Description:
The pentatonic scale is 5 pitches, or tones. You can think of it as 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the major scale - or D R M S and L. In our warmup, we’ll sing the full pentatonic scale - but we’ll start with 3-note riffs in part 1. We’ll add one note at a time to end up with 5-note riffs.
There will be lots of listen & repeat, and we’ll always practice the pattern slowly before we speed up.
See you in the warmup!
