When it comes to singing, practice makes perfect, and every budding singer needs a repertoire of songs that they can use to practice. During the beginning stages of your singing journey it can be confusing knowing which songs are good to practice and which would be too challenging.
In this article we break down a few easy songs to sing for beginners female singers for you to integrate into your vocal practice. Read on below to discover the songs!
Abba - Dancing Queen
There are many entries from Swedish legends ABBA which could have made this list, but we feel that “Dancing Queen” is the definitive practice song. Not only is the song extremely catchy, but there is also a good amount of variation between the verse and chorus sections, allowing you to really flex your vocal muscles and explore your range.
As with most ABBA songs, Dancing Queen is also fun to sing along with your friends thanks to its backing vocal parts and accompanying harmonies. Try starting your next singing practice session with Dancing Queen and using this song to warm up your voice.
Taylor Swift - Out Of Style
Next on our list of easy songs to sing for female beginners we have “Out Of Style” by Taylor Swift. This song is ideal for beginners as the melodies it uses are very simple. The chorus melody for example is mainly based around one note, allowing you to focus on your vocal tone without having to worry too much about changing pitch.
We recommend Out Of Style to new singers who are looking for simple songs to practice, so they can feel more comfortable singing and boost their confidence.
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
Continuing on our theme of songs with one note melodies, we have the massive hit “Call Me Maybe” by pop artist Carly Rae Jepsen. This song was a mainstay in the charts for many weeks after its release and was impossible to escape. It has since solidified itself as one of the biggest songs of the 2010s.
Call Me Maybe is similar to the last entry in our list as it uses a one note melody in the chorus, making it a very easy song to pick up and learn. The lyrics and phrasing allow for significant rests between vocal lines making this song very comfortable for new singers when it comes to controlling your breath.
Spice Girls - Wannabe
There's little debate that the Spice Girls were THE girl group of the 1990s. The lyrics from their hit single “Wannabe” are etched into the minds of all girls who grew up during this period, making it a hugely accessible track for singers who are just beginning.
Wannabe contains multiple voices (one for each member) allowing you to flaunt the different shades of your vocal personality for each one. The melodies are not only extremely catchy and easy to remember, but also fit into a range that will be comfortable for most female voice styles. There are also a lot of rhythmic vocal elements in this song, with some sections almost being delivered aws a rap. This makes Wannabe an excellent song to warm up with and to work on your vocal delivery.
Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl
Katy Perrys “I Kissed a Girl” is another catchy pop hit that combines simple yet effective melodies along with memorable lyrics. This song follows a very familiar pop structure making it easy to learn and does not push the voice too hard in terms of volume or pitch. Most of the main melodies found in the verse and chorus sections span over a single octave, which is a comfortable starting point for beginners.
Katy Perry's later works take things in a more challenging direction when it comes to vocal technique. Try and start with “I Kissed a Girl” and progress on to her later hits as you grow in confidence.
Lady Gaga - Pokerface
Last but not least in our list of easy songs to sing for a female voice is “Pokerface” by Lady Gaga. As with most of Lady Gaga's work, Pokerface channels different musical elements into an infectious blend of dance-pop energy, perfect to get you hyped up during your vocal practice sessions.
Just like the Taylor Swift and Carly Rae Jepsen entries on this list, Pokerface features extensive use of a one note melody, making it a very easy song to get to grips with. The main challenge with this song will be switching between a deeper and slightly robotic style delivery in the verses to the more full-bodied singing of the chorus.
That brings us to the end of our list of easy songs to sing for beginner female singers. Thanks for checking out this post! We hope that these songs can become a part of your vocal practice routine and can help you to grow more confident in your singing abilities.
