Heya, 
Today we sing Somewhere in Heaven, and we play with wether that melody is Minor or Major. 

And then we play with Vocal Blending over Hallelujah. 

So fun. 

I mention at the end that Im going to be leading a workshop at the Melbourne Singing Event Mountain Festival in Melbourne in two very short weeks. If you're near Melbourne, come sing!!!

Thats all. 

The Northern Rivers Conservatorium approached me to write a fundraising song. I found myself reflecting on my year studying there — running barefoot between classes, learning music theory and discovering my voice as a musician.

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.

On this episode we take a little adventure to the other side of the globe. 

I take a "walk" around a far far away town and create a songwriting exercise using the Cycle of Fifths:

F, C, G, D, A, E, B

Fat Charlie Gets Drunk After Eating Blueberries

And then we think of five things about a town and write a song using repetion and relaxing!

Write using a land formation - a mountain, a river, a natural landscape as the theme. 

I wrote this song using the Cycle of Fifths 

as

the first part of the song uses the chords

F, C, G as major chords, 

and then it goes on to 

Dminor, Aminor, Eminor. As minor chords

The Words! are:

Part 1:

On Badger Road, at the Polar Expresso,

The sun is setting low, the sun is setting low. 

Part 2:

That rivers got a long way to go, if it's searching for the sea, 

that rivers got a long way to go, if it's searching for me. 

And we try to add a Drone Harmony note on the second part. 

Hope you enjoy and Lotsa love to all the folks that live at North Pole, Alaska!

Thanks for listening.

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,
