You might not think it's possible, but anyone can learn how to sing higher notes. It is not just an activity reserved for superstars.
Learning how to sing higher notes is very important, if you want to sing like a pro. If you want to be able to sing any song you want, it is important to increase your vocal range (the range of notes you can comfortably sing), after all. It is certainly possible for you to have trouble singing low notes, but most people have the most trouble when they try to sing higher notes.
You might not think it's possible, but anyone can learn how to sing higher notes. It is not just an activity reserved for superstars. All it will take you to learn how to sing higher notes properly are time, patience and practice.
The first step to learning how to sing higher notes in the proper way is to understand the different main registers of the human voice.
The "chest voice" is the deepest register. It is also the most comfortable one. Usually that is the register in which most people talk.
The next vocal register is called the "head voice". It is a much higher vocal register, so you might think that it is the key to learning how to sing higher notes. However, even though it is often the sound you hear at operas and in classical performances, it is not the key.
The true solution to learning how to sing higher notes is actually learning to use your "mixed voice". The "mixed voice" register is between the other two registers. It is a middle ground. If you sing using your "mixed voice", rather than your "chest voice", you can learn how to sing higher notes without pain. You can also avoid causing permanent damage to your vocal chords. People who try to sing high notes using their "chest voice" are prone to developing nodules and cysts on their vocal chords. So, not only will learning to sing in your "mixed voice" teach you how to sing higher notes, but it will keep you healthier.
You may have also heard of using a falsetto voice, which isn't really a vocal register at all. If you sing in falsetto, your vocal chords are not even going to fully come together. The sound produced will come out extremely light and airy. It will not have any depth or power to it.
So, in order to learn how to sing higher notes with ease, you should begin by breaking your old singing habits. Instead, practice singing up and down scales in your "mixed voice", not in your "chest voice" or "head voice" or a falsetto voice. It will take you some time and it may feel strange to you when you first begin. However, in no time at all you will learn how to sing higher notes easily and comfortably.
