Creative Practice
Choose your practice: the query of the day.
A great way to start: Choose one, or two intervals; play these intervals (i.e. a major 2nd, and a perfect 5th), and play (your choice) Bb, C, F---; Now play A, B, E. You've gone down 1/2 step. Continue 1/2 steps down, or up, into your comfortable range.
Now take the major 2nd, and a perfect 5th, and play them in consecutive extended intervals (Major 2nd, minor 3rd, Perfect 4th); Play these up, or down, through your comfortable range (i.e. a minor 3rd: Bb, C, F; Db, Eb, Ab; E, F#, B; G, A, D).
You will find your fingers warm and pliable without trying, and you will be working on new material that would not have been thought about!

Choose the interval you have the most problem singing.

Try this practice tip with the hardest interval, the
ReplyDeletetritone---diminished 5th----augmented 4th, and perhaps choose a major 2nd for the next interval.
Good luck!!
God Bless,
