Given that the mechanisms of singing are so complicated, it makes sense that there could be some people who have a natural ability to do this better than others – simply because of the makeup of their genes. To further complicate things, this “dance” between your vocal chords and brain happens while you may be doing a completely different activity at the same time… which is very impressive.’ ‘As you sing, your brain identifies the new pitch, determines if it matches, and adjusts the vocal muscles if needed. ‘After you hear a note, your brain identifies (or attempts to identify) the pitch and decides which vocal muscles are needed to produce a similar sound. It may seem simple, however, matching the musical pitch is actually a very complex process, with complex genetics,’ Alisa Lehman, senior product scientist at 23andMe tells .uk. ‘When our favourite Christmas classics begin blasting out of the radio, our brains process the opening notes, and we begin to sing along. As it turns out, genetics are involved in singing ability – which might be the difference between improving to the point where you can hold a tune, and actually becoming a really good singer. This is where the slightly less good news comes in. A recent Canadian study found that about 1.5% of the population have a condition called ‘congenital amusia’ – which causes real difficulty discriminating between different pitches, tone, and sometimes rhythm.īut if you don’t have this condition, there’s no real reason why you shouldn’t be able to get better at singing. In fact, there are only a few people who really wouldn’t have the capacity to improve their singing ability. If you are able to hear the difference between notes, put in the work to understand the mechanics of singing, and are relatively quick at identifying your errors – you should be able to improve and get better at singing. Historic studies suggest that most people can be taught to sing. Well, according to science, there’s good news and bad news on this.

But what if I put my mind to it and really dedicated time to learning how to sing – could I get as good as Becky? Is it something you can get better at if you’re not naturally blessed?
