Where did music think from where

Singers today need many factors to be successful, can be mentioned as: beautiful tone; good vocal technique; special personality; or impressive performance style... But the most important thing is still a good musical mindset, modern. In this article, Let's find out what “Good Musical Thinking” is and how to practice it.

What is “good musical thinking”??

Good musical thinking is the way a singer handles a song in a modern way, phù hợp. It's not just about varying the hooks, adventure. It is also a way of emphasizing, take a break, pronounce, elegant words... Can name a number of singers with good musical thinking, modern in Vietnam like: Truc Nhan, Trong Hieu, Vu Cat Tuong, Hoang Thuy Linh... Musical thinking is also expressed in the ability to appreciate music, singer's improvisation. For example, Truc Nhan's treatment. Possesses good Agility (vocal flexibility), Truc Nhan often takes notes, Raise your voice and "shoot" the whistle to make your own mark, Demonstrates technique in a sophisticated way.

Is it difficult or not to equip yourself with a good musical mindset??

Every genre of music requires different techniques from singers, appropriate handling and style. Ví dụ, Rockers need a little grit, handle decisively, can growl or scream; With funky, it needs modernity, flexible voice, The body must also be well liberated... If you need a few months to improve your vocal skills or performance style. Changing musical thinking takes a lot more time.

I say that because I feel like musical thinking is a bit of an instinctive thing, and is a combination of all the above factors. When choosing this path for yourself, Perhaps you are more suited to a certain type of thinking and music. But it doesn't mean it can't be changed or improved, This requires more perseverance, Be more "rational" during practice as well as performance.

Learn how to handle songs in any situation

Start practicing musical thinking by learning how to process a song. The first is memorizing the words, understand and feel the song's content. Follow me, There's no way to perform a song well when you're singing and looking at the lyrics at the same time. This proves that you do not fully understand the content that the song wants to convey. Or if you understand it, you haven't felt it yet.

Let's try to take an example with the song Love from afar by singer-songwriter Vu Cat Tuong. Belongs to the Pop-Ballad genre, "Long distance love" is like a boy's story about his feelings for his girl. They both had good times and peaceful moments. But when they have to "Love long distance", they cannot overcome the distance. The boy still cherishes the girl and hopes that one day, they can start again. To perform the song well, You need to sing gently but somewhat tormented, regret; and an accepting attitude, Thanks, hope at the end. A wide vocal range and legato technique are especially necessary in this song.

Practice musical thinking by "Listening with analysis"

We often listen to music for entertainment and evaluate it by feeling. Start "listening analytically" from now on. So what is "listening with analysis"?? Is to stop listening as an audience, listen as a singer, a music maker. We still know that emotions are what touches the audience and brings the song to success. But emotions do not come naturally to the audience. It depends on the way the singer performs the song.

Take a clear example with a composition by Phan Manh Quynh, song The Day Before the Storm. Just one song, But Bui Lan Huong and Tung Duong create two completely contrasting colors. While Tung Duong chose a fiery style, handling Pop-Rock tendencies. Bui Lan Huong turned the song into a magical Dream-Pop song. However, both have conquered the audience. To be so successful, they have to understand the song very well and put in the right treatments and techniques. One thing to note is that you need to listen to more genres to enrich your way of processing and thinking about music. And to be able to create a "famous" cover like the way Tung Duong did.

Good musical thinking helps singers perform many songs of many different genres through variations to suit themselves.. Besides, It can also compensate for defects in timbre or pitch. Tư duy âm nhạc tốt cũng giúp ca sĩ có khả năng nhận biết các thế mạnh, điểm yếu trong giọng hát của mình để phát triển, cải thiện. Và gần như là yếu tố quyết định đến sự thành công, độ phủ sóng của các ca sĩ hiện đại.
