    Hi Lyndol,
    really liked this week’s seminar even tho I got a little lost on the shifting modes, but they sounded v//cool and want to nail that approach…I sing and love circling in and out of the melody.

      HI Ken,

      That’s awesome, I know exactly what you mean – circling in and out of the melody! SO fun! Nice way to express that.

      Thanks for your comment. I didn’t get to spend as much time on the ‘shifting modes’ as I would have liked., The first run through took a bit longer than anticipated. So I felt a bit rushed and hence – you feeling a bit lost – totally understandable.

      I’d like to do a full live seminar running through that same process (selecting corresponding scales/modes based on the melody/harmony). Maybe I’ll take a simpler tune as well, so it’s a bit easier to follow.

      But feel free to reach out in the meantime for a free 45min online consultation to go over the modes in Cry Me a River in more detail. (https://lyndol.com)

      Upcoming seminar this Saturday – Transposing to find the right key for your voice!

      Hope you continue to enjoy your music! Happy practicing!

      – Lyndol

    Have loved this song for (many, many) decades. Going from very minor to major as it does, and given the lyrics, it’s archetypal schadenfreude! Fun to play at any level.

    Hi Lyndol, I voted for a vocals class w/ The Nightingale Sang in Barclay Square. Loved the Annie? version. I am ashamed that my old brain has forgotten her last name….
