Two of us made it out this week. We spent some time working on "Maypole Dance" but, since it was just the two of us, we spent most of the time on them giving me a music theory crash course! I have our new Ostara piece complete but I was stuck on the music for the new Beltane piece. They helped me find direction for how to proceed. I got home, got on the keyboard, and figured it out! I roped in some poor, innocent musicians to provide any composition suggestions they may have and I will hopefully have decent recordings to share soon!
If you'd like to review any of our material, the sheet music and recordings are available on our Drive. For the naming conventions of the recordings, see the document in our Drive. You can also listen to the TPC playlist of recordings of some of the pieces by professional artists on Spotify. If you're trying to practice at home and can't quite discern your note, you can use a keyboard app to plunk out whichever ones you're having trouble with. (This is by no means an official endorsement, but the app I use is "Voice Training - Learn to Sing" by the developer Learn to Master. It labels the notes on the keyboard and gives you real-time feedback on what note you're singing.) If you need a tutorial on how to read music, this one seems sufficient for helping you figure out which note you want to find on the keyboard.
