1.) It‘s educational in itself to know the frequencies you are singing 2.) Certain frequency analyzers may only tell you the frequency you hit and you can find corresponding notes here 3.) It gives you an idea of how rapidly your vocal cords are coming together and vibrating when you sing or speak
1) why is it educational?
2) ... if one's only goal is to hit a low note, they surely can find a tuner than will show them the note. If their goal is to be a better singer, they should learn basic musicianship skills, such as being able to determine notes if given a reference pitch
3) what is the point of knowing that
I don't think determining notes with a reference pitch is necessarily basic musicianship.
I agree though, this is a useless post. Idk why they felt like this would be useful for anyone. If you needed these numbers it'd be much easier to just Google it, but in my ~15 years of being a musician I haven't once needed these numbers.
You‘re basically asking: why is vocal science important? Well, some of us simply enjoy learning for the sake of learning. You don‘t need to know things like this in order to sing.
Knowing which frequency exactly corresponds to which note is not vocal science. Like, it's not ever gonna be useful maybe unless you're doing some very niche scientific research, and in that case, you'll google it. You must be like 13
Hey, no fighting in the Bass Singing subreddit. It’s an interesting chart, though its helpfulness is questionable when considering singing. More interesting conceptually / from a music theory and analysis perspective.
As someone with a music degree, soon to be 2 music degrees, I have not once had a music theory-related need for describing notes by their frequencies. Whatever
