Singing Guide: The Piano Guys
Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
The Piano Guys is a group that combines classical music with modern themes and effects, creating a unique and engaging sound. Their music has been widely popularized on social media and has led them to tour around the world, and it's no surprise that singers are attempting to learn from them. Luckily, with the resources available on Singing Carrots, you can learn and perfect your singing skills to sing like one of The Piano Guys.
First things first, to learn how to sing like The Piano Guys, you need to understand their unique vocal technique. The group's covers heavily feature the use of falsetto in their singing. Falsetto is a vocal technique that produces a voice that's lighter than the chest voice and usually has a higher pitch. It is an important skill to learn if you desire to sing precisely like the group.
When learning how to sing like The Piano Guys, mastering breath support and control is essential. Singing can be compared to a marathon; you need to maintain your breathing technique to use your vocal folds and produce a sound. Singing Carrots' breathing basics article can teach you about active and passive breathing techniques, giving you the correct foundation to support your voice while producing music.
Another technique we recommend you learn is vibrato. Vibrato is a technique where a singer rapidly alternates between slightly different pitches to add texture to their voices. The Piano Guys incorporate vibrato into their vocals artistically, creating a rich and unique sound. Singing Carrots provides you with an extensive tutorial on vibrato on the "Singing with Vibrato" article.
To further perfect your vocal singing technique, you can use Singing Carrots' "Pitch Training" program and the "Vocal Pitch Monitor" tool. Then, practice singing the group's songs, such as their famous cover of Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years." If you want to find songs that match your vocal range or difficulty level, you can use our song search tool. Singing Carrots' educational singing course covers vocal techniques, breathing, voice types, and much more.
Finally, since The Piano Guys are primarily known for their instrumental pieces, focus on learning how to sing and perform outside of your comfort zone, and showcase your emotion and artistry in your vocals, so that your voice resonates with the group's unique instrumental prowess.
With the resources that Singing Carrots provides, combining your hard work and patience, you will undoubtedly be able to sing like The Piano Guys and even surprise yourself with your singing abilities!
