Please, do a complete series on sight singing. I play classical piano so I know how to read music but I found this very helpful. I’m also part of an amateur choir and a musical theatre group so it’s probably a skill I will need to learn!
@@nickhiggsthesinger some ideas could be learning fixed do or movable do if you’re used to the other, strategies for becoming more familiar with any particular nondiatonic interval, or how to listen to other parts in a helpful way while sight reading.
True. The same rules generally apply, especially in terms of remembering your “home base” not (which is scale degree 1). Try not to let the key signature freak you out too much, just feel your way through it. As always, keep an eye out for accidentals, or notes that don’t belong to the key signature. You can also have that in C Major as well, but by keeping your home base note locked in, you should be able to get back on track. Definitely not about being perfect, but being able to right the ship if you get lost. Good luck 🙂
I really liked this first lesson. I would only like to suggest that you decrease the tempo in the exercises so we have more time to make out what the following note is and be able to sing it accurately. :)
What's a good way to make a routine out of practicing sight singing? I dont feel like this is something that comes naturally from learning a bunch of songs. Any good books?

Yes please continue these, I am in a small village choir but I am the only bass and these lessons are invaluable, even if not for a bass.
So cool you do this! I'm sure it'll be helpful to many.
Would love to see a video for advanced sight singers.
Ok good to know! I’ll make it happen - anything in particular you want to know?

C major is fine. it's when the song is in other keys that i'm pretty much lost

Very istructive video! Thanks.
My pleasure! Are there any other areas of music theory / ear training that you think I should cover in the next video?
Brilliant

Super! Please also for Bass!!!!

Nick, do you teach private lessons?
Yes I do! You can email me nickhiggsthesinger@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @nickhiggsthesinger - I’ll give you a free lesson :)
@@nickhiggsthesinger Nick, did you get my email?
Awesome. This was so helpful!
Thanks a lot, this is so helpful
Genius🥇
It gets easier for me to execute those parts if I transform each of the numbered notes to "do re mi fa sol" 😀
could you tell me if i have a good singing voice, of if i should just drop singing?

Can you please tell from which store you bought this Tshirt
Should I sing” do re mi…” instead of 123…?
That would help... that's what I do when following this exercise 😀
Perchè non fare le lezioni anche in Italiano?
Skipping the notes is the problem lol
First
Second!!
