Range refers to the range of a person's voice or musical instrument from the lowest sound to the highest sound. The characteristic timbre of each sound zone plays an important role in music expression. The high-pitched area is generally crisp, loud and sharp; The bass area often gives people a rich and heavy feeling.

First question? How to improve the range?

People with thinner vocal cords are born with a higher vocal range, while people with thicker vocal cords have a lower vocal range. Through scientific training, a part of the scope can be expanded. The easiest way to test your range is to use an instrument with a fixed pitch, such as a piano or an electronic organ, and find the most suitable range by playing the single tone of this instrument up or down.

As far as itself is concerned, the difference of range can be roughly summarized as follows: her boys have tenor, baritone and bass; Girls have soprano, mezzo-soprano and mezzo-soprano. Even if the range is the same, different timbre expressive force can be subdivided. For example, soprano can be divided into lyric soprano and coloratura soprano; Tenors can also be divided into lyric tenors, dramatic tenors and relaxed lyric tenors.

Practicing bass is the most basic way to help solve the difficulty of singing high notes. You won't feel tired when practicing vocal music in the middle and bass areas, and the relative feeling of each organ is relatively relaxed. You also need this kind of relative relaxation when singing high notes, so that everyone can enjoy your high notes. This is a beautiful voice.

Therefore, it is very important to practice bass first. Practice looking for this feeling in the middle and low range, and it will be easier to expand the upper tone after proficiency. When you are comfortable singing in the mid-low range, you can consider developing to a higher range. Here we need to put forward a term, voice changing area.

The voice change area is the transition area where the singer breaks through to the high-pitched area after mastering the natural area (that is, the low-pitched area we mentioned earlier). In fact, the transition zone only contains three semitones. It seems that these three semitones should be easy to complete, but they are not. The perfect solution of these three semitones directly affects the development to a higher range.

Everyone's voice changing area is different. Only through expert appraisal can vocal music class find its own voice change area, solve the problem of voice change area satisfactorily and expand the range smoothly. After the sound exchange area is successfully solved, it is relatively easy to expand the sound exchange area in the high range.

The second question: how to test your range?

First, you can sing along with the piano or electronic organ, and try from the lowest note, tone by tone, until you can't sing.

Secondly, there are many apps on the Internet that can test the scope. You can download one and measure your range.

Physiological differences:

People with thin vocal cords are born with a higher vocal range. On the contrary, it is even lower. Congenital advantages are obvious, but you can also practice the day after tomorrow, mainly to get up early to practice your voice or hum. After mastering the basic essentials, practice your pitch deliberately.

You can listen to the central c first, then hum C-E-G-E-C ... send, send, send ... E-G-B-G-E...F-A-C-A-F, and then you will obviously feel it in a few days.

The practice of expanding the range up and down:

Upward expansion refers to practicing the most comfortable sound one by one, that is, from 1 to 2 on the score. We should start with a weaker voice. Be careful to keep the correct breathing state, pay attention to the control of waist, abdomen and mouth, and then gradually increase the volume to normal. With some experience, develop a note upwards.

Downward expansion is also practicing from the most comfortable sound to the next sound, starting with the weaker sound. When expanding downward, pay special attention not to press your neck, hold your throat or press the base of your tongue. Try to keep the correct control state.
