The Singing in Tune blog category focuses on harmonizing in tune. Based on cutting edge intonation research, Success Music Studio has created specially tuned sing-along songs. The sound files help foster a cappella level vocal tuning.
Alternately, Shape Notes and Solfege works on sight reading and melodic tuning. As the title of the category implies, we use shape notes combined with solfege (Do, Re, Mi) for sight reading. At the same time, solfege creates a sound model for tuning up melodies when used with the sing-along songs.
We will explore phrasing music, vocal tone, and intelligible text in either or both of the blog categories.
Have fun!
