My trick when accompanying myself singing is to get the vocal part
learnt to the point where I no longer need the music or to concentrate
that hard ... and then it's just my hands (in my case on a
harpsichord) I need to worry about - having said that I often
accompany myself when learning notes but usually at the piano where
all note-bashing sins can be assisted by pedals!
Best,
Elly
Hello.
In addition to learning the lute, I have started formal vocal training.
In choosing to sing Caccini I have hit the "how do you play and sing at
the same time?" problem. Any cunning ideas? And when reading from a
figured bass how dense is the chordal underlay? Less than with a
separate Singer?
Thanks
Regards .. mark
