Music has different characters that can affect someone's mood to a certain degree. Playing or singing your favorite songs can instantly charge you up, make your mood better, get you excited, and so on. This is why music is such an important part of our lives and we are constantly surrounded by music. Be it games, commercials, promotions, and literally anything, you will find beats, rhythms, and music in it. If you go around and try to find someone who doesn't listen to any kind of music, you will fail because anyone and everyone is interested in some kind of music. Which means we have a whole lot of singers between us. If you are interested in singing and want to pursue this as a career or even just a hobby, then singing a cappella is a great way to improve your vocals.
If you are wondering whether there are any tracks that you can perform without any musical instruments, then you have come to the right place. Let's get to the top 4 songs that you can easily sing without any musical instruments.
1. Nursery Rhymes
This might seem strange, but one of the great ways to improve or just start a cappella is with nursery rhymes, especially if you are an aspiring singer. At first, you would need to work on what type of voice you have, which means finding out whether you are a tenor or baritone. This will further help you decide which songs you should learn to sing. Here you will also develop self-confidence in your vocals as you will not have any instruments to back you up. If you are looking to sing a song without any instrument, nursery rhymes are a great start for you since these rhymes can make anyone's voice seem good without putting too much effort. Some of the popular nursery rhymes you can try out are - The Wheels on the Bus, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Incy Wincy Spider, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Humpty Dumpty, etc.

2. ‘Sir Duke’ by Stevie Wonder
‘Sir Duke’ by Stevie Wonder is a song encompassing a vocal melody so compelling that you will not need any instrument to sing in the first place. If you want to properly learn how to sing this song, look up versions of the track where the vocals have been isolated. If you have audio software at home, you can also do it by yourself. For a cappella groups, the melody of the brass sections works wonderfully for which you can find several examples online. The history behind the song is pretty cool too as the singer wrote the song as a tribute to one of his heroes, Duke Ellington, a jazz musician who shaped his musical career.
3. ‘She Will Be Loved’ by Maroon 5
'She Will Be Loved' is the third single from Maroon 5's debut album 'Songs About Jane' which was released in June of 2022. This single became extremely famous and charted as No. 1 in Australia, Belgium, Venezuela, and Mexico. The song also charted pretty high, reaching No. 4 in the UK, and No. 5 in the US. So it is a quite popular track that you can easily sing without any instrument backing your vocals up. Did you know that 'She Will Be Loved' was removed from several radio station playlists as it was quite light for the audiences who were used to listening to rock songs from the band? This makes the song an even better fit for your a cappella sessions. The band's lead singer, Adam Levine is a tenor so the song is better suited for singers with a high vocal range.
