Thanks so much for listening. 
Today we talk stories about stories. 
About introducing a song and helping your audience breathe. 

Then we sing a song about Bad coffee. 

I'm playing Db Major, Db/Bb, Db/Ab, Db/Gb. 

"Bad coffee, 

still gets things done, 

In the morning light, 

in a dirty coffee mug".

Thanks so much for lending me your ears. 

Take care of yourself.

Ahoy my friends, 

Thanks so much for tuning in. We're heading on a journey about what the workshops I lead are like, Because! I'm heading out on the road baby!

I'm heading to The Northern Rivers Conservatorium in Lismore NSW,

Molesworth Hall in the Derwent Valley, In TASMANIA!

Callala Beach Community Centre in the South Coast, NSW,

and back to Bellingen, NSW, for a fun sing to end the tour!

Please check out my website if you are near any of those places! The Tour is called Spring Sing - so, from September 2026, we're off. 

https://www.shelly.com.au/workshops/

In this episode I sing a veeeery quick version of Siva Siva Maia by Bobby Alu, 

and then I head into a song about the Sun. 

The VERSE:

The Chords are A Major, and F#minor. 

"When that big old sun, Creeps it’s mighty way 

Through the horizon on your left 

Over and under, surprised by the thunder 

Maybe She knows what’s coming next". 

Thanks so much for listening. 

Also, 

For my dear Patreon people, Patreon is changing its terms and conditions, from "per Creation" to a monthly subscription- from November 1, 2026. As part of that big old change, I will, and have for the last few months - creating two podcasts month... Cause I reckon, for that change, I want to make it really worth your while. 

So. Just so you know, just because I have legends in Patreon, there's more episodes squeaking out. 

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING this thang. xxxx

Thats all.

This week we sing a classic Sea Urchin masterpiece. 

And then we dive deeper (see what I did there) to look at the clarity and pronunciation of words. 

I've got some exciting adventures coming up this year - I wonder if you're near any of them?!

I'm heading to Lismore Conservatorium NSW, 

The Derwent Valley in TAS, 

Callala Bay, NSW, 

and 

Bellingen NSW. 

Choir and Vocal Workshops. So Much fun. 

I'll post some dates ASAP, - but it's in Spring 2026, so pencil that in mentally if you're near NSW and TAS in Spring this year!!

Lotsa love and thank you so much, I appreciate it so much!

Hiya, Im running off to teach workshops and singing and schoirs at a singing and dance retreat in Byron Bay. So Fun! And Im squeezing this episode in before I go!

We sing these words:

With these chords: 

|| G             | %             | E dim                | %             |

| D              |        %      | G                       | %             ||

It’s all right here, 

just close your eyes and see, 

I don’t know the gravity, 

That keeps you holding on to me, 

I’ll spin around this earth, 

I’ll hold on to all the dirt, 

I’ll find my way through, 

and make it back to you.  

a Diminished Triad Chord is a 1 flat 3, flat 5. 

This is a tricky thing to chat about, because there exists a fully diminished and half diminished seven chord, but for here, I'm just talking about the Triad chord. Just the three notes. 

Thanks so much for listening!

Lotsa Love! 

Shelly

So, 

I was feeling down on the weekend. And so I took myself on a walk. And the more I walked, the more I found myself singing the times tables to music theory. 

I can't really say how I got there, but this is where we've ended up. 

Needless to say, I felt better after the walk. So, wether it was the fresh air, or the times tables, no one can say. 

In this episode, We sing

the 3 times tables to the F Major scale. 

Ascending:

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21

Descending

21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39

The Vague chords I'm playing are:

F | Amin | Bb | C | Dmin | Bb | Amin | F |

I know. 

Pretty weird. 

Then we sing the 

4 Times tables to the G Minor Pentatonic scale.

4 , 8, 12, 16, 20, 24

28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48

Woo!

THEN

We sing the the 6 times tables to my little Mixolydian melody I made up in 6 / 8 feel, 

and the chords are 

| A | A/G |

Mixolydian is 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, flat 7, 8

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36

42, 48, 54, 60, 66

"I don't know what you've been told, but I'm gonna go down, My Own road. "

I cant really say when my times tables album is coming out, but if you LOVE this, you should let me know, cause right now, I feel pretty funny funny. 

Is it ha ha funny or funny funny?

Anyhoo. 

Thanks for listening, 

you're fun.
