Swing Low, rehearsed
A real song now: the bass of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, the roots under a whole group.
Roots on oo. Long notes, steady
Under three voices. The tune on top
Balance. The tune should float over you
What you sing
- The chorus's first line, with the guide.
- The chorus's first two lines, under the other parts.
Challenge: The floor
Everything at once: lesson 1's line, the walk home, the key held on your own, then Swing Low's bass in Sing.
The line. And the walk home: so, la, ti, do
On your own. The group drops out: hold the key
Then Sing. Your bass under a whole song
What you sing
- Lesson 1's line and the walk home. The group drops out for the last bars: keep the key.
- The finale: record Swing Low's bass in Sing, over the three guides. Add the other parts too if you like.
Singing safely
Low and easy: never press, growl or tuck your chin to reach a note, and keep your throat where it is when you speak. Stop if anything tightens or hurts.
