[Audio] Meld Christmas - Winter Wonderland

So it's December, and it's 11 days to Christmas!



Was reminded of this song when I walked in and explored the new Robinsons at The Heeren. Decorated in pure whites, greys and blacks, the place feels like winter, complete with a huge artifical crystal ball with flying snow and christmas trees within. Such a pretty sight!

Do check out the rest of the songs in the Christmas playlist & The Heeren if you're interested. Definitely a lovely place to check out if you've run out of places to go in town.

Merry Christmas from Singapore, a country with 365 days of summer. :)

[Audio] Meld Christmas - Jingle Bell Rock

A simple acapella put together for Jingle Bell Rock. Feeling all Christmas-sy this December yet again. I'm so sorry for being away for so long, but my hands have been so full with so many things!



Enjoy this Christmas season!

[Practice Kit] Hillsong - Believe

Hi there! Today's the first of April, and here comes the (mini) launch of my new project "Practice Kits". For simplicity's sake, all "Practice Kit" posts will have this additional pink banner at the start of the post. As explained on the sidebar, these practice kits are meant to (eventually) make up a bank of harmony recordings to songs that I have covered in video or not. Due to time constraints, not many people are that free to watch my videos again and again to learn the harmony part they want to learn and hence audio recordings seem like the way to go!

I will still be producing video tutorials! To be honest, "Practice Kits" take less time to produce than video tutorials. The video tutorial upload time to Youtube takes a long time because it's... well a full-on video with moving images (in this case, a moving me... haha).

The first practice kit will cover Hillsong's Believe.

Practice kits come in 3 parts (as labelled in the video e.g. Part 1 of 3, Part 2 of 3 and so on...)





Anyway, Lynette and I have actually covered this song before, dedicating it to our late mother. Here is the video:



I hope this practice kit works out to be effective for you! Please comment on the youtube videos if you have any feedback or have questions to ask.

Love and more,
Louisa

[Audio] Meld Christmas - It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas

A rendition of the popular "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas", a pretty apt song for the December. Have a merry, merry Christmas!

[Audio] Meld Christmas - O Come All Ye Faithful

Song: O Come All Ye Faithful

The first recording released under the "Meld Christmas" theme! I've actually previously released this recording under my personal account but decided to add this on with Meld Sessions' November/December project.

Every comment, encouragement or constructive criticism will push us to strive to create better stuff!

[Audio] Starfield - Hosanna (Individual Parts)

Continued from the previous post... Here are some aids to help you with 11 Sept's homework.

Here's Starfield's Hosanna in the key of G.

This post contains:
1. Hosanna (Melody + 2 Harmony Parts)
2. Hosanna (Melody)
3. Hosanna (Lower Harmony)
4. Hosanna (Higher Harmony)









The higher harmony is just for fun, and is not part of the homework. It was added just to show how many variations there really can be with parts! Harmonies are not static and fixed, so have fun experimenting (just don't sing out of tune and insist it's a harmony hahaha) :P

View previous post for Hillsong's Hosanna in the key of E!

Meld away!

Cheers,
Louisa

[Audio] Hillsong - Hosanna (Individual Parts)

This is an exciting post with aids to 11 September's vocal class's homework! Hearing these out will probably help you A LOT with the homework. So take your time to listen to these recordings!

The following 3 'videos' will be
1. Hosanna (Melody + Harmony)
2. Hosanna (Melody)
3. Hosanna (Harmony)







The reason why I stated "Hillsong" in the title is because Hillsong's version is in the key of E. In addition, I also did another set of recordings for Starfield's Hosanna which is in the key of G. (See next post!)

Have fun & meld away!

Cheers,
Louisa

[Audio] 4 Sep Lesson Review

Hi, this is my attempt at demonstrating what is the front (chest) voice and the back (head) voice. The chorus of the song in front voice can get a bit pitchy and I apologise that I sound as if I'm shouting (it is a strain!). Of course, do remember that ideally, one should use a combination of both voices. Take time to explore your own voice! :)

Cheers,
Lynette


This video is supplementary to the vocal lesson conducted on 4th of September.
