Singing sevenths

12/17/2011

Lots of practice in singing scales, triads, sevenths, intervals, rythmn dictation over the last week, all using www.teoria.com - a great free resource. 

I am getting better. .. 

Working on major, minor and dominant sevenths

Youtube has some good videos for internalising sevenths.  Its has just struck me that the a dominant seventh is the first few notes of Pretty Woman.  Ah - haaa!  I have it now! 
For intervals, I now have quite a few songs in my head that helps me recognise them.  

Earmaster has a good free resource online for intervals that you can personalise for songs that you know.  For me, The Simpsons for a third,  Amazing Grace for a perfect fourth, Stat Wars for a fifth.  My Bonnie for a sixth etc. 



I have also been dipping into Paul Harris books on sight singing. Its all starting to pay off a little. I have also been working on theory quite hard. 
 
Exams on 14th, 15th and 16th.  They were tricky but not too bad.  Performance week next week - can't wait.
