First observe of how many Notes compass the Tune is. Next, the place of your first Note; and how many Notes above & below that: so as you may begin the Tune of your first Note as the rest may be sung in the compass of your and the peoples voices, without Squeaking above, or Grumbling below.

Leading workshop with guest prof Sunday 2/16 at Upper East Side

The Manhattan Third Sunday Upper East Side singing continues February’s workshop series (in which Aldo Ceresa has so far, and very helpfully, discussed accent and leading) with a special guest appearance by Ian Quinn.  Aldo says:

Ian will offer coaching for singers who’d like to improve their leading skills, and for new folks who might like to try their hands at leading for the first time. Ian teaches at Yale University, and has fostered a strong Sacred Harp singing community in New Haven. A great supporter of New York City singings, he is also a talented singer, keyer, and song leader—and a lot of fun! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to practice leading and learn from a great teacher!

See you Sunday at 2:00 at the Church of the Epiphany, 74th Street and York Avenue.  FB event here.
