Scofield Studio: HiTS Jumping Up, Then Down 3rds from Low DO

🎶 Skip & Step: Singing Thirds | Ear Training with Jocelyn

Welcome back to Scofield Studio’s HiTS series (How to Singing)! In this video, we level up your ear training with an interval exercise that mixes skipping thirds and stepping seconds. This one's all about agility and musical independence—great for singers who want to really hear and feel their intervals.

We’ll start with call-and-response and gradually remove vocal and piano guidance so you can sing independently. You’ll build interval recognition and improve your solfege agility across a major scale.

🎧 This video helps you:

Skip intervals cleanly without walking through them
Improve pitch memory and interval leaps
Gain confidence in your solfege accuracy (Do Mi Re Fa…)
