Minor 3rd

Welcome to the first routine of the Intervals Routine Series, a response to the never-ending and somewhat monotonous major scale warm-ups. If you’re aiming to enhance your voice, it’s essential to put equal effort into developing your ear. This routine consists of 19 exercises centered around the Major 3rd, the smallest yet highly significant and ever-present interval.
