   Hi There,
   Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "(art) of the Muses".[1]
   
   The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts", music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art.
   
   To many people in many cultures music is an important part of their way of life. Greek philosophers and ancient Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound."[2] According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez, "the border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus.... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be, except that it is 'sound through time'."

   Step 1
   
         Work on your breathing techniques. The higher ranges require more breath but this can kill your low notes. Increase breath intake gradually when moving to the higher notes during your vocal exercises.
     
         Step 2
   
         Breathe in while pushing your stomach out five times before doing your warm up exercises. Notice what your diaphragm is doing when you sing the notes. Correct use of these muscles makes playing between the ranges effortless.
     
         Step 3
   
         Do your warm-up vocal exercises with care. Start with the lowest note that's comfortable for you to sing and travel up to the highest note you can without straining your voice.
     
         Step 4
   
         Access your chest voice by working on the lower ranges. Notice where you feel the notes vibrating. This will help you when you start to work on your head voice.
     
         Step 5
   
         Relax your singing muscles by concentrating on your diaphragm and jaw. You should be moving your abdomen out when you inhale. Your jaw should move freely so the vowels come out clearly but not exaggerated.
     
         Step 6
   
         Practice your head voice by singing an open vowel like the short "a" or "e" sound. Feel the note vibrate in the back of your nose. Take care the vowels don't sound nasally.
     
         Step 7
   
         Perform vocal range exercises by switching between low and high notes. Use the power of your diaphragm and the manipulation of breathing.
     
         Step 8
   
         Increase your range by feeling the lower notes vibrating somewhere between your chest and nasal passages.
   
   Hope that helps,
