The prepared solo is the part students think they have handled. It gets learned by singing along until it sounds roughly right, and roughly right comes apart in front of a panel.
The steps come in the order a singer actually learns music, one phrase at a time. Melody, rhythm and pronunciation stay separate all the way up, because a blended number cannot tell a director whether to run a section with a metronome or with the piano. Seventy percent passes a step.
All public domain. Alma del core by Caldara, G major in 3/2, sixteen phrases. Che fiero costume by Legrenzi, A minor in 12/8, twenty seven phrases. Se nel ben by Stradella, G major in 3/4, twenty phrases. Sing unto God by Handel, from Judas Maccabaeus, D major in 4/4, fourteen phrases, and in English, where the coaching is final consonants. Accompaniment in two keys: soprano and tenor medium high, alto and bass medium low.
Can a student start without paying: the first song is open to everyone, no account needed, and the other three need a class code or teacher plan. Does it replace a voice lesson: no. It replaces the note learning and diction I would otherwise do one singer at a time.
