Sing In Tune

Most singers don’t start with a strong head voice—and that’s no surprise. In daily life, we rarely use the muscles it depends on. This course helps you build that coordination with short, focused lessons that add up over time. You’ll learn what head voice really is (and isn’t), assess your starting point, and begin training for strength, control, and clarity.

Real vocal growth takes consistency, but it pays off: smoother transitions, stronger mix, and a more expressive range. Go slow, track your progress, and stay curious. This isn’t just about “singing high”—it’s about unlocking what your voice can truly do.

Most singers think of pitch as something external—something a tuner measures or an app displays. But pitch is something your brain builds, interprets, and adjusts in real time. In this lesson, you’ll learn how pitch perception works, why tuning feedback can be misleading, and how to begin training the ear-voice connection that real singers rely on.

Understanding how your brain hears pitch is the first step toward mastering it. Once you know what you’re listening for, your voice can respond with more clarity and control.

This lesson bridges theory and sensation. You’ll start by humming to focus attention on pitch vibration—then open into vowels like “ah” and “ee,” learning how to stabilize pitch across different vocal shapes. It’s less about perfection and more about steady control.

Humming gives you tactile feedback. Vowels bring in the reality of singing. Together, they sharpen your awareness and begin the process of locking in single-note accuracy with confidence.

Solfege is the tool that turns sound into structure. In this lesson, you’ll learn the syllables (Do, Re, Mi, etc.) that map pitch relationships, helping your brain recognize how notes fit together within a key. You won’t be singing yet—just speaking these patterns out loud to build fluency and lay the mental groundwork.

This isn’t about memorizing notes—it’s about building a flexible framework that you’ll rely on for every interval, scale, and melody to come.

Now it’s time to sing. The five-note major scale—also called a pentascale—is your first full pitch pattern. It’s short, but powerful: it teaches tuning, builds coordination, and introduces the core structure of major tonality.

You’ll sing ascending and descending, train your inner hearing, and begin to connect the solfege patterns to actual sound. These five notes are the doorway into real musicianship.

Here, the range expands. You’ll move from five-note patterns to full octave scales, adding complexity while deepening your ear’s ability to anticipate and adjust. Expect to encounter new challenges—especially in half-step transitions—but also new clarity.

The full major scale gives you more data, more range, and more room to grow. With steady practice, it becomes the foundation for both vocal confidence and musical fluency.

Every singer needs to hear contrast to sing in tune. In this lesson, you’ll learn the natural minor scale—and how it shifts both emotional tone and pitch tendencies. You’ll train new syllables (Me, Le, Te), develop sharper half-step awareness, and stretch your brain’s flexibility in hearing multiple tonal centers.

Major may feel familiar. Minor trains depth. Together, they make your tuning more robust and your singing more expressive.

Melodies are built from small moves—steps and skips. This lesson zooms in on four of the most common intervals: minor and major 2nds and 3rds. You’ll learn to hear them clearly, sing them from different starting pitches, and compare emotional color as you go.

By isolating these short intervals, you train stability, refine your listening, and prepare for bigger leaps in the next lesson.

Not all intervals are created equal. The perfect 4th, 5th, and octave are called “perfect” for a reason—they’re stable, resonant, and essential. You’ll learn how to sing them ascending and descending, how to hear them in real music, and how to use them to ground your tuning in any key.

These intervals aren’t just theory—they’re your pitch compass. When you can sing them reliably, every melody feels more manageable.

You’ve learned to sing intervals—now it’s time to use them. This lesson brings in real melodies: familiar songs where you can test your accuracy, identify interval patterns, and begin to feel musical phrases as shapes, not just notes.

You’ll shift from drills to fluency—building the ability to predict pitch movement, stay in tune without external cues, and make musical decisions with confidence.

Tuning one note is easy. Tuning an entire phrase—without drifting sharp or flat—is the real test. This final lesson is all about consistency and control. You’ll learn how to monitor pitch through longer passages, recognize when you’ve drifted, and adjust in real time.

These are the skills that matter most in performance. Whether you’re singing unaccompanied or with a track, you’ll walk away knowing how to stay in tune from first note to last.
