What you sing
- Five notes up and back on a trill, heard then sung. Can't trill yet? Hum or slide on "oo" instead: the app follows whatever easy sound you make.
- Trill the top note once more and listen back.
Challenge: The big dipper
A longer roller coaster, up to about an octave and back, on one bubble.
Breathe first. Then the whole ride
Light at the top. Easy, never forced; stop if anything tightens or hurts

Singing safely
Keep every sound quiet to medium and easy, never forced, and stop if anything tightens, tickles or hurts. Can't trill yet? A hum or an "oo" does the same job here.
