up pieces more quickly in choir, for instance. But it will not teach you basics of singing like good tone production, how to access the different parts of your range, etc.
this app is excellent for long term ear training which is an ESSENTIAL musician skill to have :) this of course includes a better singer! But it doesn't teach you proper singing technique, for that I would go with a singing teacher first if possible so you don't get bad habits, if you can't, try internet, self taught :/
I'm perpetually stuck at Rhythm Parrot level 31 because my inputs just keep getting pushed forward out of sync. I don't know what else to do. I've tried switching to clicks, different buttons on the keyboard, whatever I do is not good enough. When the rhythms include 16th notes, it just doesn't want to register that I have the rhythm correctly. I am 100% sure it's not my sense of rhythm, the game is just poorly calibrated. Whatever dev works on this game, if you see this, please look into this and figure it out.
I've never tried it because my space bar works fine, but, maybe try plugin your keyboard (piano instrument) to your computer by midi! I'm considering it once it gets more difficult, specially on the notationist!
