Singing: Technique Essentials
Your voice is a very special instrument that you always have with you. The physical differences in vocal cords between men and women, for example, create a variety of vocal ranges such as soprano, tenor and baritone. Combining lyrics and music, singing is also a powerful way to convey emotions.
