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.

sight singing practice in A major
Today's lesson continues with the round "Gaudeamus Hodie". I have notated it in A major in the bass clef so that you can check yourself if you tried writing it out in yesterday's lesson. I realized after recording the video that I played the tonic up an octave from the way it is notated. Altos and sopranos will sing it where I sing it. Tenors and basses will sing it as written which is an octave below where I sing in the video.
