Been trying to learn this. Was singing with the fa lol singers until the pandemic stopped us from singing. Recently got together for a singing a couple of weeks ago. I decided to try to learn the notes again.
In shape note groups, is a note ever given, or are there singers with perfect and relative pitch who just lead. I can read the music but I can't find the note out of thin air
I want to learn this skill, but I find it really difficult. Maybe I just don't have the ability? I can sing, and I can do the scale, but _identifying_ an isolated note by ear/sight is something I just can't do; I can only seem to identify them relative to each other, by using the scale. It's like trying to learn which letter of the alphabet "G" or "N" is without reciting the alphabet to myself and counting.😄
I'm new to this, but it doesn't seem like the objective is to identify isolated sounds, but rather, be able to recognize the interval between the notes, which is easier to learn. Identifying isolated notes requires perfect pitch, which isn't an ability the vast majority of people have.
Thank you for this video I especially liked when you put the Bible in it😊
Shaped note singing is a skill worth preserving, and teaching.
I agree
Absolutely!
Excellent teacher. Lots of patience and no pressure. I glad it's in the low range.
I’m just starting out. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much. Please we need more of this.

Speed is not a key but getting it right you got point bro 👌
Also, are the notes relative to key? For example is Do always C or is it the root of the key?
Do is always C as it is simply the Spanish word for the C note.
@@grsimpson3957 ohhhhhh!!!!!
Do is whatever pitch the leader starts on. It's fluid. Doesn't have to be C.
Wow thank you so much, I've wanting to know this lesson on shape note . please I want more

You can definitely learn, it may take more time for some, but it's only 7 shapes/notes.
It’s like learning a foreign language-the more you listen to it, the easier it is to recognize it. Practice, repetition are the keys.

Page 9 the 1st sound is misplaced on staff in 1st bar. Correctly placed in 2 bar. -Editor/ete
We sing the notes accupla without the panio.
First note in measure 9 is incorrectly placed on the staff.
I'll take a look! Thanks
Yes, you are correct! Thanks
