What it teaches

Now the ribbon fades away. Keep the note going and let it settle on its own: a wave, or calm.

Ride the wave. 4 a second

It fades. Stop steering

Let it settle. Whatever comes is fine

What you sing

  1. Follow the wave as it fades, then keep going on your own.
  2. Once more, a step higher: follow the wave, then let it go.

Singing safely

Never force a wave or shake it from your jaw or throat: vibrato grows by itself from an easy note, sung softly.
