Covering PERFORMING WITH OTHERS over the coming weeks: Singing with an Accompanist, Singing with other Singers, & Singing in Ensembles.
1. The singer is never truly a soloist, unless singing unaccompanied. For the most part, a singer will be working with another musician.
2. Singing with an Accompanist should be thought of as a Duet; an equal partnership working together to make music.
3. Most songs begin with an introduction on the accompanying instrument. The song starts from the first note, not from where the voice enters!
4. When Singing with an Accompanist, it is important for the singer to fully participate in the creation of the mood from the outset.
5. Similarly, when Singing with an Accompanist, the song does not end when the singer stops singing, but after the last note has died away.
