Unit 4 · Your way

Where the moves go

A rule of thumb: put moves on long notes and the ends of lines and stay plain elsewhere, so they mean more. Then style a line with two moves at most. Free.

More in Your way

What it teaches

A rule of thumb: moves on the long notes and the ends of lines, plain everywhere else. They mean more when they're rare.

Long notes. Room for a move to be heard

Line ends. A fall-off or a cry to close

Plain between. So the moves stand out

What you sing

  1. Listen to both, then choose.
  2. Now the line your way: two moves at most, on the long notes.
Try one round

Singing safely

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