Fan Mail PortalOh, I get a bit silly in this one. At one point I turn into a fish, so that happens. We are singing triad Inversions in this episode. In the C Major Scale. C Major Triad - 1, 3, 5, D minor Tirad - 1, b3, 5,E minor Triad - 1, b3, 5,F Major Triad - 1, 3, 5Then to sing the first inversion, you move the 5, and you play it below the 1 and the 3, so they become:C Major Triad - 5, 1, 3,D minor Tirad - 5, 1, b3,E minor Triad - 5, 1, b3,F Major Triad -5,  1, 3,THEN! We sing The Major Pentatonic Scale! 1 2 3 - 5 6 - (8 8) aka: I want to go Milk a cow. Why so many of my exercises are about Milk, I do not know. Oh, and we're Sea Kelp. Then We sing a song for Bellingen, a beautiful town on the North Coast of Australia.

Fan Mail PortalHiya, 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! ShellyNorthern Rivers, New South Wales, Australia "The Shelter I Need" By Shelly BrownIt would be so amazing if you could add this song to a playlist somewhere.
