Warm-up #1

warm-up #2

Warm-up #3

STEP FOUR

Join the Skylark Quartet!

Sing with three Skylarks in virtual choir style

(You will hear the other three voice parts sung in the click track performance, but
​ not your own part)

Join the live Skylark performance

Your Skylark voice part colleague will join you,
​but will be much softer than the other parts

Note: This is not the same performance as the virtual choir - it was recorded live with no click track. How different does it feel to sing with this organic version?
