Choral Cacophony Podcast #8 - Minor... is there anything Finer?

Nothing could be finer, than to sing Harmonic Minor in the mo-o-orning...
Well, maybe not the MORNING (cough)

Harmonic Minor Scales are tricky to say the least. They sound spooky too -- just in time for Hallowe'en.

Oooooooooo
Ahhhhhhh

I could go on, but now I'm just being silly. This short and sweet warmup will test your ear -- don't be scared to do it over and over until you've got it right!

Guaranteed to improve your feel for Minor scales and give you confidence in recognizing intervals :)
