What it teaches

Your own blues, to this tune. Start with one line about your day: Woke up this morning, my coffee was gone.

Woke up this morning. My keys, my coffee, my bus was gone

Say it out loud first. Then sing it to the tune; stop if anything tightens or hurts

What you sing

  1. Three lines sung to the tune. Listen, then choose.
  2. Sing your line to the tune, then say it again.
Try one round

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.
