Exercise #13

Exercise #14

This pattern is in 3/4 time signature. Keep the notes connected but not slurred, using the diaphragm.

This pattern is also in 3/4 time and uses the full octave range.

Exercise #16

Exercise #1

Exercise #2

Make sure to connect the 1-5-1 notes at the beginning without slurring them together.

Exercise #3

Exercise #4

This exercise has the staccato notes in the first measure. Use your diaphragm to make the notes detached and don’t add an “h” sound in front of each syllable.

Exercise #5

Notice how this exercises starts on the “5”.

Exercise #6

This is a fast moving pattern. Keep the eighth notes connected without slurring them. There’s not much time to breath before repeating the pattern, so take a quick, short breath.

Exercise #7

This is a long exercise that will take a full breath before each pattern.

Exercise #8

The “4” scale number is used in this exercise on the 2nd note, following by the “6” scale number. You’ll be tempted to sing “3”, so be careful to go up one note higher.

Exercise #9

Here’s another long exercise with not a lot of time to breath, so make it a quick, short breath. Watch for the “6” scale number in the last measure.

Exercise #10

This exercises starts and ends on the “3” scale number. Make sure to still hear the root as you’re singing it.

Exercise #11

This exercise has the 6th interval at the beginning, so make sure to not hit the “5” on the second note.

Exercise #12

Here we have the full octave in the first measure, so the last pattern stops an octave lower than the previous exercise patterns.

Exercise #13

This is a long exercise with a whole not at the end, so make sure to take full, deep breaths.

Exercise #14

This pattern includes the “2” one octave higher than the beginning root. Take a short, quick breath, but fill up your diaphragm as much as possible.

Exercise #15

Exercise #16

This pattern has a whole note in the first and last measure. Take a full, deep breath, but control your exhaling so you have enough air by the end.

Exercise #17

Notice the staccato notes in the last measure. Again, use your diaphragm and don’t use an “h” before them.

Exercise #18

This exercise is in 3/4 time signature and moves quickly. Notice the octave notes at the end. Make sure to hit them accurately.

Exercise #19

Watch the scale numbers in the first measure going to the “4”.

Exercise #20

The challenge in this one are the descending notes in the 2nd measure beats 3 and 4. It’s easy to go too low, so keep them high.

Exercise #21

And finally, another 3/4 time signature with a moving tempo. This is a fun one, but the challenge is keeping the notes connected but not slurred. This is a big diaphragm workout!
