Singing in the Head Voice

by Martucci Music May 27, 2020 in Music Lessons, Music School, Singing Lessons

Written by Brianne Cardona Many voice students find it most difficult to sing in the head voice which is also called the upper and middle registers. We speak all day long in our chest voice. Therefore, the chest voice tends to be much more developed in most singers than the head voice. How to Find the Head Voice Some students might not even know what the head voice feels like or is “supposed” to feel like. In order to develop an awareness for what the head voice feels or sounds like, I have my students start out by mimicking an […]

by Martucci Music May 19, 2020 in Music Lessons, Singing Lessons

Written by Brianne Cardona I find that breath support vs. breath control in voice lessons tend to be used interchangeably. It’s important to know that these terms are two very different processes and therefore, shouldn’t be mixed up. One cannot happen without the other, but they are not the same thing. As you will see expanded in the following paragraphs, the main difference between breath support vs. breath control in voice lessons is this: breath support is the set up of a singer’s breath while breath control is the release of that breath. Read on to delve more into these […]

Tension When Singing

by Martucci Music May 5, 2020 in Singing Lessons

If a student is feeling vocally fatigued during their song, they are probably experiencing a high- positioned larynx. The larynx is where vocal sound originates, where the vocal cords are housed, and is what some people refer to as the “voice box”. If the throat muscles or jaw muscles or tongue are tight, then the larynx will begin to rise and start to cause a loss in freedom of tone, a pinched or choking feeling, or tightness in the throat. This brief article is by no means trying to cover all aspects of dealing with tension when singing. That is […]

by Martucci Music October 2, 2019 in Music Lessons, Music School, Musical Theatre, Singing Lessons

The big question everyone asks us is how not to be nervous when singing in front of people? The most experienced of us gets nervous when we sing in front of people! Even Adele said in an interview with Rolling Stone, “I’m afraid of audiences”. Many singers find their rituals and exercises that they do before every performance to get them relaxed before getting up in front of people to sing. That can look different for everyone from stretches to warm soothing drinks. We all find our own methods for calming down and staying calm. But here we share three […]

My Singing Lessons in Sacramento

by Martucci Music May 25, 2019 in Music Lessons, Music School, Singing Lessons

I Was Scared to Start Singing Lessons When I started my singing lessons in Sacramento at Martucci Music, I was scared to show my true potential when it came to singing. I never had the right guidance and felt as if my voice wasn’t good enough. I was also kind of uneasy about singing songs that I only ever dabbled in. Until three months ago when I started at Martucci Music. It was scary. But at this school, they make sure you are absolutely comfortable and are balanced about staying within but also going out of your comfort zone. Doing […]
