What it teaches
A scoop is sliding up into a note from below. Hear one, then a clean start. It's a habit, and habits change.
Scooped. Starts low, slides up to the note
Clean. Starts right on the note
The trick. Think the note before you breathe in
What you sing
- Listen to each start, as often as you like, then choose.
- Slide up into the first two on purpose, then start the next two right on the note. Watch the trails.
- Four notes, each one clean. Listen, think it, then land on it.
Singing safely
Sing at an easy volume, in the middle of your range. Stop if anything tightens, scratches or hurts, and rest your voice.
