making music with the <a href="/wiki/Voice" title="Voice">voice</a>. Singing is probably the way that music started many thousands of years ago. When people sing they make their voices go high or low. If they do this in a way that uses <a href="/wiki/Note_(music)" class="mw-redirect" title="Note (music)">notes</a> of a <a href="/wiki/Scale_(music)" title="Scale (music)">scale</a> then they make tunes, called songs. A <a href="/wiki/Song" title="Song">song</a>, very broadly, is a musical piece, produced by the voice with distinct and fixed <a href="/wiki/Pitch_(music)" title="Pitch (music)">pitches</a> and patterns of sound and silence and a variety which often includes repetition. </p><p>Many <a href="/wiki/Bird" title="Bird">birds</a> also sing. They are the <a href="/wiki/Passerine" title="Passerine">passerines</a>, a very large <a href="/wiki/Order_(biology)" title="Order (biology)">order</a> often called the <a href="/wiki/Songbirds" class="mw-redirect" title="Songbirds">songbirds</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Singing_technique">Singing technique</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Singing&amp;veaction=edit&amp;section=1" title="Change section: Singing technique" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Singing&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section&#039;s source code: Singing technique"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>When people sing they use the <a href="/wiki/Air" title="Air">air</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Lungs" class="mw-redirect" title="Lungs">lungs</a>. The pressure of the air that comes out of the lungs can be controlled with several respiratory muscles, including the muscle called the diaphragm which goes across the front of the body below the ribs. People who have singing lessons spend a lot of time practising “breath control”. </p><p>The air comes through the <a href="/wiki/Throat" title="Throat">throat</a> where the <a href="/wiki/Larynx" title="Larynx">larynx</a> is like a <a href="/wiki/Reed_(instrument)" title="Reed (instrument)">reed</a> on a <a href="/wiki/Clarinet" title="Clarinet">clarinet</a>: it <a href="/wiki/Vibration" title="Vibration">vibrates</a>, controlling the passage of air, and this makes the note higher or lower depending on how it is controlled. </p><p>The sound comes into the <a href="/wiki/Mouth" title="Mouth">mouth</a> which is space where the sound can be made bigger (it “resonates”). Professional singers even learn to think of the whole head as a resonator. They sometimes talk about the “<a href="/wiki/Mask" title="Mask">mask</a>”, i.e. they imagine a mask in front of the face and this makes the sound bigger. The sound then comes out of the mouth so that it can be heard. </p><p>Singing is different from speaking because of the special way the vocal cords in the throat are used. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Voice_ranges">Voice ranges</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Singing&amp;veaction=edit&amp;section=2" title="Change section: Voice ranges" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Singing&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section&#039;s source code: Voice ranges"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Most people can sing notes which cover more than an <a href="/wiki/Octave" title="Octave">octave</a>.

Each one has a different technique. In Western <a href="/wiki/Classical_music" title="Classical music">classical music</a> singers learn to sing in a <a href="/wiki/Bel_canto" title="Bel canto">bel canto</a> voice which uses lots of resonance in the head and makes a smooth sound.

Opera singers today can have different kinds of voices: bel canto, lyrical, dramatic, coloratura (extremely high and light) etc. </p><p>In church choirs the singers are often trained to use a lot of head voice because this sounds beautiful in large <a href="/wiki/Cathedral" title="Cathedral">cathedrals</a>. </p><p>Pop singers generally have a different technique: their singing is more from the throat. They do not need to develop powerful voices like opera singers because they sing into <a href="/wiki/Microphone" title="Microphone">microphones</a> so that their voices are electronically amplified (made louder). </p><p>Voices singing music from different parts of the world may sound very different. <a href="/wiki/China" title="China">Chinese</a> singing sounds nasal (through the <a href="/wiki/Nose" title="Nose">nose</a>). In <a href="/wiki/Mongolia" title="Mongolia">Mongolia</a> there is a technique of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Overtone_singing&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Overtone singing (not yet started)">overtone singing</a> which sounds rather like a finger being rubbed against the rim of a wineglass.
