We love vocal exercises, but they’re not enough on their own. We need to sing songs! But I know many folks don’t know where to start. So this is a guide to simple, beginner-friendly song work.

Visual Component

Grab lyrics, a chord chart, or (best of all) sheet music to learn with. You’ll learn faster when there’s a visual component, even if it’s just the lyrics. But ideally, you’ll also have a visual representation of the melody, in the form of sheet music! I know that the majority of people don’t read sheet music, but don’t let that stop you from using it as a learning tool. All you need to know is that when the dots get higher on the page, that’s higher in pitch, and when they get lower on the page, that’s lower in pitch. That’s enough knowledge to help you learn melodies more accurately. Listen & learn by rote - that means: listen and repeat. There’s no replacement for this step, unless you do sight read.

Take Notes

I know you might skip this step, especially if the song feels easy. But if you have your music or lyrics printed, or if it’s in an app that allows you to take notes, please do! You can circle or underline tricky phrases, and write a check mark or slash as a reminder to take a breath, especially if it’s not intuitive.

Practice the melody on a syllable or vowel

This is the simplest way to make a song easier! The syllable or vowel is up to you. Perhaps you have a favorite warmup? Use that syllable! So for example, instead of singing “oh say can you see,” you can try “mum…” or “bou…”.

Add the lyrics back

Stick with the syllable as long as you need to! When you feel comfortable, put the lyrics back on, and take note of any spots that become more challenging once you do.

Troubleshoot

If a syllable is easier to sing than a lyric, that gives you valuable information: you can sing that pitch, you just might need to modify the lyric a little bit! For example, maybe you felt great on “muh”, but the lyrics came out like “oh say can you see." You can modify the vowel by moving the EE in SEE a little closer to UH in MUH.

You can also ease into that modification by singing “oh say can you suh” and then introducing more EE into that vowel.

Gradually reduce the volume of the lead vocal

It can feel like a big jump to go from singing along with the original artist to singing with a karaoke or instrumental track. Make that transition easier by slowly reducing the lead vocal’s volume. Vocalremover.org is a great free resource for that! If you struggle with singing in tune, I highly recommend this method, since you can still hear the melody, but you get used to being the lead singer.

Focus on storytelling and begin to make the song your own

Of course, you can focus on storytelling from the very beginning! Some songs, you feel so connected to, that it’s difficult to set the emotion aside. But the reason I have this step last is because I know many singers don’t feel free and relaxed enough to focus on the story until they feel somewhat confident with their technique, or how they’re singing the song. You can split the difference here and give yourself temporary “breaks” from focusing on technique. What I mean is: give yourself a chance to forget about mechanics and vowels, and just sing! You might find that when you’re emotionally connected, some of the technical challenges fade.

The main idea is: singing is communication. And even the most beautiful singing without emotional connection falls flat. Think of a real person to sing to, find connections between the lyrics and your own life, and sing the song as if you wrote it.

Whatever song you work on next, I hope the steps from this lesson help you improve and gain confidence in your singing.
