What it teaches
A post is one note held still while the chords move around it. Here, that note is yours.
Hold your note. The top of the chord
The chords move. Root, third, fifth, root: your note's job changes
Stay put. Each breath comes mid-chord; hold through every change
What you sing
- Hold your note through the four chords, breathing quickly where your part leaves a gap. Let the chords move; you don't. Headphones on.
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.
