_ a bit of a taste of what we do in Louisiana City Voices.
So, why don't you sing? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Just to_ Just _ to_
Yes, it's your turn now.
So, _ we're going to divide you up into
four parts, which is the standard
way of doing this.
So you've got Sopranos,
Altos, Tenors and Basses.
So generally,
not exclusively, but generally,
_ Sopranos are high female
voices.
So if you think you're quite high
pitched, then you're a woman. _
_ _ If you think you're quite simplistic, then you're a woman.
If you think you're quite
low pitched, then you're a woman.
You're probably an Alto.
_ _ If you're high pitched,
then you're a bloke.
Then you're a Tenor.
And if you're low, you can sing low,
then you're a Bass. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ What _ _ are we going to do?
To do a tune called
Wimberwood.
_ I'm just going to teach [F] you to do this.
_ [F]
So_
Choir, can you help me?
_ _ So, we'll start
with the Basses.
