Three of us made it out this week. We spent the time working on our brand new Beltane piece and have gotten it down pretty well! Considering I could barely play the piece when I arrived that night, I'd say we made extremely good progress! The second and third verse are meant to be an octave higher than they are in the recording but E5 is pretty high and, while we could get there, it wasn't particularly comfortable for any of us. We're pretty resolved to keep working on it, though, and we have other members who have greater facility with that range, they just weren't present this time.
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.
P.S. Apologies updates are so late this time! I've been utterly swamped and recovering from heat exhaustion.
