In today’s diverse musical industry, Belcanto singing and pop singing, as two main genres, each contain a unique artistic style and expression. Although they are both comprehensive style of singing, which have great differences in the themes, traditions, and aesthetic standards as a student who has studied both Belcanto and pop singing, this study realizes that it is essential for music learners to understand the differences between the two styles, and to avoid confusion among future students in the learning process, also to explore the differences between Belcanto singing and pop singing, and analyze the similarities and differences between the two musical forms. Through the comparison and analysis of the nature of Belcanto and popular singing works, this article talks about techniques and characteristics, the presentation of the works, and the average production cost, and the differences are revealed. This study found that Belcanto singing focuses on vocal techniques and the continuation of classical traditions, and its interpretation requires higher musical skills and muscianship. Pop singing, on the other hand, tends to be concise and catchy tunes and lyrics, and pays more attention to the appreciation of a wide range of listeners. By dissecting these differences in depth, this study aims to provide a clearer understanding of musical exprience, while providing some new perspectives and revelations for the field of music studies, thereby promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of musical forms and styles.
