Three notes (do-re-mi)

Three notes (do-re-mi) is a vocal warm-up of 5 notes per phrase, sung on “ah” and recommended from the Beginner level. Starting from C3, the phrase sings C3, D3, E3, D3, C3 and goes up a semitone on every repeat.

Up and down three neighbouring notes: the first step towards singing scales.

Tip: Hear each note in your head before you sing it. Small steps, no sliding between them.

Sing on “ah”

    What it is for

    Teaches you to change notes in whole steps, without leaps. It is the exercise for anyone who still slides between notes or can’t quite feel the difference between going up and going down.

    The notes of the phrase

    Starting on C3, the phrase sings these notes, and each repetition moves everything up a semitone:

    1. C3
    2. D3
    3. E3
    4. D3
    5. C3

    How to do this vocal exercise

    1. Choose the level: it sets the tolerance (how far off you can be and still count as in tune) and the tempo.
    2. Without headphones, listen to the whole phrase and sing after the count-in. With headphones, sing along with the soft reference.
    3. Each repetition moves the phrase up a semitone, to the top of your range, and then back down. On the voice line, green means in tune and orange means off the note.
