Vocally distant singing

Not easy but technology allows us to harmonise across time and space. Just put your headphones on and sing along with your part; record it on your phone and send me the result, with or without a movie – I’ll try and stitch the bits together. It’s vital that you sing along with the track and that you record with headphones on – I really don’t want to hear the track on the recording!

CLOSE TO YOU

California Dreamin’

A great song by John and Michelle Phillips – a good one to start with as,  a) we all know it,  b) it has great harmonies and c) it’s easy!

The resources

See below the scores for the four sections of the choir – it doesn’t matter which one you choose I’ve used the traditional labels of soprano, alto, tenor and bass – but my choirs have ladies in all sections and men in quite a few. I made a backing track to sing along with and different recordings for each part – if you listen to the audio tracks you will hear one part played much louder than the others. I will try and do a vocal version soon. I have scored all the parts in treble clef – don’t worry if you can’t read music – just do it by ear. The Tenors get the tune. One day the Altos will get a tune. One day. Sing whatever part suits you. Get in touch with questions – I could do a FaceTime or Zoom session for sections. I will send a message out and let you know.
