Excellent advice, Kat. I was going to add to that by saying, get the student to correct what I’m doing, but actually yours is better because they need to actually feel it themselves!

Well said Kat! The amount of times I’ve said “This is the place to make mistakes. Otherwise, why else would you be here? If there were no mistakes, I wouldn’t be of much help!”
When have they had doubts??

Great question! I am the harmony queen (!) and my students probably think I’m weirdly obsessed with getting them to chuck a harmony on to every bloody chorus they record in a song!
However, I could really do with finding out about harmony exercises! I should know this as a choir leader too… I have done some scales in harmony (e.g. I sing G-G and get the student to sing the 3rd above, then we swap) and teach a bit of theory… that’s it really!

Agreed about the number. Makes all the difference as it’s massively more personal!
