I grew up in rural Southwest Virginia in a little community called Emory. I have always loved music and making things. I am a retired elementary music teacher and currently enjoy teaching private music lessons, leading community singing and creating interactive music exhibits in my music garden. I hope to share these creations with the larger community.

tonic triad - Red River Valley
Today's lesson has more practice singing tonic triads in the context of a song. If you know the tune to "Red River Valley", try singing it before watching the video to see if you can find the tonic triad (do, mi so) in the melody. The song actually starts on the "so" below "do" just like the beginning of "Auld Lang Syne".
