What it teaches

You already carry these leaps in songs you know.

Oh When the Saints. Do to mi: a leap of three

Amazing Grace. So below to do: a leap of four

Twinkle, Twinkle. Do to so: a leap of five

What you sing

  1. Echo each leap: Saints, Amazing Grace, then Twinkle. Each starts with its key's chord. Medium volume and easy: stop if anything tightens or hurts.
  2. Round 1: the guide sings the first note. You sing the song's leap from it.
  3. Round 2: the same three leaps, each from a new note.

Singing safely

Sing at an easy volume, in the middle of your range. Stop if anything tightens, scratches or hurts, and rest your voice.
