If you are a bass singer, do not try to singthe highest notesin the tenor range.
![Page 21: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

![Page 23: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Then find the rangein which you are most
comfortable (called tessitura).
![Page 24: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

one register to another (called passaggio).
![Page 26: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

between singers.
![Page 27: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
#3Your most comfortable range
and passaggio may change as you develop your vocal
technique.
![Page 28: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

NOTES?
![Page 31: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

![Page 32: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
about the vocal mechanismwhen singing high notes.
![Page 33: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
If you know thephysiology of voice,
then you can make changes.
![Page 34: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
In order to change pitchyou need to change the length,
elasticity and thickness of vocal folds.
![Page 35: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
A low pitch tone isachieved with short, thick
and loose vocal cords,
![Page 36: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
which vibrateat a slow rate.
![Page 37: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
A high pitch tone isproduced by long, thin and
![Page 38: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
tense vocal cords, whichvibrate at a fast rate.
![Page 39: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The change in length,elasticity and thicknessof vocal cords has to be

accomplished by deepmuscles of the larynx,
while
![Page 41: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
the superficial muscles have tostay relaxed.
![Page 42: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Easily said, right?
![Page 43: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The trick is to learnto isolate the action
of the deep muscles.
![Page 44: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
This can be a challengebecause the compensatory
muscles are used to working
![Page 45: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
all day long – evenwhen we swallow or yawn.
![Page 46: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
THE ROLE OF BREATHING
![Page 47: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Good breathingtechnique allows a
singer to project sound.
![Page 48: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
A good tone requiresthe right amount of air.
![Page 49: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Some programs promote moreair, some advice less air.
![Page 50: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
You need the sameamount of air for bothlow and high notes.
![Page 51: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
However, you need the rightamount of air pressure
underneath the vocal cords.
![Page 52: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
High pitches require biggerair pressure underneath the
vocal cords
![Page 53: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
(as compared to low pitches) because
the cords are tense,long and thin.
![Page 54: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Only practice willteach you how muchis the right amount.
![Page 55: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
If there is not enough airpressure, the vocal cords
![Page 56: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
will not vibrate and yourvoice will crack or be weak.
![Page 57: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
If there is too muchair pressure, your
vocal cords may strain.
![Page 58: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Do breathing exerciseswith the focus on
exhalation (breathing out).
![Page 59: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
A good exercise is to letair out in a controlled way(not too fast or too much).
![Page 60: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

ACCESSING YOUR HEAD VOICE
![Page 67: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
There are two mainregisters – chest
and head registers.
![Page 68: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Registers are distincttone ranges that are
made in a specific way.
![Page 69: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Your speaking voiceis produced in the
chest register.
![Page 70: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
When you produce low notesyour vocal cords are short,
thick and relaxed, which
![Page 71: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
permits more vibrationover the entire length
of the vocal cords.
![Page 72: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
The produced soundis heavy and strong.
![Page 73: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Put a hand on your chestand sing a low note.
![Page 74: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
You should feelvibrations in your chest.
![Page 75: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
When you sing a high note,the vibrations in your
chest lessen and vibrations

The head register is notas “comfortable” because we

don’t use it in oureveryday speech.
![Page 79: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Sometimes, singers producehigh notes in their chest
register
![Page 80: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
which isnot a good technique.
![Page 81: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
The problem is that thiscauses muscle strain.
![Page 82: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
The vocal cords cannotmaintain this position for

a long time and the larynxrises and voice breaks.
![Page 84: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Some schools teach“blending” of the
two registers (smooth transition from one
register to another).
![Page 85: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Other schools teach theproduction of so called
“mixed” voice, which allows
![Page 86: How to Sing High Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/558e7a551a28ab5d2c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
a singer to gradually movefrom the chest vibrations
into the head register.
