    Hi all, I've been doing the beginner warm up exercises daily and using a digital tuner (and melodyne to track vocals) I've noticed I am singing off pitch. Should I slow the exercise down and focus on pitch accuracy? Or should I not worry too much about pitch accuracy at this stage? Thanks for any help you can give

    Depends on how far off you are! It's normal to be within 5 cents of the pitch (and still sound "in tune" to the human ear). 

    However, I do think slowing down and working on pitch accuracy is a great idea. Once you're confidently singing a pattern in tune (like a 13531 pattern), it'll be easier to stay in tune when the exercise modulates. 

    I made this series on singing in tune, too - check it out!
