Learning is always a process, even in music. Choosing which song to start with might be a bit hard for beginners, especially if you are still trying to know your potential. One key to determining which song is the best for beginners is understanding your vocal strengths.

The first step in developing your skills is to find out what song suits you best. After that, you will be confident enough to move forward.

You have to consider different aspects when you want to learn about singing or playing instruments. That includes your rhythm, vocal techniques, lyrics, pitch, breathing, and posture. Besides that, you have to be very determined and motivated because things will get even more difficult when you lack one thing - and that’s interest.
