Description:
I encourage you to download these exercises for agility practice on the go. You’re welcome to mix and match, depending on your current skill level and time constraints. If your pitches are blending together too much, to the point that you’re sliding, remember the tools at your disposal: you can always sing a pattern staccato, or with a gentle “h” onset; and if that’s too difficult, you can add a consonant. Happy practicing!
