Lesson details
Key learning points
- We can add more partner songs to a piece to thicken the texture.
- Each partner song must be sung to the same steady beat in order for them to fit together.
- Following the conductor shows us a visual pulse to follow.
- Singing confidently but not loudly helps us to keep focused on our partner song and not be distracted by the other tunes
Keywords
Conductor - a person who directs musicians or singers
Partner songs - two or more separate songs that fit together musically when sung at the same time
Texture - the combination of different layers of sounds
Pulse - the regular, steady heartbeat of the music
Unison - the same tune sung or played at the same time
Common misconception
Blocking out the sound of the other song will help you concentrate on your own part better.
By singing more softly, we can hear the other parts and hear how partner songs fit together. This is because they share similar musical characteristics such as the key, the rhythm, the tempo and chord progression.
