Thanks so much! I so appreciate finding this for our AO hymn this month. We've been loving the Mother Goose canons. It's funny, I learned how to sing harmony as a child, and my mother often had us sing rounds. But as a singing mother I have been unable to help my children learn harmony. It had never occurred to me that singing in rounds was a key part of learning to sing separate parts. Since we've begun singing rounds together, their ability to harmonize has begun to develop. Your channel has been an immeasurable blessing to our family, thank you.
Wow - this is such an encouraging and wonderful thing to hear! I’m very thankful to know that your family is working through the Mother Goose Canons, and I would be happy to help in any way if any questions arise as you continue to sing together! Have a wonderful year of homeschooling!
Nice great tutorial , but… Needs to be studied with a piano each ( voice )first , then the harmony will be clear. It’s like another language for a musician. Reading texts in to music. Great job! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Haha! Interesting - can’t say I’d have any expertise on that style but I’m sure it would be worth a try. We really like Bruce Molsky’s version, if you haven’t heard it (though it is very much in the same old-time vein).
Yes, especially on the fiddle, an instrument whose sonorities and range so closely resemble those of the human voice (and whose sound rings right into your left ear)... Such a beautiful sound, though. Keala is a hardworking and talented musician! Thanks for listening, as always.
Thank you for the video. Is sheet music available for this? My family can read music, so the teaching session could just be handing over a piece of paper :-D
Thanks for listening. I’m happy to share a pdf for this if you’d like - no need for you to transcribe it! We like to teach by ear as much as possible because, while written sheet music is obviously a very helpful tool and reference, we believe that learning by ear is a more efficient way to transfer music (or poetry or scripture) directly onto the tablets of our hearts. Our hope is that students will be able to memorize the music (and the passage of scripture) in the amount of time that it takes to watch the video. My experience has been that using sheet music as a reference can be very helpful, but it can also sometimes slow down the process of memorization. Either way, happy to share the pdf if you email me at Nate at thesingingfamily dot com. Thanks again and happy singing!
@@TheSingingFamilyChannel Right on! Literate musicians usually have a TERRIBLE time memorizing! Thank you for the offer, but I'm done transcribing now. Keep up the great work!
@@dartme18 got it - thanks again! Offer stands if you find another one or two that you think are worth singing. Just shoot me an email, happy to share the PDF!
You are so welcome! Thanks for listening and I hope you've been able to sing this hymn with your family. Keep your eyes out for a lovely eastern hymn, O Sons and Daughters, which we'll be publishing this week!
Thank you! I hope that you enjoy singing it as well! If you haven't seen it, there is a teaching video on our channel as well that teaches the canon phrase-by-phrase. All of the canons on this channel are original compositions EXCEPT for the ones in the "Traditional Canons" playlist. Thanks again for listening.
Thanks for listening - that's a beautiful testimony to hear. 51 years is a long time to build a musical foundation as a community. I'd love to hear more about this group, and your work!
Thanks for listening! The other mother goose canons might be a good fit as well if you haven’t checked out all of them. We upload them weekly and they are organized by difficult to make it easier to structure your learning. Happy singing!
