More in A blend from low to high

A scale across

Now step across your break on separate notes. Take a little weight off each step up, so the scale stays one voice all the way across.

One note at a time. Five notes up, then back down

Lighter as you go up. A little weight off every step

Stop if it strains. Tightens, tickles or hurts: rest

What you sing

  1. A quiet hum first, low and easy: hear it, then hum it back.
  2. Five notes stepping across your break and back, heard then sung. Lighter as you go up.

Challenge: Low to high, one voice

A siren from low to high in one voice, then your first slide beside today's.

Light before the break. Not after

Easy. Only as high as is easy

What you sing

  1. A quiet hum first, low and easy: hear it, then hum it back.
  2. Slide from low to high and back, through your break without a jump.

Singing safely

Voices that are still breaking should wait. Sing only as high and low as is easy, keep the top light and quiet, never drag a heavy sound up past your break, and stop if anything tightens, tickles or hurts.
