Lesson 3: Pitching to Sing in Tune
Pitching is the focus of the third lesson, which is how high or low your voice is! Unlike popular belief, there are very few people that are actually tone-deaf! TJ believes that pitching is more about listening to the music, than actually singing. He encourages you to listen more, and sing along to the music to improve your singing! Finally, he provides some pitching exercises that you can use to easily improve your pitching skills, all with a piano app!
