singing facts

"empty or­ches­tra". In Japan, it has long been common to provide musical en­ter­tain­ment at a dinner or a party. In 1971, Daisoki Inoue, a Japanese drummer mu­si­cian, made a tape recorder-­like machine that played songs for a 100-yen coin each - and leased them out so that the stores did not have to buy new songs on their own. Soon, new busi­ness­es called karaoke boxes, with com­part­ment­ed rooms, became popular.

Liv­er­pool F.C. The song, which was once a radio hit, is sung by Liv­er­pool Football Club sup­port­ers moments before the start of each home game. The words "You'll Never Walk Alone" also feature in the club crest and on the Shankly Gate entrance to Anfield, the home stadium. It is probably most widely known football club anthem in the world, adopted later by other teams (Celtic, Feyeno­ord, Borussia Dort­mund).

The Col­oratu­ra soprano. A very agile light voice with a high upper ex­ten­sion, capable of fast vocal col­oratu­ra. Lyric col­orat­uras have a range of ap­prox­i­mate­ly middle C (C4) to high F (F6). The term "col­orat­u­ra" refers to the elab­o­rate or­na­men­ta­tion of a melody.

Solfège is a singing tech­nique used to teach pitch. The last of seven syl­la­bles is "si". However, in An­glo-Sax­on coun­tries, it was changed to "ti" by Sarah Glover in the nine­teenth century so that every syllable might begin with a dif­fer­ent letter.

Mi. Solmiza­tion is a system of at­tribut­ing a distinct syllable to each note in a musical scale. The seven syl­la­bles commonly used for this practice in En­glish-s­peak­ing coun­tries are: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and ti. In other lan­guages, si is used for the seventh scale tone.
