Singing is one of the natural forms of tune production. To sing is simple to utter vocal sounds with music inflections or melodious modulations. Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice, which is often contrasted with speech. Unlike speech making or talking, there is an unlimited range of pitch is singing. This could simply be deduced that singing is sustained talking on a tune or the artistic intensification of speech brought about by modifying the power, pitch and durations of sound. Nearly anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is merely a form of sustainable speech. It can be informal and just for pleasure; for example, singing in the shower or karaoke; or it can be very formal, such as singing done professionally as a performer or a recording studio. Singing at a high amateur or professional level usually requires a certain amount of innate talent and a great deal of regular practice, and/ or instruction. Professional singers usually build their careers around one specific musical genre and undergo voice training, provided by a voice teacher or coach throughout a career. A person who is singing is called a singer or vocalist. Singer or vocalist singers perform music known as songs that can either be sung “A cappella” (without accompaniment) or accompanied by musicians on instruments.
Why do we learn to sing?
1. It is knowledge easily taught, and quickly learned where there is a good master and an apt scholar.
2. It fortifies the health, widens culture, refines intelligence, enriches imaginations, makes for happiness, and endows life with added zeal.
3. The exercise to singing is delightful to nature, and good to preserve the health of man.
4. It strengthens all parts of the respiratory system. Singing develops the lungs and purifies the blood.
5. It is a singular good remedy for stuttering or stammering in the speech. It increases poise, self confidence and develops character thus adding to the charm of personality.
6. It is the best means to procure a perfect pronunciation and to make a good orator.
7. It promotes good bodily posture and a graceful carriage.
8. It is the only way to know where nature has bestowed the benefit of a good voice; which gift is so rare, as there is not one among thousand, that has it; and in many, that excellent gift is lost, because they want to express nature.
9. There is not any music instrument whatsoever, comparable to that made of the voices of men, where the voices are good, and the same well sorted and ordered.
10. The better the voice is, the better it is to honour and serve God therewith, and the voice of man is chiefly to be employed to that end.
