8 Tips To Sing On Key
How Do You Tell If You Sing On Key ?
Am I hitting the notes with my singing? Being able to learn how to sing on key is crucial for singers. You can determine whether you are singing on key in a few ways:
1) You can start by listening to yourself. It’s likely that you are not singing on key you find yourself adjusting your tone slightly all the time.
2)You can also record yourself and play it back to see if you are singing in tune. You are most likely not singing on key if you can hear your voice faltering or bouncing.

What Does it Mean to Be in Key?
Singing in Key however means that the notes we are singing fall in a particular set of notes that are predefined. The Key of C for example uses all the white keys on a piano and none of the black keys (also known as “accidentals”.) Any deviation from that set of notes is considered to be out of key.
Why Do We Sing Off Key?
It can be the octave we are in, or it may just be that we are flat/sharp. You may want to take a moment and just listen to what you’re singing before jumping right into it. Singing is about feeling the notes.
Not enough air can cause the vocal folds to be over-muscled and a bit too thick. This can make a singer go flat or below the correct pitch. Conversely, a faster airflow rate can cause the pitch to rise, going above the correct pitch and sounding sharp.
People go off-key when singing when the music is being played out of their natural pitch range. When your voice is naturally low, contralto as a female or basso profundo as a male, the difficulty arises in that you’re not allowed to sing the melody.
