How to Fix Your Pitch

Singing in proper pitch is also referred to as singing in the proper key. It is not uncommon for inexperienced singers to have pitch problems or go off key. This usually results in the singer hitting notes that are a bit higher or lower than the actual note she should be hitting. Some people can have pitch problems due to a lack of breath or tendency to strain on high notes. These things can be overcome. Even for those that have pitch problems due to a naturally lazy ear, pitch problems can be fixed.
