what is the difference between singing off key and singing out of tune?
In: 11
They are pretty much interchangeable terms when it comes to singing (IMHO) A singer can only produce one note at a time (mostly) so ‘technically’ the singer is really singing out of tune if they sing the incorrect notes.
For instruments, being out of tune might mean that the instrument has not been tuned properly. Although the player is doing the ‘right’ thing, the instrument is not producing the correct note.
Being off key is when the player has misunderstood what key signature the song is to be played in. The instrument is correctly tuned but the player is playing the incorrect notes or chords for the song.
