I had a discussion with a band member this morning who is also my voice coach.
She had been considering getting an iPad with which to carry songs around on OnSong, like Tammy and I do.
She was concerned that the notes would be missing though, and that would make the melodies difficult to sing correctly.
I suggested that we can learn to sing the songs from the Beloff books, and we'd be okay with just the lyrics and chords in front of us.
I suggested that the musical mind remembers song melodies quicker and better than it remembers chords or lyrics (we hum melodies a lot, and that's the form of the Earworms we carry around)
She said I was right, chords and lyrics are the harder parts to learn. Chords come to me last of all, even after lyrics, and I don't know why. Songs are difficult for me to sing without the chords, though.
What are your thoughts on this?
