Description:
Sharpness, in my experience with beginning singers and singing in choirs myself, is much less common than flatness. The opposite of falling flat, pulling sharp is singing above the intended pitch.
I’ll again outline the most common reasons you might go sharp, with a tip to help you. They are: singing in a key that’s too low, having excess energy, and failing to stay grounded in the body. Let's take a look at each more closely.
