From Dr. Whitmire: Dear Singers- Attached is Delius Worksheet #2 (.pdf). Last week we began to learn to identify the sounds of certain chords: major, minor, diminished, augmented , etc. With Worksheet #2 I hope to continue that process. If all this seems confusing or overwhelming, just relax. It takes time. See you tomorrow.
Yours-DrW
