My first CD project
jeanie
I recorded my first CD of all A Capella tunes. My songwriting friends said they thought it was gutsy. But I had the voice to pull it off.
the music is ballads and chants. tell me what you think. I need reviews and testimonials if anyone is into it. thanks. jeanie

Re: pitch questions
Brian
I recommend looking at the book "The Harmonic Experience" by W.A. Mathieu. It takes a very indepth look at the physical sensations of "being in tune", starting with the ability to drone unisons, octaves and other perfect intervals, and eventually working it's way to discerning the difference between non-well tempered intonations in eastern traditions. It's a remarkable work.
Any Scottish Gaelic Singers In The OKC Area?
Faith
I can't believe I'm the only one...

Anyway, I'm a member of a group named Mac-Talla in The Washington, DC area, ( The original one; not the secondary group in Scotland, now disbanded. ), and a past National Award winner, ( I took third place first time out at The Scottish Mod in Ligoner, PA a few years back tying with past gold medal winners, [ There's more to this story. ] ), and it would be fun to create a group here in Oklahoma too.

Most Old Traditional Scottish songs were sung A Cappella whilst the performer was working, ( weaving, cooking, spinning, harvesting, etc. ), as well as performed this way for dance music. Nothing stops a Scott. After our fiddles and pipes were taken away as instruments of war and of the devil, we sang "Mouth Music". If no one joins me, I'll still not stop. However, I don't allow audiences in the shower. ;o)

My teachers have told me that there is no such thing as tone deaf. Absolutely anyone can learn to differentiate pitch. It just takes longer for some.
