Melodic reading practice 3
How about practising triad chords? We'll start with the C major triad and continue with D minor. The goal of the exercise is to sing each note of the triad in ascending order along with the octave. Then, the model is repeated as many times as needed in canon form, just as shown in the sheet music. Sing the notes aloud according to their pitch and keep the right time signature with the corresponding hand movements.
| Exercise 1: C major chord |
|
Here's the first exercise and this is the image of the chord. Use the sound to see how well you are doing. And there's a video below to use while you sing the third line of melody in the score. |
| Exercise 2: D minor chord |
|
Again there's a sound file and the video score to check your improvements. Each note of the triad is sung in ascending order along with the octave (D-F-A-high D). Then, the model is repeated as many times as needed in canon form, just as shown in the score.
