Description:
Great work! Now that you’ve completed all parts of this series, you’re welcome to select one or more parts for your routine, depending on your time constraints and current goals. Just remember to always begin with a gentle warmup!
If pitch matching and singing in tune is something you struggle with, I encourage you to follow these steps for any song you learn: first, spend lots of time singing along with the original artist, and look up sheet music to have a visual map of the melody. Second, sing with an instrumental cover of the song, so that an instrument is still playing the melody. Finally, try singing with a karaoke track. I hope that helps, and look out for daily intonation practice: major scale & interval focus!
