What it teaches
Now a part of your own: a line under the tune, from Terry's harmony. It moves less than the tune does, and ends with it on home.
Under the tune. Lower, and steadier
Hold your line. Let the tune go by; stop if anything tightens or hurts
Headphones on. Through a speaker, the crew rests while you sing
What you sing
- Find the part's notes. Each waits until you're on it.
- The chorus: your part under the guide's tune.
Singing safely
As big as you could keep up for the whole song, never shouted: a shout has no pitch, so it can't be scored. Pull with your body, not your throat. Stop if anything tightens or hurts.
