Please, do a complete series on sight singing. I play classical piano so I know how to read music but I found this very helpful. Iâm also part of an amateur choir and a musical theatre group so itâs probably a skill I will need to learn!
Yes please continue these, I am in a small village choir but I am the only bass and these lessons are invaluable, even if not for a bass.
Super! Please also for Bass!!!!
So cool you do this! I'm sure it'll be helpful to many.
C major is fine. it's when the song is in other keys that i'm pretty much lost
True. The same rules generally apply, especially in terms of remembering your âhome baseâ not (which is scale degree 1). Try not to let the key signature freak you out too much, just feel your way through it. As always, keep an eye out for accidentals, or notes that donât belong to the key signature. You can also have that in C Major as well, but by keeping your home base note locked in, you should be able to get back on track. Definitely
not about being perfect, but being able to right the ship if you get lost. Good luck đ
Very istructive video! Thanks.
My pleasure! Are there any other areas of music theory / ear training that you think I should cover in the next video?
Would love to see a video for advanced sight singers.
Ok good to know! Iâll make it happen - anything in particular you want to know?
@@nickhiggsthesinger some ideas could be learning fixed do or movable do if youâre used to the other, strategies for becoming more familiar with any particular nondiatonic interval, or how to listen to other parts in a helpful way while sight reading.
I really liked this first lesson. I would only like to suggest that you decrease the tempo in the exercises so we have more time to make out what the following note is and be able to sing it accurately. :)
Nick, do you teach private lessons?
Yes I do! You can email me nickhiggsthesinger@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @nickhiggsthesinger - Iâll give you a free lesson :)
@@nickhiggsthesinger Nick, did you get my email?
What's a good way to make a routine out of practicing sight singing? I dont feel like this is something that comes naturally from learning a bunch of songs. Any good books?
PerchĂš non fare le lezioni anche in Italiano?
