More Exercises
Here are some complete melodies to practise singing along with. Each one is given at a pitch which is likely to suit sopranos or tenors (each singing in their own octave) or which is likely to suit altos or basses.
For each example you will hear:
- The note you will be starting on;
- Some preparatory clicks, so you know when to start (the number of clicks depends on where in a bar the melody starts);
- The melody itself.
And remember, the more you sing the easier it gets.
