Falsetto Head Voice Tips to Develop Head Voice
Volume 1 Issue 27 September 04, 2012 Mike Blackwood, Bill Wiard, Editors CALENDAR Current Songs (Not necessarily “new”) Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight Spiritual Medley Home on the Range You Raise Me Up Just in Time Question: What’s the difference between head voice and falsetto? (Contunued) Answer: Falsetto Notice the word "falsetto" contains the word "false!" That's exactly what it is - a false impression of the female voice. This occurs when a man who is naturally a baritone or bass attempts to imitate a female's voice. The sound is usually higher pitched than the singer's normal singing voice. The falsetto tone produced has a head voice type quality, but is not head voice. Falsetto is the lightest form of vocal production that the human voice can make. It has limited strength, tones, and dynamics. Oftentimes when singing falsetto, your voice may break, jump, or have an airy sound because the vocal cords are not completely closed. Head Voice Head voice is singing in which the upper range of the voice is used. It's a natural high pitch that flows evenly and completely. It's called head voice or "head register" because the singer actually feels the vibrations of the sung notes in their head. When singing in head voice, the vocal cords are closed and the voice tone is pure. The singer is able to choose any dynamic level he wants while singing. Unlike falsetto, head voice gives a connected sound and creates a smoother harmony. Tips to Develop Head Voice If you want to have a smooth tone and develop a head voice singing talent, you can practice closing the gap with breathing techniques on every note. -

Leading Congregational Singing Song/Hymn Leading Is an Important
Leading Congregational Singing LEADING AS A VOCALIST - Joyce Poley DEVELOPING A STYLE Song/hymn leading is an important skill that can make an enormous difference to the way a congregation sings. If the song leader is primarily a vocalist, there are a number of qualities that are important for success: having enthusiasm for singing; being able to establish a good rapport with the congregation; being comfortable with your own voice; having accurate pitch and a pleasing vocal quality; being excited about introducing new ideas and repertoire. These attributes will help ensure a good singing experience for both the leader and the congregation. Song/hymn leaders use a variety of approaches when leading the congregation, and no single approach or style is “right”. What is important is to develop a style that is unique to your own personality and comfort level. The following are some things to consider: • Energy & enthusiasm Probably nothing affects your success as a song leader as much as your own energy and enthusiasm. People respond to those who love what they do; enthusiasm truly is contagious. Those who already enjoy singing will simply become even more enthusiastic; those who are more reluctant, or feel they can’t sing, will want to be a part of all this positive energy. The more encouragement they get from the leader, the better they will sing. The better they sing, the more confident they become, and the more willing to try new things. Enjoy yourself and be at ease, and they will journey almost any distance with you into the music. -

A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and -

Georg Friedrich Händel
Georg Friedrich Händel Georg Friedrich Händel (pronunciación alemana: [ ˈgeːɔɐk ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈhɛn.dəl ]; Halle, Alemania, 23 de febrero de 1685 – Londres, 14 de abril de 1759) fue un compositor alemán, posteriormente nacionalizado británico, considerado una de las cumbres del Barroco y uno de los más influyentes compositores de la música occidental y universal.1 En la historia de la música, es el primer compositor moderno2 en haber adaptado y enfocado su música para satisfacer los gustos y necesidades del público,2 en vez de los de la nobleza y de los mecenas, como era habitual. Considerado el sucesor y continuador de Henry Purcell,3 marcó toda una era en la música inglesa4 siendo el compositor más importante entre Purcell y Elgar en Inglaterra. Es el primer gran maestro de la música basada en la técnica de la homofonía5 y el más grande dentro del ámbito de los géneros de la ópera seria italiana6 y el oratorio.7 Halle y Hamburgo (1685-1706)[editar] Nació en la ciudad de Halle, ubicada en el centro este de la actual Alemania. Su padre era barbero y cirujano de prestigio y había decidido que su hijo sería abogado, pero cuando observó el interés de Händel por la música, la cual estudiaba y practicaba en secreto, cambió de idea y se mostró dispuesto a pagarle los estudios de música. De esta forma, Händel se convirtió en alumno del principal organista de Halle, Friedrich Wilhelm Zachau, quien le enseñó a tocar el órgano, el clave y el oboe. A la edad de 17 años lo nombraron organista de la catedral calvinista de Halle. -
