Ballad Singing from Appalachia and Beyond
Sing unaccompanied ballads from Appalachia, Ozarks, England, Ireland and Scotland. Listen and learn songs line by line, not by reading music. Dig into songs' histories, practice singing them together, and as soloists. Everybody is welcome.
You will come away with 8-10 ballads to sing a cappella. Listen to a variety of singers' approaches to a given song. Using a lyrics sheet, practice singing the ornamentation and vocal styles in the old-time tradition. When you are comfortable with a song, you may try it solo if you'd like.
