How to Sing the Brazilian Art Song Quero Ser Alegre – Applying Just Intonation [Part 1/2]

“Still struggling to stay in tune, even when you know the notes?”

That’s because this piece isn’t built around the traditional functional harmony our ears are used to—so if you're trying to sing it with a "fixed-ear" mindset, you're actually making it harder for yourself.

There are no familiar reference points, and no strong memory anchors—so our usual tuning strategies just don’t work.

In my last video, I explained why singers need to shift from a fixed-ear to a free-ear approach. Now in Part 1 of my “How to Sing Quero Ser Alegre” series, we’ll apply that idea to a real piece:
