Here is a demonstration of how important musicianship is with our older singers, developing a deep understanding of harmony. Here we have Intermediate and Senior Voices combined, singing an ascending major scale (notes in step going up), then dividing into four groups on the way down - each group landing on a different note, creating a chord. In this demo, the first chord is a minor chord (Chord 6), which the whole group then alters to chords 4, 5 then finally 1. Listen to how the chords change: some groups will need to move pitch, whilst others remain the same, depending on the chord being sung...
