HIS TIPS FOR SINGING GOSPEL
MUSIC…
Ihave always been fascinated with gospel
music! Ispent several years studying Aretha
Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Sister Rosetta
Tharpe, and other famous gospel singers,
just so Icould get that soulful feel and get
those cool bluesy licks into my own singing
style. Here are some tips to help you get
started with your own gospel journey.

4. 1
.BREATHING EXERCISES
In order to be able to hold your gospel notes and vocal lines without
gasping for air by the end of the line, it is a good idea to practice breathing exercises to give
yourself more control. Singing is, after all, just vibrating
breath! One great exercise is called the “one minute breath.” The full exercise — which I
don’t recommend starting with! — is to inhale for 20
seconds, hold your breath for 20 seconds, and then exhale for 20 seconds.

5. 2.VOCAL WARM-UPS
You’ll want to warm up your voice before working on your
gospel song. A nice easy exercise is to sing “mah- mah-
mah-mah-mah” on a major triad — for women, perhaps
start on the G major triad below middle C, and for men,
you can start on the C major triad an
octave below middle C. Then you can warm up on
some of the other pure vowel sounds, including “meh-
meh-meh-meh-meh,” “mee-mee-mee-mee-mee,”
“moh-moh-moh-moh-moh,” and “moo-moo-moo-moo-
moo.” Work your way down to your lowest note in
half-steps and then back up to your highest note in
half-steps.

6. 3. CHOOSE YOUR SONG
Next, try singing along with
several gospel singers whom you
admire. If you can hit all the notes
that they are hitting, that is a great
song to start with. If you find a
singer whose voice is similar to
yours, then you can learn a bunch
of her or his s ongs and build your
gospel repertoire.

7. 4. ISOLATE A LICK
Almost every gospel singer out there has some vocal
tricks up her sleeve! Take the song “Amazing Grace”,
for example
— the first “A” might have six or eight or more notes
associated with it. Mahalia Jackson, on one version of
the song, sings the G and A below middle C for six
notes before hitting middle C on “-maz.” That is seven
notes and we haven’t even finished one word! It is a
good idea to break down the entire vocal line and
practice it slowly at first, until you can gradually sing it
note for note with Mahalia or whomever you enjoy
singing with.

8. 5.REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT!
Any vocal style worth studying is going to take a large chunk of time to
really get a feel for its ins and outs. Spend at least a few years studying
gospel singing — developing your repertoire, your vocal lines, and
eventually your own personal style — with a singing instructor who
specializes in the genre.
