Hi How are you?!

So I begin with singing a D Major Scale over two octaves over the chords: Bmin/G and F#minor/D. 

I'm referencing a song by Tainui Richmond called "Turning it Over", though I don't sing his song. Do go check it out, it's cool. 

https://tidal.com/track/469516330/u

Then I scat over the chords: BMajor to G#Minor. 

MY NEW SONG IS OUT TODAY ON BANDCAMP - It's called NORMAL DAY. 

https://shellybrown.bandcamp.com/track/normal-day

The other folks I mention are Bobby Alu and Steve Poltz. 

Both definitely in my favourite musicians box. 

Thanks so much for listening,

I've got a new song coming out called "Call me for No Reason" AUGUST 17 - 2025  it's coming out on the Bandcamp Platform.

This Episode delves into where your voice would sit in a traditional Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass range, if you were singing this song. In A Major. 

You know I love playing harmony games, so it is more of that, but I really try to lay out the ranges of Vocal Registers. 

Please do head over and check out my new song. 

I'd be forever honoured!

Lotsa love and thanks for listening. 

Shelly

Heya, I wanted to work on a warm up that is a minor pentatonic descnding run, and on open vowel sounds. 

Then we head into a song about my chickens. 

Here's the words - 

Amin                          C7

You Never let me down, you always pick me up,

Amin                            F   G

You never shut me out, But now you’re out there looking for dirt.

There is a worm solo at the end. 

I wanted to work on letting notes ease out to a gentle end, or to end abruptly. 

Thanks so much for listening, 

lotsa love.

Hiya beautiful people! 

Thanks for tuning in to my podcast. Lotsa love to you out there. 

In this lesson we look at the Relative minor scale as a warm up. 

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

For my exercise I leave out the flat 6 once I get going. 

We then look at two songs and moosh them together, 

a song called 'Wondering where the Lions are" by Bruce Cockburn. Such a random song to call on, but it caught my attention, so there ya go, 

and a Darren Percival song called "Down in Africa". Hi Darren! You legend xx

I wrap up with me singing at my computer cause it's not working... 

"When am I gonna learn.... "

Thanks so much for listening. 

I mentioned a few things coming up - You can track down what Im up to on

Happy New 2025 has Begun. 
And I've squirrelled away an afternoon to say hi. 
I wanted to sing a big hard song to start the year. 
It's called Magalenha, by the incredible Sergio Mendez. 
I begin in D Major, and an Aminor. 
And we sing a major scale and then, technically a Mixolydian scale cause I flatten the 7, as the song requires. 

We sing this bit:
Calangulango, do calango 
da pretinha, 'Tô cantando 
essa mudinha pra senhora se lembrar,

Daquele tempo que vivia 
la na roça com uma filha
Na barriga e outra filha pra criar
