Problem solved! I think she just needs lots of repetition with the mental exercise of thinking ahead with the pitches.

So I quickly devised a series of vocal warmups that will help nail that pitch with the electronic app. No problem finding a free app, but when she heard the electronic sound, she FROZE. Oh say, can you see, by the dawns early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming, 2. I suggested she and her mom download some kind of App that will give her the pitch. The notes and intervals are not a problem for her - what IS AN ISSUE is getting started on the right note! My vocal student will be singing the Star-Spangled Banner in June at some kind of Coast Guard ceremony. O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion A home and a Country should leave us no more Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.

I plan to put up piano accompaniments for the national anthem as well for now, I hope the chord symbols help.Ībout the new exercise sheet, for singers, or at least for you voice teachers: Star Spangled Banner Oh, say, can you see, by the dawns early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming On the shore dimly seen. If you want to sing more than just verse one, see the lyrics for all four verses of The Star-Spangled Banner as a downloadable PDF further down this page.
