hey, sorry if this is a stupid question but is there a way to get better at singing if you're just.... brutally tone deaf & have no sense of rhythm? like "other people don't like to hear you sing," you can't hear the difference between half the notes in an octave, tone deaf? And get off beat no matter what? ps I hope you find joy in singing again <3
itâs not a stupid question at all <3 so first iâll say that in the music world, weâre working hard to remove ableist language like âtone-deafâ from our vocabularies and replace it w language like âuntrained earâ or even just describing the issueâ struggle w matching pitch or rhythm. ok onto the heart of the matter! with some ear training and music training, i fully believe you would be able to improve your ability to match pitch, and become more competent in rhythm! often it stems from a technical issueâmisuse of breath or support that can result in tension in throat/larynx/tongue/jaw (all of which affect tone/pitch)âor a pedagogical issue (weâre not all born w the innate ability to match pitch/rhythm! itâs a skill that takes training and practice like all other skills). you could check out this youtube video on matching pitch, or this one on learning rhythm. i hope this helps at all! and thank you sm, sweet anon <3
