Charles Barnett Education | Developing Pitch and Tone
Music teachers including Charles Barnett encourage students to use a piano or a pitch reference tool to practice matching pitches. Singing along with these references helps beginners internalize correct pitches and develop their musical ear. Additionally, focusing on tone quality involves teaching students to use resonators, such as the chest, mouth, and nasal cavities, to produce a rich and balanced sound. Exploring different vocal placements and experimenting with vowel shapes can help beginners discover the best way to project a clear and pleasing tone.
