What it teaches

Now a whole answer of your own: the call's rhythm, and any of the chord's tones on every note.

The rhythm. Keep the call's

The notes. All yours, all lit

The syllables. Copy the call's

What you sing

  1. Four calls; answer each.
  2. Once more, then hear yours beside the guide's.

Singing safely

Light and easy: a loose jaw, a medium volume, the middle of your voice. Accent with breath, never the throat. Stop if anything tightens.
