Is it all right to raise your singing range

My husband is not that well, he has als and I have been looking after him. Also I wish I could afford singing lessons other then the ones that are ordered by cd or online, but then we do not have a piano. I know that if my husband lets me buy one, I can get someone to help me at home since i have to have someone look after my husband while I am away. Oh thanks for the tip about the pineapples.

I've wished I could afford lessons too. But plenty of good singers have been self taught...so while lessons are a good thing to work toward, I'm sure you'll be able to make a ton of progress on your own...even with the difficulties and circumstances of your life. Anyways, sure. ^_^ Pineapples are awesome for alot of things, but I particularly heart them for that use.

oh suspenseful that would be such a help in your singing if you could have a piano and I think you can find them on sale too. also it would be a place to relax as I know caring for someone you love that has AlS is wearing and you do need an outlet, also if you could get someone to spell you occasionally that would help too. do take care of yourself for your own sake as well as your ailing hubby. cheers. hugs from hatley.

All I need to do is to get my speaker in my computer fixed or use my husband's. I do have some exercises but I do need a piano. I guess that is my next big project. So I guess you can raise your singing range and there is no law against it.

well hope they dont lower it .

I am practicing so they do not have to. I know it takes trouble to transpose and the lower notes have so many sharps in it that it is hard for me to practice.

Oh my low range is horrible. I am good at the middle and high, but I have not been practicing that much. And if I sing for a while, I can get the very high notes. It is just that I have this piece I am singing for the concert and if they lower the piece, I might not be able to sing the low notes, so I am sort of stuck.

This is just one note and the trouble is I can sing the note after it with no problem. I do not feel like straining, but I do not have the volume in that particular note. I do think that is because I am out of practice and of course, cannot afford Singing Success.

It does not hurt but I do not have the power. I remember when I first tried to raise my voice range, and I got this funny feeling as if the sound was coming out my ear. Maybe I did not explain myself clear enough. Right now I can sing from middle C to the first high c and after that up to E with no problem. After that, I sound rather like a little girl. I want to sing to the second high c and the E after that and have the tone and depth that a professional does I also cannot sing much below middle c without sounding like a grouch so I am not that good in the low end of my range. I am good at the middle and the first high range. The trouble is I do not have a piano to practice with and I set my organ a little too high and it is not working that way either. I cannot afford a vocal coach right now and if I could, she or he would have to come to our house, but how can I without a piano?

[b] Excellent rule of thumb. Pain is a signal, & one should seldom ignore it. Congrats on giving such good advice in bumper-sticker mode! Unlike I! Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

I think the most important thing to note when you are trying to improve your range is if it hurts you are doing it wrong so stop and do something that does not hurt your throat otherwise it will damage your vocal cords if you carry on.

I was told that every two days, I try to raise my voice a semi-tone, but then go back to my lower range the other two days. So I am gradually getting up to my former range, but it is taking time. The trouble is that I do not feel strained unless I am that high up0. I do wish I had more time to practice, and I wish I had a piano so that I could have the accompanist come over but money is tight right now.

I do have an organ, and I could get an electronic piano. Also I may be able to get a second hand or third hand piano. I grew up with one when I was young and my parents did not make that much money. I am also getting better with my singing range so it is a matter of practice.

Dear, Please take all the time you need, bcoz if you don't there is a high possibility that you may loose the sweetness in your voice permanently. Piano is really very costly. But there is this thing they call, "Electronics Piano". I've seen it. It's basically an high end synth and with a few modulation and adjustment you can make it sound like Piano, until you buy a real one. Take care...

When I was a teenager, I was in a choir and anyone who could not get to the second C after the middle C was automatically put in the alto. Then the altos did not have the nice pieces they have now or even the nice accompaniments in that if all the sopranos got a laryngitis, the altos could sing a melody that was nice. It was mostly only two or three notes mixed up all the time. So unless you really did not want to sing, you tried to avoid the altos. For instance in our church choir a lot of the altos are there because they do not want to stand out in a crowd or have the other ladies as backup in case they faint seeing the audience. But me, being rather foolhardy -

I stsrted out as an alto when I was young and my voice gradually got higher, so I think it is out of practice. I do have a vocal training (could not afford Singing Success and did not have a piano for lessons at home, and the nearest vocal training place was quite a ways to travel) course and I have started to do the exercises again. The trouble is that I can reach high G with no problem and also get up to the A and the very high C, but high f is a problem so I think it has something to do with being either a little flat or sharp on the keys. Anyway my voice does not strain unless I get past the E on the second C after the middle C, so I guess that is my limit.

I will try that. I have been starting to do the sirens and lip rolls again. but did not know about the humming part. I do find that I can hum high but I do not have the volume. I think that is the trouble.

I have thought about it, but my computer's sound is not that good. I can use my husband's though and see if that works. He is not using his anymore. I do know a good piano download program that will work.
