Singing Range At A Glance

By Skyler Jett

The singing range, in a nutshell, is the spectrum of pitches that a human voice can create. These different pitches combined in different sequences produce songs or music with our voices. Many people though does not give much attention to what understanding singing range and how can it affect the process of learning how to sing.

The actual definition of singing range is the span from the lowest to the highest note a person can create with their voice. A person who studies singing range may define it more as the range of "musical useful" pitches. That means the pitches a particular singer can use when performing their style of music. Which ever definition you go by, singing range is different for everyone and that is why we have so many different types of singing.

The most common types of voice that we always hear in a group of singers or choir are soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, Contralto, Countertenor, Tenor, Baritone and Bass. Soprano being the highest pitch and the bass being the lowest. The singing range is important in classifying these types of voices.

Singers are classified in only one voice type, however, they may have the ability to sing in more than one pitch. The classification only helps to identify which pitch the singer is most comfortable singing. Women typically sing in the Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano and Contralto voice type, where as men typically sing in the Countertenor, Tenor, Baritone and Bass.

Individual's singing abilities may vary in many different ways. Opera singers, for example, are known for being able to sing high notes, while jazz singers are known for scats and whistles. Over the years, people are being recognized not just because of the ability to sing high notes, but also because of the ability to sing even the lowest notes.

One man by the name of Charles Kellogg claimed he had a singing range of 12.5 octaves, which is extraordinary for a man. Most of his highest pitches were of his imitation of bird calls which could be detected in the ultrasonic range. His claims were hard to verify, however, there are others whose abilities were verified and recorded in the Guinness World Book Of Records.

One woman in Brazil had the greatest singing range of eight octaves and the highest note of a G10. The greatest range for a man was a gentleman from the United States with a range of six octaves. He also holds the record for the lowest human note. The human voice is an incredible instrument with many different abilities. - 18423

When You Buy a Ukulele Consider This

By Walker Hayes

Buying a ukulele can be an overwhelming and tricky job, especially if you're looking for a beginner or basic ukulele. There are so many from which to choose, and quality is not always a function of price. Keep in mind though, that if you want more than a toy and want a ukulele that you can play seriously, it's unlikely that you will get much acoustic value by responding to a pitch of ukuleles for sale $30 or $40 (pun intended).

When you consider price, remember that you won't get much more than a toy for $30 or $40, one that you can't really play seriously, and one with not much to offer in the way of acoustic value. Having so many different types from which to choose, coupled with the need for a quality, well playing instrument, makes for a thorny undertaking. This can be especially unnerving it you are looking for a beginner ukulele, but don't just want a toy.

Ask and answer this question about your intended purchase, and the result can be some serious fun, with a high quality, well playing instrument. What is the intended use you plan to make of your ukulele, and how "serious" are you about that use? The primary focus should be on how seriously it will be played. Let that seriousness be your measure of quality, acoustic value and price.

Extend that serious consideration to whoever is the intended user, if it's for someone else. Regardless of the user's age and level or playing proficiency, how serious will that person approach this instrument's playability? If this is a gift for someone just learning to play (a beginner ukulele makes a very unique Christmas gift), is that person serious about playing, even if just playing for fun? It has been suggested that putting a low quality ukulele in the hands of a beginner is a huge mistake.

Although you can expect to pay more for quality, it may not necessarily be as a direct proportion. There are some exceptions; while you can expect to get what you pay for, some very well playing instruments are still very reasonably priced. A good principle to follow is that whether for a beginner or for an established player, and regardless of the age, the more serious you are, the more you can expect to play, and the higher the quality you will need. Successful melding of quality and price should be your goal and will for the most part determine your budget. With that in mind, let's look briefly at the four types of ukulele.

Soprano For a beginner the soprano is a good place to start. Early ukuleles were just about all soprano-sized. It's the smallest, and from the beginning it became the classic size with the classic sound. Many gifted ukulele players swear by the soprano. Simple to play by comparison, nothing quite compares to strumming away on the smallest, some say the purest, ukulele.

With the emphasis on playing chords and strumming, playing the soprano is easier to learn than the others, but in many ways it's harder to master. Creating or playing routines involving more finger picking can be difficult, and achieving good resonance can be difficult.

Being smaller, sopranos will usually be priced lower and you will have more from which to choose as compared to the other three. A smaller instrument can also be good for smaller people, like kids. Don't be fooled though, many of the best ukulele players are large people with large fingers who favor sopranos.

Concert Concert is a little bigger than soprano and it therefore sounds bigger. You'll find more middle range, more alto, and a somewhat deeper, mellower sound. Some players find that a concert is easier to hold than the smaller soprano. The traditional ukulele sound with more complex playing potential makes the concert an instrument that offers the best of both worlds.

It can be a good compromise for those who like to strum and fingerpick and are more comfortable with a somewhat larger size. It has the same gCEA tuning as the soprano, with a similar sound but more resonance and a fuller tone. It's not a guitar, but if you can get serious again (which means to seriously practice), you can learn to play just about anything.

Teno Larger still and with more of a guitar look and feel is the tenor. It's still not a guitar though, and it's not intended to be. Slightly larger than a concert, but far smaller than an acoustic guitar, it carries a deeper, fuller, more resonant quality in sound and tone than the concert. The range can be extended by tuning the fourth string an octave lower. Though you may not play like Jake Shimabukuro, the tenor can be used for more advanced solo playing, and since it has more finger room, it lends itself to more complex runs and faster play.

Baritone If you already know how to play a guitar, or if you are learning to play guitar, then learning to play a baritone uke will be easier for you. Tuned like the bottom 4 strings of a guitar, the baritone uke can complement your guitar practice and vice versa. You don't have the two top strings (base) so it's like a guitar with no top end. The baritone ukulele produces a crisp, fuller sound that resembles a small guitar.

In summary, let's get serious again. If you consider quality coupled with cost, add in your level of musical ability and interest in playing, you are now ready to go shopping. There's one additional possibility I'd like you to consider. And it can make your ukulele selection more meaningful than ever. Think about the possibility of building your own ukulele, either from scratch or by assembling one from a ukulele building kit.

The internet has many schematics and plans to guide you through creation from scratch. A host of sites are also available that offer basic ukulele building kits that you can start with, then finish by adding whatever components or modifications that suit your fancy. The tramp art music culture is another good place to start. This is where good-quality, well playing instruments are made from everyday components, using cigar boxes with surprising resonance. These boxes usually have a wooden back. If your level of craftsmanship warrants, you can include a simple box that you make yourself.

Either way, completed instrument, or your own construction from scratch, or build from a cigar box ukulele kit or a conventional kit, the ukulele can be an unparalleled means to some serious fun, with one overriding factor-you can't play a sad song on a ukulele. The best of luck to you if you decide to purchase a completed instrument, and, if you decide to build from scratch or from a kit, good luck and good building. - 18423

?Whammy Bar, Pinch & Tap Harmonics for Lead Guitar

By Jackson White

Pinch Harmonic

"Pinch harmonic is a typical guitar scream. It is often played by the guitar players to rip into the solo and to play one or more notes that simply scream and sound awesome. The rules remain the same but this time all the action depends on how you pick the string.

While playing the pinch harmonic guitar player not only picks note as normal, but also lets his thumb brush up against the note precisely after he picks it. The thumb is setting up the node of the "harmonic" and forcing the strings to vibrate with the desired harmonic series. If you crank the gain and treble up, after employing the technique in proper way, you will always get a screaming harmonic of some kind.

As with other harmonics you require to fine tune the exact position you are using to hit the sweet spot, and you can even alternate between different harmonic types in between notes. Since Pinch Harmonics are performed near the bridge, we are selecting from the higher harmonics, so we acquire high notes. Some higher harmonics also include disharmonious components, imparting to the scream. A lot of the possibilities are here within a small space - we get more because the guitar is by artificial means sensitive to the higher order harmonics as be having upped the gain a lot.

Tap Harmonic

A "Tap Harmonic" is simply like an "Artificial Harmonic"; the difference between them is that the "tap harmonic" practices a single action- to do a tap, instead of separately touching and plucking the string. For this you require to tap the string softly so that it very briefly hits the fret underneath it and remove your finger very speedily. The tap sets the string in vibration and at the same time creates the node in the correct place - so naturally you need to tap the string at the right point essential to set up the "harmonic" you wish.

Whammy Bar Harmonics

Ultimately, the "Whammy Bar Harmonic" is similar to the "tap harmonic", the only difference is that while playing "tap harmonic" you select very high order harmonics, and there is no fret below the exact point you need to hit, therefore, you need to use a whipping action to set the string oscillating and deaden it in the right spot to set up the desired node. That is why; "whammy harmonics" are about the most challenging "harmonic" technique. A great place to do this is on the G string between the 2nd and 3rd frets - depending on the exact place you whip. In this way, you can find 3 or 4 various harmonic series. Just remember that before you whip, push your whammy bar down, and after the tap release it and add a few vibrato - with this technique you can get some crazy screams. - 18423
