How To Sing High Notes
Since the dawn of modern singing, it seems as though the world has become obsessed with "hitting the high note".
But I think we need to take a closer look at why this is difficult and what else is involved in hitting this high note consistently and accurately.
What is incredibly overlooked is that building strength in the middle voice before the high note is the very foundation that helps us hit that high note over and over again with consistency.
In other words, a famous opera tenor named Caruso once said: "The deeper the roots, the taller the trees".
His point is that you must have that high note anchored in something that can sustain it.
Turns out that building stamina in the middle voice with confidence gives you not only the ability to buttress or "hold up" that high note, but the confidence to relax the body enough to hit that high note without strain or stress.
And the more we strengthen our voices from the ground up, the more consistency we have in hitting those high notes over and over.
I have a whole huge section on this in my singing course.

3:28 WOW, can we just talk about how effortlessly he sang through 3 OCTAVES right there?? The proof is in the singing indeed! And Ken is one hell of a singer!
Thanks, Andy!
Gracias Ken! btw what is the range here?
As a beginner, what were those notes?
Easy

6 weeks into volume 1. Ken's course is AMAZING and he is an absolutely incredible coach!
True story: I bought Ken's course a couple years ago.
I now play in a "working" band. We play range of music including Foreigner (Feels Like The First Time, Hot Blooded), Boston (Foreplay Longtime), U2 (Vertigo) and The Darkness (I believe in a Thing Called Love).
I've had 3 random people come up to me (all at different gigs) and ask me how I sing so well!
One person said "you play until 1am... how does your voice get better as the night goes on?"
I tell them the same thing: Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy!
Awesome!
Awesome
Wow, I am working on getting my voice back in shape after a few years in retirement. The fact you can pull off Boston alone is amazing, When I performed I had a lot of people tell me I was a great singer, but the higher notes, like you hear in classic Boston, always alluded me.
I don't want to sound cheesy but i freaking prayed to find a channel like this. Music is my whole thing and im a vocalist as a personal passion. I dont do much with it but ive been taking my singing seriously for a few years, for no real reason other than that its what i want to do, just for sake of doing it. I am a 30 year old woman and my range is not of the typical feminine but I thrive in the 80s glam rock. No other channel has truly provided what I have needed, by teaching, examples, and most importantly, my type of voice and range. I cant believe I stumbled upon this.
This guy deserves the internet's top award.
Its not just that he teaches, speaks well, is clearly respectful and eloquently open-minded, and knows music and how to explain it - its that there's a heart behind his demeanor and presence...
Many blessings
12:21 cracked me up. You are a well rounded teacher. Funny, informative, genuine, entertaining, skilled and just cool in general.
Ken cracks me up. He basically does 15 minute video without and edits except when he needs his guitar. Nothing says amateur like edits every 30 seconds. The BEST vocal coach period.
Thanks a lot Ken. My neighbor knocked on my door and asked if I was okay. (I was singing along with you) So I explained that I’m okay, I’m doing a voice exercise with my vocal instructor. That changed her attitude right away. She saw my guitar hanging on the wall and said, “Wow, so you’re a musician then?” (She’s new our building) Everyone else knows I try to keep my singing at a low volume and my guitar through an amp and headphones. I said, “Yes, I’ve been a musician for over forty years and now I’m learning to sing from the best teacher I know. Sorry to bother you.”
She nodded, “That’s so cool. Keep doing your thing. My name is Wendy.” (I told her my real name) “I know vocal exercises sound like a crazy person sometimes, and this apartment building is full of crazy people, so I understand your concern. I’m fine. Really.”
Anyway, you got me in trouble again with the voice exercise thing, but it’s all good. I made a new friend who thought I might need an ambulance.
I think I’ll plug in my guitar and headphones for a couple hours of silent practice and do my singing on the barges where I can go full volume and not disturb my neighbors, who are mostly fish.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Day and thanks again for your incredible voice lessons. You’re the best, man.
Aloha from Seattle.🤙🏼
I have a really funny story for you about that. A few years back I was Recording Bon Jovi's "Living on a prayer". In order to make the chorus sound right you have to stack a lot of vocals. And I mean a lot of vocals, like 40 tracks. As I sang the chorus over and over "Woah oh living on a prayer" my sweet elderly neighbor named Ron came banging on my door saying "Ken are you OK Ken are you OK" . He thought I was screaming "hey Ron I need help!" Gotta love your neighbors ha ha
😂😂 I feel you. My neighbor checked on me too.
My neighbors probably hear me singing a lot. But they never say anything!
Ken is an awesome singer and teacher, and a true gentleman and scholar - if every singing student had a teacher half as good as Ken the world would truly sing in perfect harmony.
That's kind of youo!
The power of desire. Even after they told you, "You can't do it." You went and did it. Thanks for the inspiration.
This lesson alone is worth the price of your singing course! :)
I was with you, man all the way through the E6. but then you lost me because goodness knows I love shouting at people...when singing, when driving, when yelling at my boys! Shouting is the best.😝
Does anyone give out an award for the best faces made while singing scales? If so, Ken wins hands down.
Your humor, talent, and hair is drawing me in! So far this has helped!! Thank you so much! I was losing hope haha😂
I started performing when I was 10 or so. I could sing ANY high note..... I stopped performing about age 40. I stopped performing totally. AMAZING, in about 3 months, something happened to me which usually happens to boys at about age 12; my voice dropped. Considerably. As time has went by, my throat muscles had atrophied to where my range was severely restricted. I now have a great, deep voice.....but no range. Finding this video in my late 60's (as I once again re-enter the performing world) has been a Godsend to me. It brought back all those excercises I had in college as a music major and reminded me that everything is about musclature and of course, that old saying: "If you don't USE it, you LOSE it.". I'm taking these exercises to heart and even after a short period of time and finding an amazing recapture of some of my range.......with expectations of building back a good performing range. Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm now a subscriber and will check out all your other videos. I owe you a big one for this.
This is exactly what my wife wants to be subjected to on a Friday evening over here in the UK..... She's watching Love Island, I'm watching Ken Tamplin... #winning
That's awesome!
Some people are just really good instructors. Thank you for taking your time to make and post your videos. I` appreciate you. Rob
Wow Ken! That note BLEW MY MIND! You MUST be a vocal GOD!
I found you by accident trying to learn how I can hit Tony Lewis "Your Love" better... actually was looking to see what others did that have issue with the pitch... I can "almost" hit it.
But then I accidently found you.. and instead of learning to sing it lower I think I may be able to get it.
splendid vids
Dude! You add the science to the art! Years ago, I was told by a pro singer to never sing beyond my range. This lesson debunked that myth. I'm gonna work at this.
“This is where we start, we give ourselves permission.” My favourite, motivation for today.
Thank you Ken for all the great content :)
It's wonderful encountering a vocal coach who actually has The Answers. Wasn't looking for a vocal coach (not that couldn't use one but my life plate was more than full other ways) but Jesus dropped you in my sidebar & now I'm also an academy attendee because the cliche 'you're the real deal' applies. In a short time I've had impossibles evaporate & look forward to using some of your stuff to delivering more of my stuff. God bless you, Ken, your success is well deserved from all your valuable material just like this video, full of barrier breakers.
8:06 - 11:30 Once again Ken, you've done it again. Thank you for your help. I've grown as a singer by taking your video lessons.
Myles Kennedy (AlterBridge) often speaks about using Bel Canto and using his muscles used to ‘pee’ to support his 4 octave vocal range. He is in his 50’s and maintains near perfect pitch and vocal control both on record and live in all his crazy high notes!
Great singer. Great band!
Myles is an awesome singer I’m a big fan
Am i the only one who loves this teacher!?? Wow. This is awesome great content ! Stay blessed 😇
Thank you! 😃
👍👍
Man your videos have helped me
My voice is really improving
After doing this for a couple of days, I got to E5 without a break in my voice, but the most comfortable note is a D5 for me. Still having a bit of an issue on singing actual songs in lower notes and the tone, but it's coming along. Thank you Ken!
Recorded a new song this weekend and my friend who I mix with said “yo your voice is a lot more confident. It was before, but now it sounds a lot clearer and effortless.”
Thanks Ken🤙🏽
That's awesome!
I really love this dude. No, jive. I've been collecting his advise years before I got serious and became a 3.0 student How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else.
I love to hear you teach. You're one of the best teachers on UA-cam of ANYTHING. You could probably make videos on putting up fences, software development, and oil painting. They'd get as many views and followers because your presentation is so good. :)
OMG! You make sense. So glad I found you.
Coming soon from Ken Tamplin: “How to play soccer better than anyone else” ;)

Can you do a video for John Miles & Greg Lake?
Bel canto=(transl.)good/nice singing.Bel is short/contraction for belLO=nice/pretty/good/also eufemistic for wonderful.

Is Sammy's well?Happy Holidays to both of you.
One from most important lesson during a last years....👍
Wonderful!
Thanks, Ken! You just solved a mystery for me as to why I could hit a high note in one place of certain songs, but miss the same high note at the end. Much appreciated!
Happy to help!
I love that you spent the last five minutes or so explaining vowel placement, timbre, and the passagio relative to bel canto; but not actual mention you were describing the bel canto foundation. Your approach is excellent. It's not nebulous or impractical. It's easy to conceptualize and visualize. Similarly, Luciano Pavarotti conducted a master class years ago and had the student--a young tenor--imagine his voice was a trumpet producing a bright, forward sounding note with the same quality. When it comes to singing, there's so much more to teaching than just spewing out a bunch of technical jargon. 👍👍
The late John Miles also in a Pavarotti&Friends in Italy.
Amen
You're right about other coaches on high notes. I was taught so much about head register, and dealt with the embarrassing passaggio hiccup. Broke free from that, and now following your lead, and sounding much better for it.
So happy to have found this channel. Aside from just seeming like a genuinely kind and caring person, you have that aire of experience that only comes with so many years of hard work. But more importantly, it is obvious that, aside from your musical talent--you have a unique gift for teaching . A lot of crazy-talented musicians suppliment their income in-between gigs with teaching. Only a small number of them teach well....likely because they do not love teaching. Thank you for this great content.
Ken, I just love you. Part of singing is feeling good about yourself and allowing that positivity to vibrate through you. Even through the video I just feel the love you have for your craft, the belief that anyone can sing and like I am allowed to sing and should be singing. Thanks. I've struggled with high notes since forever, this is the first time I've allowed myself to singing high notes without fear
Ken speaks the truth 🙏🏻. Took me many years of singing to figure all this stuff out on my own. I still learn things from these videos and get reinforcement of things that I already discovered on my own. I took some lessons from an opera singer in the early 80’s and no one spoke about head voice. I was stuck on high C for decades lol. Fear of the note is your worse enemy 😉.
Another excellent video mate. I spent a long time throttling myself to hit high notes, burning myself out, getting sore throats about once a week which really put a hamper on regular practice. When I finally worked out what over-singing was and learned to back off I realised how much range I actually had.
You are a great teacher. You make everything understandable and more simple. Thank you 😊
These lessons that you brought to youtube made a great difference on my singing even If I’m still working with my diaphragmatic support, relaxation and singing with no tension. But I greatly improved because of what you do. Thank you! I hope someday I’ll be able to afford your whole course.
I want to thank you so much for your program. You've done a lot for me. you've gave me my backbone. I've always wanted to be a singer. and not just that singer. but the singer. I'm from Eugene Oregon. and I bought your program. and I work with it. the days that I can work with it. I want to work with it. every and I do. since that day. I was 12 I can remember that I've always wanted to be a (singer) and be with your program regardless of what genre you're working with. I'm a Country Tanner . and it's absolutely made my achievements so easy. every day I practice because. (I love to sing). and it makes my day even better so I want to say for me it's not only the price but it's also the program that you put out I used it in 6 months it has made me a 10 times better singer and I'm still working with it thank you so much for your time and effort from the person Aaron Eugene Oregon country singer tinner thank you so much for this I am sure singing My Country Tunes thank you for your time
You have insane amounts of talent, Ken. My register feels so limited. This is inspiring,
The only vocal coach who can do what he preaches! Thank you ken! You're amazing !
For the first time in my life I feel like I did vocals correctly. No dizziness, no chest discomfort, no lack of air.
This was great. 🤍
This is one great effortless singer and a great coach. He is truly a dedicated master of the art of singing. Hell of a demonstration coach, this coarse is awesome and full of content for everything to do with your voice and keeping your voice healthy. I can’t recommend it highly enough and glad I purchased it helps me every week I perform.
I have always been amazed at the range and tone you have been able to sing with. You have this ability to be both singing very high notes while also maintaining a vocal tone that sounds deep. It's like you're using your chest voice and your head voice at the same time. You and David Coverdale were the only rock singers I have ever heard that could pull this off.
He can genuinely sing!
Just came over from the Steve Perry video. I'm totally new to you. I can smell a vocal coach BS-er from a mile away. There are so many terrible vocal coaches out there...frauds, really, though they don't know it themselves. I am completely unfamiliar with your teaching style, but I can tell immediately that this is the real deal. I was professionally trained in a past life, and some terminology is shared, but your method on the whole is unfamiliar to me. Still, everything you are saying is clicking with me just from my experience with my own voice. How refreshing to find someone who really knows what they're talking about. Subscribed!
i'm from Brazil, and discover this channel two days ago, and those exercises and exemples give me so much cleary road to my studies , and my mission for my new cover band is so much harder, i put the song "i remember you" on a playlist of my band, and its gave me some kind of trouble, but i'm on a trail with Kenton's lessons....thank u so much man
You are the king of online vocal teachers! Plus you got an awesome voice Ken! When I lost my speech from cancer I survived it but God said when I was praying about keeping at my dream in music... you survived cancer with your faith....believe for your speech to return then gave me Mark 9:23 and Hebrews 10:35! He loves it when we go for it! Its 98% back...doctors be like wow man this is a miracle! I love your Christian music! Keep the faith brother Ken! I'm gonna join your music academy this year! Ken Rocks!
Excellent videos as always Ken. thank you very much. 10 years ago I wouldn't have thought that I would be able to sing over an E. Hard work pays off!
Thanks for the tips Ken sometimes it's hard to hit those high notes especially in the mornings you got to let your vocals get loose and loosen up as the day goes on your voice needs to wake up gets easier to hit high notes later on in the day for me it does anyways but placement head voice chest voice up in your make all these techniques help make it easier thanks for explaining the tips Ken it helps all ways buddy👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You bet!
Thanks
Hope you had a great thanksgiving Ken
Agreed Cade, if I'm doing singing in the morning I'll usually just do an early transition in to falsetto to more work on my pitch whilst I warm up my voice.
@@kentamplin I agree with you.
Thanks Ken, I think it’s time for me to go through your academy and start somewhere. Your work is very thorough and your are a musical n vocal guru, much appreciated 🤘
Thanks Ken. I think a lot of success with high notes is mindset and plenty of experimentation, feeling your way to the notes and moving away from the perception of them being "high."
Priceless info! Thanks a lot sir Ken for the psychology of singing. Demonstration is the best way of teaching.
Truly helpful for loosing the fear of sounding like a great singer. It takes a lot of skills to make this easier than we believe, goooooaaaaallll!!
I've just come across your channel and this is the first video of yours that I'm watching. As someone who had to practise a lot to improve my voice, I find this video fascinating. My voice has a long way to go from where I'd like it to be, but I do enjoy singing low and high.
I look forward to checking out more of your teachings.
Thank you 🙂
Your "give yourself permission" point reminds me of the 4-minute mile. Nobody ever ran one, until someone did. Everyone thought it was remarkable at first, but then people started doing it daily. As Col. Potter once said on M*A*S*H*, "the body can do amazing things if the mind will let it".
Thanks for all you do!
Merci beaucoup Ken! Du Canada français, Quebec ! Thank you very much Ken! From french Canada, Quebec.
Ken, I agree! I have a similar problem at work. The management can't do the job but they also feel there is no reason the workers can't do it.
I could feel the resonance of truth in this video based upon my own experiences of learning how to sing. 👌🏾thank you for sharing this information.
Thank you Ken for another great video! As a guy who is just getting into it and who has little confidence with singing right now I appreciate the way you explain things. 👍🏻
I'm a bari who had to sing bass in college. And watching this 16 minute video had me singing past A5 for the first time since I was that castrati you mentioned. (or about 6th grade with all my equipment...) Thanks Ken!
When I got to E5 my voice cracked. 😂. That was fun!
YES, Farinelli! I love your lessons, Ken. THANK YOU!
Always a big thumbs up to your content. My singing teacher always says, you should sing songs that fit you, but i still love songs like the slow version of Take on me that isnt naturally for me, but i still force my self to be able to and despite him not liking me to do it, he supports me and today iam able to reach those high notes quite easily. Singing is so much practice and ppl tend to be unpatient ^^ i was too. Much love to all those good ppl out there.
Ken, I think you are the greatest instructor in all the land. I am so glad to have these lessons to help me sing well. I always wished - wished I could sing well. Because of you I am on my way - slowly lol !!
It´s always such a pleasure to hear you explain this things Ken, you have such a gently way of putting it, mixed with a serious and funny approach to it. :)
Ken, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! I knew that my voice can do a lot, since I joined the choir as a tenor (typical, average pitch from A - C) but in the choir I had to sing barrito because it was missing below and, to my surprise, it worked very well . Then the range became ever stronger downwards, down to the deep D. Now, just now, I sang a whole tone more than 4 octaves for the first time in my life, completely relaxed, without squeezing, with shine and a beautiful sound and almost seamlessly to the very high register - THANK YOU, you are really great and you helped a lot! The most important thing about you is that you always have the fire of enthusiasm in you. Please don't ever lose it.
I never thought these types of videos could be entertaining and informative at the same time. Some times I forget he's giving out tips. 😂
Glad you like them!
Ken, you are unbelievable, totally to the point!
You’re so great! Thank you for all the advice.
Thanks for this valuable lesson! 🙏🏽
THANK YOU Ken for another superb tutorial!
Amazing video as always! I've always been thought of as a baritone, because I hardly could get pass F#4. But there was something I couldn't get - I had even more problems singing low notes, that a baritone should be able to sing with ease. It wasn't until I had gone to music school, when I was told I'm actually a tenor. I didn't believe it, so my teacher kind of suprised me - even at the top of my range, he insisted I keep going up with the proper support and... We went up to B4 easily. Practice and technique are really the only relevant way, and despite having a break in music... Thanks to your vid I might consider going back at it 🤠 Cheers and keep up the great work, you're an amazing teacher!
This video has really helped me a lot. Thank you so much, Ken.
What a great lesson. Thank you!
You are the best teacher ever. Thank u so much
I have been watching your videos for about a month now and been practicing to the best of my ability and I noticed my voice steadily improving to the point of accidentally yawning a clear and oddly beautiful note at work, I can't wait for your next set of videos and hope to join your singing course by Christmas time as a present for myself.
Wonderful!
I never psych myself out by thinking about high notes and I relax into it which I think makes it very simple. I think some people strain to reach high notes because they think about it coming up.
I totally agree with you. Go Bri.👊
Totally agree. The psychological build up when you are coming to a specific note of concern (mine was joe cocker scream in 'help from my friends'. Try to pull back from mic and slide up to the note, god willing lol
Thanks for these. Just kept singing higher and higher with your encouragement! Must have just gained an octave in 10 minutes and not going to stop now!
Thank you Ken... you're a good teacher
I have a long way to go. I am a baritone with a top G, occasionally an A, but the other day I was doing some scale exercises and what do you know, G came up, and A was no effort, and B and C shortly thereafter with hardly an effort, and it was chest voice. Just like that - a fourth above my supposed highest note. But when I sing for real, I tense up and then blow even a G. So thanks for the info, I have joined the academy and I'm keen to improve. Instinctively, I know what it's supposed to feel like, I get it sometimes, but very often I blow chunks especially when I have to jump to the top note, and psychological apprehension sets in. Thanks for the video, your videos are really useful, positive and motivating.... and I'm looking forward to improving.
The way you articulate things is exactly how I’ve naturally come to feel them when I sign ken. I have a ways to go strengthening my head voice and passagionbut have gotten decent and transitioning between chest and head voice
This video just come to my request and I am so happy that i will enroll with this guy !!!
Thank you for this most Excellent lesson. I teach Wing Chun (martial art) and you nailed it. You really explained the missing secrets of being a master of one’s self..! Again I have been watching your videos and slowly grown to deeply respect you Ken. Thank you
I am a self taught singer and have been singing seriously for the last 8 years. I admit i am not a great singer, but folks seem to like what i do and i get paid for it. I have always felt that i could do better and since i have come across your UA-cam lessons i feel i have started to improve, and this lesson could be a big help as i tune down my guitar a whole tone so i can cover a wider range of songs. My plan is by this time next year is to be able to cover the same set but in standard tuning. I think this lesson will go a long way to helping me achieve that. Thank You.
No matter how good you are, you will still feel that you're not the best even though you are better than you think. Please don't let yourself down!
Very humble fellow and these are simply great lessons.
Great video. I'm currently rehearsing the song 'Bridge of Love' by Joy Fleming (greatest German voice ever). I'm actually working my way through the song like an athlete and Ken's video helps me a lot to stay cool and relaxed.
Ken you are a blessing thanks thanks you are the best
You are!
I'm so glad to have found your videos. I'm 68 and recently started singing in a rock band again (23 years and a thyroid surgery later). Trying to get my chops back again. My upper chest voice seems tight and not as high as it used to be. I was thinking my voice would never be the same after my surgery but after watching your videos I have hope I can get my range back. God bless you Ken!
That’s really impressive. Keep it going🤟🤟
I watched many other videos and nothing but i could start mixing watching this video. thank you so much.
Hey there Ken don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but I’ve been singing for a little over a year now and I’m having thoughts on quitting, I’m considering trying your singing course before I completely give up, I’m hoping it’ll be everything I need to get better, either way thanks Ken you’re awesome.
Love that African-intergalactic shirt! And thank you for the tips!
Any time!
Ken - wow! I never would have thought I would just happen upon this video right before bed after watching a couple old Boston videos...and I'm so glad I did! I am absolutely going to check out your course. I'm going to have sweet dreams tonight - super excited to get started!
Your such a brilliant singer and teacher 👏 ❤️
"giving yourself permission" is the same thing as "having confidence"; fear or anxiety can get in the way of a lot of things, including kicking a field goal or hitting the bleacher notes
