Unit 3 · Italian

Skips that stay joined

Keep the line joined when the tune skips a third or more, on Vaccai's Italian lessons, so a leap sounds like part of the phrase, never a break. Free.

What it teaches

Vaccai's next tune skips over a note at a time. Each skip lands cleanly, and the sound keeps going.

Skip, don't slide. Land each note from the first sound

Vowels first. Then the words; stop if anything tightens or hurts

What you sing

  1. Listen to both, then choose.
  2. Semplicetta tortorella's first phrase on its own vowels, joined.
  3. Now with the words.
Try one round

Singing safely

Your own voice at an easy medium volume, never pressed or put on: classical is how you join the notes, not a voice you make. Stop if anything tightens or hurts.
