The Mathematics of Singing

Singing is math. When you begin to learn math in school you first start of by learning how to solve the different types of problems. Lets use addition for example. You start by adding the two numbers together, which is part of the technique for mathematics. In singing you have to start off by learning the techniques too. When the note goes up the scale you sing higher and when the note goes down the scale you sing lower. The next thing in math is to practice what you have learned. The more you practice the math problems the better you will become and be able to do the problems with ease. Just like math, in singing you have to practice the techniques of going up and down the scale so that you will become better at singing. Singers use sight reading to perfect singing up and down the scale. Lastly in math you have to apply what you have learned in a math test. A math test is an assesment to see if you have understood what was taught to you and to see if you took the proper steps to practice the technique. Singing is the same way, you are tested with sight reading lines, so the teacher can see if you are making progress and understanding the techniques involved in sight reading. Singing is math because they both start off by learning the technique, practicing the technique, and the apply the techniques to look for progress.
