What it teaches

Now answer your line: a last line that rhymes with it and comes home. Gone, then on; day, then away.

Make it rhyme. Gone, then on; day, then away

Bring it home. The last note settles; stop if anything tightens or hurts

What you sing

  1. The answer line's tune, no words: find its notes.
  2. Sing your answer line to the tune.
  3. Sing it once more, then hear yours beside the guide's.

Singing safely

Tell it at a speaking volume, in your own clear voice, never forced or pressed down to sound deeper. Stop if anything tightens or hurts.
