BAST founder Line Hilton joins Alexa to discuss the best vocal exercises for pitch accuracy training. You’ll find lots of helpful information on perceived tone deafness, singing and the premenstrual voice, navigating matching pitch, whether being ‘pitchy’ is a thing, props you can use in your lessons, and of course, some amazing vocal exercises you can use with your singing students. 

KEY MOMENTS
 
‘I really object to the fact that when someone says they can’t sing in tune they’re labelled as tone deaf’ 

‘Less than 4 or 5 percent of the population suffer from amusia’

‘Saying someone is pitchy doesn’t mean anything’ 

‘There are many great performers out there who sometimes sing out of tune’
