Re: Group 3 @Gail Starr if this is what you designate kindergarten you have nothing to worry about. The basic way to handle Harmonic/Roman Numeral analysis is to list all the chords as triads on the top of the…

Re: Group 3 @Juan Carlos Olite glad to see you're more aware of structure, breathing, and harmony - it's also helpful for your melody timing and structure. You're articulating cadences through the voice,…

Re: Group 4 @Priya Viseskul You are right - singing guides shape, depth, and intensity of the bass. In your video of hands together + singing bass your voice sustains, rises,…

Re: Group 3 @Dagmar yes you're right - you are listening carefully and identified the purpose of this assignment. I suggest using more breath support to help the bass lyricism emerge:…

Re: Group 4 @Eliza Davis great question. LH in a mazurka isn’t always softer than RH, it’s a delicate nuance in LH between beats 2 and 3 that has to be heard, without sufficient sound in tenor the music is…

Re: Group 4 @Eliza Davis good - I see the notes in m3-4 are fine! Have a listen to your recording and check mm3-4, you sing A-B flat instead of C-D in soprano!

Re: Group 1 @Adriana López Most of your singing I cannot hear, but the notes I do hear are in the middle range of the harmony? Try singing only bass notes - this will help your phrasing and security in the…

Re: Group 1 @Kerstin good work - this is tender and has better lilt than your previous post. I would still say the F-sharp in phrase 2 is a beginning and to give more time to the C-sharp at the end of m. 8.…

Re: Group 1 @Kerstin it's the beginning of the phrase; Chopin writes a slur that finishes there to show it's still legato, but the phrase really does end on the C-sharp in a poetic rise.…

Re: Group 4 @Letizia only comment is to approach some chords like m. 55-56 as applied dominants, when bass motion indicates a cadence (B-flat to E-flat = V7 of ii, labelled V7 ---> ii or V7/ii).…

Re: Group 4 @Priya Viseskul great work on this, it's great you'll work through the entire piece. Breathing work and bass singing paid off. Next steps when you play soprano and sing bass:…

Re: Group 4 @Eliza Davis I can hear you took deeper breaths and thought about longer phrases, you hit high notes much more successfully this time. Well done! Now, turning to the issue of the text itself:…

Re: Group 3 @Vidhya Bashyam good placement of first Re, correctly "found" the Sol - work on placement in your voice or perhaps move it up the octave if easier. It's important to feel the bass solidly in the…

Re: Group 3 @Hazel LH is well-played, first phrase has lovely vocal sound: your vibrato is appropriate for this mazurka's long tones. Help the sounds be more melancholic:…

Re: Group 3 @Natalie Peh Good LH accuracy. Phrasing at 0:39-41 is natural. Observe the rhythm more specifically: this Prelude is a stylized mazurka, therefore dotted rhythms cannot be triplets.…

Re: Group 3 @Andrea Buckland yes the change of colour at 0:10 is exactly what I hoped you'd do. Do this more! First two F-sharps of bass line need a similar approach: don't repeat two tones the same way.…

Re: Group 3 @Sindre Skarelven good ear, all bass notes are in tune. Listen more to repeated notes - sing them with a dynamic direction and phrase shape. In A-flat major give your voice a new colour.…

Re: Group 4 @springgrass good start, you're using your upper tessitura and following the melody's direction. Next steps: a bit more specific in tone on the 8th, 16th, and 32nd notes (m.…

Re: Group 3 @Andrea Buckland Yes this is the right idea and it is also not so easy! But your singing sounds exactly as I hoped in lyrical sense - we need more focus and breath support to sustain the same bass…

Re: Group 3 @Lc good work on Op. 52 so far - this is a very tough piece to capture in the voice and takes a lot of practice. A few details about the 16ths in theme 1:…

Re: Group 1 @Cliff Pleatman Listened to your video - your colour changes on couplets are natural and well-suited to the first phrase. Listen to triplets in your voice, they're all currently accenting first note,…
