    Which of the following is not a way an aspiring singer can promote themselves? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is not a way an aspiring singer can promote themselves?

    • Keeping to one self

    • Refine oneself

    • Send out demo

    • Get connected online

    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.

    • Singing in the shower

    Correct Answer
    A. Singing in the shower
    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.

    Which of the following term is used when considering the voices of pre-pubescent children? - ProProfs

    Which of the following term is used when considering the voices of pre-pubescent children?

    • Baritone

    • Tenor

    • Bass

    • Treble

    Correct Answer
    A. Treble
    Explanation
    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.

    Which of the following is not a singing style?

    • Choir

    • Opera

    • Gospel

    • Jazz

    Correct Answer
    A. Choir
    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.

    Which of the following is not a component of an ideal singing posture? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is not a component of an ideal singing posture?

    • Abdomen flat

    • Head facing forward

    • Feet together

    • Shoulders down and back

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.
