More in Land it

Think it, then leap

Do is your note. Re, mi, fa and so are the steps up from it: 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Do (1). Your comfortable note, home

Mi (3) and so (5). A third and a fifth up from do

La (below). Two scale steps under do: ti, then la

What you sing

  1. Hear the pair, then two quiet beats: hear it in your head. Then sing it. Did you hear it before you sang?
  2. Do to so, so to do, do to mi, la (below) to do. Each note short and separate.

Challenge: The clock chimes

The Westminster chimes: four little tunes on four notes, each note its own clean start.

Mi, re, do, so (below). The chimes' four notes

Sing "dong". Each note separate, like a bell

Land every one. Think it, breathe, start on it

What you sing

  1. Your Bullseye round first: the same five notes as your first lesson.
  2. All four chimes, on "dong". After each one, it's your turn.

Singing safely

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