Don't worry! Just play 3rds when you don't know what to do. And take
care to know, when there is a 4-3. There play the 3rd only after
whatsoever confusion and dissonance... ;-)

PS It is utterly important that you have practice! Even the recorder
players will do... ;.)  Singers are the best, because normally they
don't  know anything of the rhythm and pulse; you normally will be the
boss with the singers... And take care you know those things then... :-)
