The simple answer i tell people's when they ask is it necessary ? to know about music theory is that if you want to become a doctor, you should know something about human body. The same goes for music theory and singing.
To become better at singing ,you should understand how melodies, rhythms or harmonies work. Knowing some basics of music theory will help you understand songs you are singing – how they are composed, how notes create melodies, how harmonies work.
Music Theory
Music theory is the gut of music .Think of music theory as a set of tools — explanations, vocabulary, ideas — that make you a better, and faster, music learner. Being able to see immediately that that particular passage is really just an F minor scale, and not just a bunch of individual notes, can cut your learning time in half.As a vocal scientist says, He doesnt like the word music theory .He prefers the term “music literacy”, which is the ability to understand, speak, read and write music in a way that has been accepted by musicians. Is not that what every singer wants?
Sound
Pitch or frequency is a measure of how often air moves back and forth in a unit of time. The faster the air moves, the higher the pitch.
Dynamics or amplitude is a measure of volume or how much air moves back and forth in a unit of time. The more air is moved in a unit of time, the louder the sound.
Timbre is the sound colour given by the way air moves back and forth or by the combination of air vibrations.
Articulation, also known as envelope, describes how a sound starts, is held and released (in other words how sound is initiated, sustained and released).
Lastly, sound duration is an important sound element represented by notes of different time values telling us how long a sound lasts.
Now i'm not gong to explain all but what is necessary it is not complete (singing lesson 1 half )
