How To Sing Amazing Grace

Hello Singers! Today I’m going to teach you to how to sing Amazing Grace. This a simple and beautiful song that is perfect practice for beginners and advanced singers. “Amazing Grace” has a lot of great vocal training opportunities- big jumps, long held notes, melodic interpretation & improvisation (riffs and runs) and harmony singing. In this article you’ll find the lyrics, chords and sheet music (in two different keys!) as well as an accompaniment track and a practice track with the melody played on the piano.

How To Sing Amazing Grace

“Amazing Grace” is most often found written in the key of G- this is a good key for Sopranos, Tenors and Baritones (high/medium high voices). Print out the sheet music so you can look at it/make notes as you practice with the piano track.

Song Study

Choosing songs that have a lot of good vocal training opportunities is a fun way to develop your voice. Songs that require a lot of breath control, have big melodic jumps and long held notes are great for improving your singing skills. Hymns, musical theater songs and folk/art songs are a perfect place to start. This book is my favorite to use with students who are looking to strengthen their voices and gain breath support– Folk Songs For Solo Singers- Medium High Voice, Folk Songs For Solo Singers- Medium Low Voice

This book comes with an accompaniment CD to practice with (it’s like having a great piano player at your disposal!)
