The baritone

The hole: the quartet without your part, then with it. The baritone sings the note the chord still needs, and crosses the lead: above it on the pickup, then under it.

The missing note. What the chord still needs

It crosses. Above the lead on the pickup, then under

Hard to hear alone. Listen to the chord, not the tune

What you sing

  1. Your part with the guide, at your own pace: "Down by the old mill stream".
  2. Now your part with the other three. Headphones on.

Challenge: Your seat

A quartet is four seats. Hear which seat is empty, then sing the baritone again, this time with no try first.

Who's missing?. Four rounds

The baritone. The note the chord still needs

Ring "stream". The phrase's held chord

What you sing

  1. Each clip is the phrase with one part missing. Which one?
  2. The baritone with the other three, crossing the lead on the pickup. Headphones on.
Try one round

Singing safely

Sing straight, not squeezed, at a medium-soft volume. Wear headphones: ringing needs them. Stop if anything tightens or hurts, and rest when hoarse.
