6 Shosholoza Solfège Allyssa Jones DAY 1 Use these solfège exercises to pre-teach interval patterns found in Shosholoza-- first in C major, then in G major. Exercises introduce/reinforce fourths and fifths. C major: & w w w w w w w w 2 & 4 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ G major: 6 w w w w w w w w w 7 4 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ Œ 11 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ Œ

7 2 Shosholoza Solfège DAY 2+ Work through this section until all parts are mastered. For a challenge, try singing all four parts at the same time Part 1: 15 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ Œ Part 2: 19 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ Œ Part 3: 23 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ Œ Part 4: 27? # œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ Œ

8 Morning Warmups Lips are closed, but teeth slightly open. All on one breath, slide gently down-up-down-up, then down by steps. Repeat a half step higher, 5 or 6 times. 1 Mmm mmm. 2 Separate the first two notes, then connect the following notes smoothly. Repeat a half step higher... Mm, mm, mmm......mmm. Mm, mm, mmm......mmm. Smooth and connected. Repeat a half step higher. Repeat 5 or 6 times or more. Mmm mmm. Slowly, smooth and connected, but do not slide. Aim and land right on the notes. Repeat... Mmm, mmm, mmm. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Or: Eee, eee, eee. Eee, eee, eee. Or: Hoo, hoo, hoo. Hoo, hoo, hoo. This Singing Warm-Ups Page available at

9 Encouraging Resonance 1 Allow the natural resonance of the "ng" sound to carry into the open vowel "OH": Hnnnnnnngggg - OH... Hnnnnnnngggggg - OH... Hnnnnnnngggg - OH... etc. In the vocalise below, the objective is not really VOLUME as much as it is FOCUS, in spite of the crescendo markings. Find the "ringing" spot with the voice, and volume will be easier to attain: 2 HnnnggggAH ah. HnnnngggggAH ah. etc. 3 As before, aim for FOCUS on each note, not VOLUME. Start soft and tiny, then expand the sound as the jaw drops. It is NOT necessary to open the mouth very wide to achieve the resonance. There are actually THREE vocalises in the next 2 lines; an octave, a fifth, and a chord to practice the sound: Oh... oh... Oh... oh... etc. Eee... eee... Eee... eee... etc. Eee... eee... eee... eee... eee... Eee... eee... eee... eee... eee... etc. 4 The final vocalise is especially effective in the lower part of your singing range (wherever that may be) - the Middle C area is demonstrated as it is easiest for non-pianists to learn the exercise there. Sing each syllable SLOWLY, finding a horn-like resonant sound: Mwah, mwah, mwah, wah, wah, wah. Mwah, mwah, mwah, wah, wah, wah. Etc.
