ABSTRACT

If you are having trouble singing a chromatic pitch correctly, it often helps to revert back to the stepwise motion introduced in Module 6. You can do this by singing the diatonic pitch that the chromatic pitch resolves to, then singing the chromatic pitch (like a neighbor tone) until you are sufficiently familiar with it to go back and sing the excerpt as written. Another technique is to sing the diatonic version of a chromatic pitch, then determine what its raised or lowered version should sound like.
