Description:
Welcome to daily intonation practice for low voices: pitch matching focus. This is a three-part series. You are welcome to complete all three parts in one day, or do the warmup and one or two additional lessons. The sections do increase in difficulty, but it’s okay to jump around once you’ve completed the series in full. Whatever you decide, I recommend always starting your practice with a gentle warmup, like the one provided.
In part one, you’ll practice matching pitch with another voice (mine). In part two, you’ll practice matching with an instrument (the piano, in this case). And in part three, you’ll practice singing without a guide melody - taking the targets away - as is often the case when you’re singing a song. See you in the warmup!
