Pony Blues


Singing and Endings

In this lesson we discuss different ways that we can come up with endings. Be creative but keep it simple and rhythmic. Then we discuss ways to think about singing and how to use your voice to the maximum effect by not opening our mouth too wide when we sing. I also demonstrate the singing line of Pony Blues, so as to give you an idea of what I am talking about. I hope you will enjoy this lesson.
