Description:
Because it’s easier for most singers to descend, we’ll start with 3-note descending pentatonic riffs.
For each pattern, Camille will give you the pitch letter names so you can check your pitch accuracy with a chromatic tuner, if you choose. We’ll first sing on numbers, then DOO (or another syllable you like), and then a vowel (like OO).
We’ll increase the complexity just a tad in the next lesson.
