I had planned to put a recording of the round "Now All the Woods Are Waking" on my blog today, but I am having trouble getting into my Google docs account. I will post it as soon as I can.
Today's lesson gives you practice sight singing a simple folk song in the key of C major. Pause the video at the beginning to see if you can figure out the song. It has a small range (drmfs) and very simple rhythms (quarter, 2 eighths, quarter rest). The second half of the lesson gives you practice singing simple harmonies by following the notes in the chord progression. The song uses only the I (one) and V (five) chords. The I chord is named that because it is a triad built on the first degree of the scale (C in the key of C major). The V chord is a triad built on the fifth degree of the scale (G in the key of C major).
