There are so many places to take in a breath to navigate through the 1 1/2 octave song to emote the hope, struggle, and triumph of our National Anthem. The one particular passage that helped me recall those moments in the battle was to take a breath before lightly singing, 'and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air', then take in another small breath, continuing not to collapse diaphragm support to retain most of my air, and then build in more emphasis as the notes descend, 'gave proof through the night', and finally another breath transitioning the voice down to chest with power and resolve to punctuate victoriously, 'that our flag was still there.' I praise God each passage gave me to moments to recall more clearly those words Francis Scott Key penned after he witnessed the flag pole remaining standing in Fort McHenry.
The reason why the American national anthem is hard to sing is the words come from a poem and the music comes from an English song called to Anacreon in heaven
I know you posted this years ago, hoping you see this. I'm singing it at the local rodeo in a few weeks. Pretty sure we have the same range. I chose G as well because that is stretching my low range haha. Any outfit suggestions? I have cowboy boots, but was wondering what you would suggest as far as attire?
Oh I do wish I could sing, anyway, I just watched Christina Aguilera totally kill the American National Anthem! OMG!!! I’m sorry but she totally messed it up. I’m a musician by the fact I used to play blues harp for a while. So have an idea what is and isn’t right. To me, not sure what she did but it was terrible. Sorry if your a fan, but your tips are great, pick the best key and keep it simple. And I’d like to add if I may, don’t make it any bigger than it already is. The whole World has an idea of how the anthem goes. I’m a Brit, and I don’t know my National Anthem. That’s only cos it’s as boring as ever!
The idol worshippers are glorifying the star spangled of heaven through the pledge of allegiance to the flag and anthem. God is against the star spangled of heaven.
Tener una maestra como está es fastidiosisimo se altera y alega más que enseñar ,cuando les toque una maestra así protesten , en indique le como debe enseñaa
Lol I wouldn’t even put the US anthem in my top 5 of hardest anthems. South Africa 🇿🇦, New Zealand 🇳🇿 and Canada’s anthems are all worse than the American one

Put a Bluetooth earphone in playing the key. Take it out right before you sing.
