SPA CHOIR (WEEK 1 - 3)

Below are two videos for members of the SPA Choir to practice singing along to. The first video is a singing lesson, which can be used to warm up your voice before singing a song of your choice at home. The second video on the right is to the song "Yonder" which we started learning in the choir before the holidays. This song is a round and has three parts. You can practice singing each part with me and starting at different times. The lyrics for Yonder are below the video clips. Enjoy!

SPA CHOIR SINGING LESSON EDITION ONE.mp4

MCAcapellaVideo.MP4

Part 1: Yonder come day, day is a breaking

Yonder come day, oh my soul

Yonder come day, day is a breaking

Sun is a rising in my soul

Part 2: Yonder, Yonder, Yonder, Yonder

Yonder, Yonder, Sun is a rising in my soul

Part 3: Trees are green and air is sweet,

The good earth is singing underneath my feet,

I'll point my feet down that freedom line,

Walking that road I'm feeling fine, yeah!

Practice your hand signs

Teach your family the eight hand signs
You can also teach them the song "Do at your belly button"

Do at your belly button, Re like a mountain

Mi is flat, Fa with your thumbs down

So like a gate, La like a monster

Ti points up to Do! Do! Do!

The Kodaly hand signs help us to sing from low to high with the correct pitch.

We can also play these notes on the piano or keyboard too. If you have a piano or keyboard at home, have a go playing the Kodaly hand signs using notes C D E F G A B C.

If you don't have a piano/keyboard at home, you can sing the letters as you practice making the hand signs.
