Abstract
The purpose of this review of literature was to identify ways to help varying levels of novice singers manage and improve their vocal pitch matching ability. The review identified the work of prominent pedagogues and researchers. The literature review revealed that techniques aiding the novice singer yield varying levels of success. Most of the research showed that remedial techniques work best in small groups, one-on-one settings, and solo singing. The research did not address the issue of effective teaching and its effect with regard to student achievement (e.g., classroom management and issues related to effective or ineffective teaching ability).

Comments
I prepared this literature review to expand my knowledge of techniques to help novice singers so that they could become successful additions to a general choir setting. I found the techniques will help increase the focus of study as well as give the student ownership of their learning.
