What it teaches
Ti sits just below do. Mi to fa and ti to do look like every other step on the stave, but they're half as far: sing them close.
Mi to fa. Half a step: sing it close
Ti to do. Half a step: ti leans into do
On the stave. They look like every other step
What you sing
- Off the stave for a moment: each note waits until you're on it. Keep fa close to mi.
- Both half steps, names under the notes.
- Ti below do, then up to fa and back: names faint.
- From so down through both half steps, with no names.
Singing safely
Sing at an easy volume, in the middle of your range. Stop if anything tightens, scratches or hurts, and rest your voice.
