Artificially make people incapable of singing at all (even poorly), but still capable of speaking?

Magic has recently become possible in my story, and singing is the mechanism by which humans use magic. A totalitarian regime wants citizens who can speak, but not sing in any way, even poorly. (That is, they cannot produce a note at all.) If necessary, the speaking they are capable of can be whispering, or can be otherwise distorted, as long as it is intelligible.
