What it teaches
Now you choose. At each cantus note, every smooth note in your range is shown: sing any one of them.
Every lit note works. Thirds, fifths, sixths and octaves
Move against it. Opposite ways, as often as you can
A dimmed note. It would make parallel or direct fifths (both voices moving the same way into a fifth or octave), or an awkward leap
What you sing
- A practice pass, not scored: at each cantus note, try a lit note and hear what it does.
- Now for real, slowly: at each note of the cantus, sing any lit note. Make your own line.
Singing safely
Sing at an easy volume, in the middle of your range. Stop if anything tightens, scratches or hurts, and rest your voice.
