And you're so right… a person should practice hitting the pitch dead on instead of slurring… hey thx for the idea, thinking about a post on that now… and will look forward to your ideas there as well!

The most important of course is that your ear be trained to recognize the "right" pitch. There are times when a tired voice sags or excitement or nerves send us sharply awry.
Our daughter lives in London, England and loves to go to concerts at Royal Albert Hall. One concert she attended she vows never to go to again as one of the professional singers sang entirely flat. Unfortunately, our daughter seemed to be the only person there who heard it as at the end they stood and clapped. Thankfully, most are exceptional and deserve the accolades they receive.
With amateurs, I have them picture landing on the note like a parachutist. That way they don't strain up or down. The trick is to only sing once they have reached the target. No slurring allowed. Slurring – now that is a topic for another day. Kitty
