3.1. Jumps in pitch

In the previous unit you started to blend the qualities of the different areas of your voice by working with five-note sequences, and then other note combinations, with only a small interval between each note. But obviously when you’re singing you will need to negotiate larger intervals.

To achieve a cohesive ‘one voice’ quality across intervals you want to feel that:

  • As always, movement is horizontal, not vertical.
  • The notes are connected, however different they are in pitch.
  • There is smooth movement between notes, even when they are switched on and off individually. 

You may find it helpful to re-visit some earlier visualisations, such as a skater gliding across the ice, or pulling a piece of chewing gum out of your mouth.
