Answer The ability to sing in tune is not a thing that can be taught (however can be improved)
but is an entity that is genetic. parts of the brain are specific to "singing" this comes from our ape like ancestry and is a recessive character. hence the minority of people are able to sing in the same way that there are less blonde people, the "brunette" gene is dominant. talking from a first hand perspective (having the ability to sing) i can see that it has been passed down from my mothers side of the family and very little effort if required for me, personally, to sing in tune over a wide vocal range. i am 15 years old so my voice box is not full developed and over time, my vocal range will improve and will mature.
Answer*That is because some people do not sing from their diaphragm so they sing out their nose or throat and it doesn't come out as good.
Everybody can sing, it is only the listener who says that a person cannot sing. A person may be said to be tone deaf, but if one listens carefully to the so called "off" notes one will find that it is indeed singing. Any sequence of notes made by the voice are in themselves music. We are so used to listening to "perfectly pitched notes" that anything different is not pleasing to the ear. Each "off" note is in itself a perfectly pitched note.
Listen to an instrument playing the chromatic scale, some notes you will like while the in between notes may sound unpleasant to you, yet all are perfect.
**this also depends on the depth of your voice for example if you have a deep base voice your not going to be singing an opera. and if you have a high soprano you wouldn't be singing a sound written for people with a deeper voice. i know this because i teach at a school as an choir teacher.
*The diaphragm provides "support" for your singing, and has to do with breath not the actual pitches produced.
**Note: Those who are bases may sing operas if they wish to. There is no law, as I know it, currently against it. Although...there are some bases who should be outlawed from singing. Namely, those who cannot sing. And although they may technically "sing" as outlined above, that does not mean that they are good at it.
To answer the question:The ability to sing ON KEY is a talent one is born with. While the mechanics of singing can be taught, the "ear" for it cannot. Like any other talent, some people have it, some people don't.
AnswerUnless you don't have functional vocal cords, you should be able to sing. Singing doesn't necessarily mean it's on key or other folks will think it's pleasant. There are many ways to sing. Answer99.55% of the people on this planet can learn to sing, the hardest thing to develop is resonance and tone. The ear is the easiest thing to develop because all you have to do is practice listening (and try to describe what you heard)! Seriously!Source: 3 years of college level vocal training.
Additional information:
While genetics do play a HUGE role in a person's 'range' ((the notes they can hit)) even if they can't hit the 'perfect' notes as deemed by society, the strength of one's muscles in the vocals also play an almost equally large role in one's musical range. If it's too weak, and under-excersized, then one simply wont be able to hit higher or lower notes, nor will they be able to project their voice. This is the aspect musical classes focus on, the strengthening of these vocal muscles. It is also why people who start singing early will be better singers, where-as people who started singing at a high-school choir will not be as good for a long while. The person's genetic make-up will restrict just how much your muscles can be stretched, but practice can enhance it a bit.
What are the positive effects of singing?
Depends upon the kind of singing you wish to do. If it's a serious study of the voice to improve your existing voice, the benefits are fairly obvious: constructive use of the brain, developing refined listenng skills and encouraging increasing lung capacity, all of which aids to overall good health. If you really want to be good at it, all of the aforementioned things must be in place.
If you are talking strictly about recreational singing, it mostlly can promote social skills and 'feel-good' manner.

The phone number belonged to Jenny. The song was performed by Tommy Tutone and released in 1982. Alex Call wrote it, and he has stated that there was no "Jenny" in real life. It was all an exercise in composition - and made for a good song. The phone number was a valid one in a number of different area codes, and there were more than a handful of angry people who were taking calls at all hours from people who were asking for Jenny. In an interview, Call, who shares songwriting credits with Jim Keller, said they took some serious heat over the situation and were told in no uncertain terms never to do anything like that again. Got a link if you want it. It's to the Wikipedia article, and you can find more information there as well as links to other same-topic posts. All for fee.

It's very important to know your highest, lowest, and most comfortable notes to sing. Then find a song where all the notes are within your comfortable range. It's best if you have a few notes up near the top, but that you can still sing comfortably, without strain.
Try to find a song that you like and your voice is strong enough 4 it
Hope i helped :D
Can you lose your singing voice permenantly?
Yes. And no. Technique is the key to not loosing your singing voice and causing damage to the vocal folds. Vocal rest and (in extreme cases) surgery in the form of removing vocal nodules cures such problems (not good). Vocal nodules are pollups or blisters that can form on the focal folds (chords) due to inproper overuse. Proper singing technique is very difficult to master. Because the act of singing takes on very personal psychological and spiritual connotations, using the body as an instrument is a very delicate, vulnerable, and liberating experience. Muscle memory, posture and breath control are key factors in singing. To not loose ones singing voice it is vital to have a comprehensive understanding of the body: the skeleton, the respiratory system, and the vocal apparatus. Open a book on the human body. Explore Feldenkrais and esp. Alexander Technique to understand how to use your body with maximum efficiently and avoid damaging the voice. Instances of damaging singing inc. a hoarse voice singing, a sore throat and back pain. Think of grounding your feet and raising your head, so as you sing you are being pushed/pulled both down and upwards. Not loosing your voice will take gathering info. from many sources and people of different disciplines. One voice teacher seldom has all of the answers. Lastly, discover your diaphragm. You don't have concious control over your diaphragm, but learning what it does and how you can use it through breathing is vital to good singing technique. After you train your body, you can sing from your heart. Singing is spiritual athletisism.
