    Explanation
    A choir is not a singing style because it refers to a group of singers who perform together, rather than a specific genre or technique of singing. Choirs can perform a variety of musical styles, including opera, gospel, and jazz, but the term "choir" itself does not describe a distinct singing style. Instead, it refers to the collective act of singing by a group of individuals.

    D. Bass
    Explanation
    The vocal types listed in the question are all female vocal types except for Bass. Soprano, Contralto, and Mezzo-soprano are all commonly recognized as female vocal ranges.

    Treble is the correct answer because it refers to the highest range of musical notes, typically associated with the voices of pre-pubescent children. It is a term commonly used in music to describe the pitch range of young singers before their voices deepen during puberty. Baritone, tenor, and bass, on the other hand, refer to lower vocal ranges and are not specific to pre-pubescent children.

This field focuses on understanding and developing effective methods and approaches for teaching individuals how to sing.

    • A.

      Abdomen flat

    • B.

      Head facing forward

    • C.

      Feet together

    • D.

      Shoulders down and back

    Correct Answer
    C. Feet together
    Explanation
    Feet together is not a component of an ideal singing posture because having the feet together restricts the movement and balance of the body. In singing, it is important to have a stable and grounded stance, and having the feet slightly apart allows for better stability and freedom of movement. This also helps in maintaining proper alignment of the body and allows for proper breathing and support while singing.

People of all ages can learn to sing and improve their vocal abilities with practice and training. Whether someone starts singing at 3 years old or 70 years old, it is never too late to begin their musical journey.

      Singing in the shower

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Singing in the shower is not a way of becoming a singer because it is a private activity that does not involve performing or showcasing one's talent to an audience or industry professionals. While promoting oneself, finding opportunities, and developing skills are all common ways for aspiring singers to pursue a career in music, singing in the shower is not a recognized or effective method for achieving that goal.

    • D.

    Correct Answer
    A. Keeping to one self
    Explanation
    Keeping to oneself is not a way an aspiring singer can promote themselves because promotion requires reaching out to others and sharing their talent. By keeping to oneself, the singer limits their opportunities to showcase their skills and connect with potential fans or industry professionals. Promotion often involves networking, performing live, sharing demos, and utilizing online platforms to reach a wider audience.

    Dancing with the stars is not a singing competition because it focuses on dancing skills rather than vocal abilities. The show pairs professional dancers with celebrities, who compete against each other in various dance styles. While American Idol, The Voice, and X-Factor are all singing competitions where contestants showcase their singing talents, Dancing with the stars is centered around dancing performances.
