solo sight singing
Here is "Down in the Valley" with the melody and two harmony parts. It is in a major key. Remember to find the tonic first by looking to the last note in the melody. If you don’t have a pitched instrument to give you your tonic pitch, just pick a note that is comfortable for you to sing. The beauty of moveable “do” is that the relationships of the notes remain the same regardless of which key you sing it in. Tomorrow I will give you the answers.
