Everyone has a name for this adornment in songs. Gospel singers really like to make melismas and there are several of them, such as Priscilla Alcântara's and Leonardo Gonçalves' melismas, which are well defined and very agile. There are also Leonardo Gonçalves' melismas, which are beautiful. Not to mention several American singers who make wonderful melismas, such as Stevie Wonder, Maria Carey, and Jessie J. They all make perfect and defined melismas. In this video, I teach the first basic step for melismas for beginners. Soon I will interview a singer who makes melismas very easily and it was through him that I began to be interested in the melisma technique. I'm still crawling, but I'm going to be a beast, just like you who also really want to learn how to make this beautiful adornment that is melismas. In today's video I'm going to give you 3 tips for you to learn how to make melismas and apply them to your interpretations. So watch until the end!

They are those sequences of notes, that is, little turns, that we hear in several songs. Mainly singers who sing blues and gospel songs. Pentatonic scales are used a lot. To learn more about pentatonic scales, click on this link: http://www.descomplicandoamusica.com/... To be considered a melisma, this sequence must be above 3 notes. Some people confuse appoggiatura with melisma. Appoggiatura is 3 notes. It is important to say here that the singer who wants to do melismas has to sing the notes that are within the musical scale, which is why learning musical scales and harmony are extremely important. Why? Because if the singer does a melisma and one or more notes are not within the musical scale, it will sound strange. It is as if you were singing out of tune. There are many singers who do these melismas by intuition. They learn a sequence of notes, apply it to the music and if the melisma fits, great. You will notice for yourself when the notes of the melisma do not fit the music. But, I will give you 3 tips to start practicing melismas. First tip: YOU NEED TO OBTAIN VOCAL AGILITY, because for melismas to be beautiful, the notes must be executed quickly and you need to have vocal agility. If you play an instrument and know how to do musical scales, you should practice vocalizations quickly. Second tip: Keep your jaw relaxed and move it to help better define the notes. Because beautiful melisma is when you hear and identify the notes. Third tip: Practice all the vowels. Because melismas are performed on the vowels and that's why you will need to practice all of them. So, did you like this video? Do you want to learn the same melismas as your idols?
