Singing with NJYC
Dec 17, 2020 Uncategorized
Had a great time teaching overtone singing to the members of New Jersey Youth Chorus, directed by Trish Joyce. By the end, the kids were matching overtone pitch and beginning to sing simple overtone melodies. Hope to hear that they will be using overtone singing in performance sometime soon.
I bought a guitar!

I got tired of having to borrow a guitar just to check a few fingerings, so I bought an inexpensive guitar just for that purpose. Who knew I would be playing it so much! No doubt you will see new music for overtone singing with guitar soon.
